UPS Smart Pickup®

UPS Smart Pickup^®combines the predictability of an automatic Daily Pickup with the flexibility of requesting a pickup on demand. Having UPS come to your business only when you have a package to ship saves fuel and can reduce carbon emissions.

Description

The UPS Smart Pickup option uses innovative technology to automatically arrange a pickup only when you have packages to ship. When you process a shipment using WorldShip^®, UPS Internet Shipping or UPS CampusShip^®, the system automatically notifies a UPS driver to make a UPS Smart Pickup that same day to pick up all prepared packages. If a package is processed too late in the day to notify the UPS driver to pick up your package the same day, you can schedule a UPS Smart Pickup for the following day, request a UPS On-Call Pickup^®, or find a UPS location to drop off your shipment.

Details

UPS Smart Pickup is available to UPS account holders for all UPS services from any validated pickup location in the U.S.

• Choose the scheduled pickup time when you open your payment account or edit your account options.
• UPS Smart Pickup notify time is generally one hour before your scheduled pickup time.

The first package of the day must be processed before the notify time in order to receive a pickup that same day.

In the event that the first shipment of the day is processed after the notify time, you may:

• Schedule a UPS Smart Pickup for the next business day.
• Schedule a UPS On-Call Pickup for the same day, if possible.
• Find a UPS drop-off location

Customer must process a shipment:
