What is UPS Standard?
The economy road service. Slower than Express, considerably cheaper, and the usual choice for European destinations. It sits within UPS's range alongside UPS Express, and the difference between them is speed and price rather than handling.
How fast is UPS Standard?
Economy, typically two or more working days. 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.
