The service

What is UPS Express?

The time definite air service, delivered by a stated time on the promised day. It sits within UPS's range alongside UPS Standard, and the difference between them is speed and price rather than handling.

Speed

How fast is UPS Express?

Time definite, usually next business day where available. The exact estimate for your route is shown in the quote, along with the latest booking time for that service. If you are close to a cut off, the quote tells you before you pay rather than after.

Cost

What does UPS Express cost?

Price depends on size, weight, route and how fast you need it, so there is no single figure. What ParcelMatch guarantees is that the figure you see is the figure you pay: the carrier rate, one small fixed platform fee and VAT, with any collection fee and any remote area surcharge already included.

From £2.95

Across all carriers, for a small tracked parcel.

VAT included

Shown in full before you pay, never added after.

Collection fee in the figure

Any collection fee is already in the price you see.

Surcharges included

Any remote area surcharge is in the quote.

When to choose it

Urgent international consignments and anything with a customs deadline at the other end.

How much is UPS Express?
It depends on size, weight, route and speed. The full price, VAT included, is shown before you pay, with no surcharges added afterwards.
