What is the difference between UPS and USPS Priority Mail? |
[Edit] |
Answer
UPS is United States Parcel Service which I believe is privately owned and the other may stand for United States Parcel Service Priority mail which is through the US Gov. postal service. ( YOU know, the Post office ).
Answer
There is little difference between the two shipping services. However, USPS Priority mail is generally guaranteed to reach its destination within 2-3 business days, and UPS Ground can sometimes take up to 2 weeks. UPS also offers airmail service, which reduces the length of time, and depending upon where it is being shipped to, can be delivered next day. USPS has strict weight and package size guidelines, and UPS will allow any size other than that which is required to be transferred via freight service.
UPS and USPS both offer competitive rates, and are far less than the rates of FED-EX.
I hope that I have helped you out!
