UPS delivers packages through a network of drivers, vehicles, and sorting facilities. When a package is picked up, it is scanned and assigned a tracking number. The package is then transported to a sorting facility where it is sorted based on its destination. From there, it is loaded onto a delivery truck and delivered to the recipient’s address. UPS also offers various delivery options such as signature required, delivery confirmation, and delivery to a UPS Access Point location. Additionally, customers can track their package in real-time through the UPS website or mobile app.
