JEDDAH – Global logistics leader UPS announced expansion of its UPS Worldwide Express package service in Saudi Arabia, through its Authorized Service Contractor EIRAD. This new service creates an earlier guaranteed-delivery option for customers in Saudi Arabia, who previously had only end-of-day guarantees. UPS Worldwide Express service offers guaranteed delivery on the next possible business day by 10:30 a.m., noon or 2 p.m. depending on the destination. This move follows last year’s expansion of the service.
UPS already delivers more packages internationally than any other carrier. This expansion of UPS Worldwide Express service will give customers – especially those with time-sensitive shipments – the guaranteed time-of-day deliveries they need to thrive as international trade continues to grow.
Jean-Francois Condamine, President of Indian Subcontinent, Middle East, and Africa for UPS said, “Saudi Arabia is a large economy with a growing middle class and continues to be a key market for us in the region. The expansion of our services demonstrates our long-term commitment to our valued customers in Saudi Arabia. UPS Worldwide Express service now gives customers more options to reach other key global markets.” The service, now available to 88 countries and territories, is part of the broader UPS Express portfolio, which offers three guaranteed time-of-day delivery options that include customs clearance. — SG
