What is UPS Surepost?

The most expensive part of the shipping process is the final leg, which is known as the “last mile,” regardless of how far packages travel to reach their final destination. It’s expensive because it’s inefficient — deliveries are made in small quantities to many different residential locations as opposed to concentrated deliveries to a few commercial locations.

In an effort to reduce those last-mile costs, UPS created SurePost, a consolidated delivery service that uses the U.S. Postal Service to complete the last leg of each delivery to residential customers.

USPS has a mandate to deliver to every address in the U.S., no matter how far-flung. Amazon has long taken advantage of this.

UPS SurePost is a shipping service that utilizes UPS’s ground networks to cover most of the distance a parcel needs to travel, but relies on the U.S. Postal Service for the final leg of the shipment. It’s a cheaper option that, according to UPS, provides just about the same level of service as standard ground shipping.

UPS SurePost can be as much as 20 percent cheaper than UPS residential ground service, with similar service offerings.

Shippers and customers can still track packages, including during the final leg of their journey, with USPS. Parcels technically include two shipping labels, one for each service, but customers can see shipments move through both services seamlessly with just one tracking number.

(Video) UPS GFF Q&A: Why do I need a 9-digit account number for the UPS Forwarding Hub?

SurePost also offers UPS customers two additional perks. First, USPS offers Saturday delivery standard to all its customers, including UPS SurePost shippers. Second, USPS delivers to every address in the U.S., which could give your business access to customers that UPS did not serve with standard ground shipping — including P.O. boxes, which UPS ground normally does not serve.

UPS SurePost Versus UPS Ground

UPS SurePost relies on the UPS Ground network. Parcels travel in pretty much the same way — passing from shippers’ establishments to trucks to warehouses, repeated as many times as necessary — until the final leg of their journey.

At that point, standard ground shipments are delivered to end customers by those big brown UPS trucks.

SurePost shipments, on the other hand, are dropped off at local post offices. Then, USPS trucks take them to customers’ homes or offices.

UPS Shipment Reference Tracking

A shipment reference is an identifier that you define by completing the "reference" fields during the shipping process. This reference could be a purchase order (PO) number, a customer number, a company name, a Bill of Lading number, or a phrase that identifies that shipment -- such as "10 crates" or "gift for Mom." Shipment references can be any combination of letters and numbers up to 35 characters.

For UPS Mail Innovations® shipments, a shipment reference is a unique package ID that you assign through barcoded information for each of your mail pieces. This information can be up to 30 characters in length and be alpha and/or numeric with no spaces or symbols. Package IDs should not be reused for at least six months.

These reference numbers are used to identify and track shipments as they move through the UPS Mail Innovations network and the United States Postal Service®, which makes the final delivery.
