1. What is the process for preparing a UPS package for mailing?
– First, ensure that the item being shipped is properly packaged and labeled with the recipient’s address and your return address. Then, visit a UPS location or schedule a pickup online. Pay for shipping and print out a shipping label to affix to the package. Finally, drop off the package at a UPS location or hand it to the driver during pickup.
2. What are the size and weight restrictions for UPS packages?
– UPS has specific size and weight restrictions for packages. The maximum weight for a package is 150 pounds, and the maximum length plus girth (2 x width + 2 x height) is 165 inches. Packages that exceed these limits may require special handling or be refused for shipment.
3. How can I track my UPS package after it has been mailed?
– Once your package has been mailed, you can track its progress using the tracking number provided on your shipping label. You can track your package online through the UPS website or mobile app, or by calling UPS customer service. The tracking information will provide updates on the package’s location and estimated delivery date.
