Various UPS U.S. pickup options

UPS provides many types of pickup options for all. We are discussing them below one by one so that you can select the one which suits you the best for your situation. Have a look below:

UPS Smart Pickup- This is the option best for people who want their shipment to get an automatically scheduled UPS home pickup every time their shipment is processed. With this option, every time the person processes the shipment, the driver is notified to pick up the package from the address you have mentioned in your account. This is suitable for people who don’t use the service frequently but want fast pick up when they need package shipping. You can easily get this service online by following these steps:

Select the ‘Schedule a Pickup’ option from the drop-down menu of the shipping tab on the UPS site. Refer to Image 1.

On the left side, select the option ‘Request a UPS Smart Pickup’ and a new window will be open. Fill in the detailed account number and UPS account ZIP code in order to get the UPS Smart Pickup. These details are just for security purposes only.

Fill all sections of the form and click submit to proceed further to request your UPS Smart Pickup.

Day-Specific Pickup- This type of pickup option is suitable for people who use the shipping service only on specific days. With this option, you can select your chosen business days and the driver will collect your pickup from the mentioned location on every selected day. However, make sure your days should not exceed more than 4 business days as UPS doesn’t allow this pickup service for more than 4 business days. The service is available from Monday to Friday business days at any UPS locations. Keep in mind the service charge will be applicable. It will be based on the number of days for this service to be selected. The next pickup is automatically scheduled every time, so it will save your time immensely.

Daily On-Route Pickup-This type of pickup service is suitable for people who need a daily pickup but are okay with the flexible pickup times. With this option, the driver will pick the shipment daily whenever he will be in that area. This service is available from Monday to Friday business days at any UPS location and the service charge applies weekly.

Daily Pickup- This is a suitable pickup service for people who are in need of daily pickup options. The driver will daily pick the shipment from the mentioned address on time. One of the benefits of this type of service is it gives you peace of mind as well as you will get weekly charges not daily. The service is available for all UPS locations.

UPS On-Call Pickup- This type of pickup option is suitable for people who require pickup service occasionally and on-demand. You can make a call on UPS Pickup Number 1-800-PICK-UPS  or you can also schedule your pickup at the UPS website whenever you need a pickup service. The best thing about this service is that it is free of charge for most services. However, the exceptions are non-recurring package pickups sent through the Ground. Even the fee is low because UPS charges per pickup basis not for every package. Also, make sure for which area you want the pickup service. It’s because UPS charges some extra fees for the pickup service in the area designated as a rural or remote area.

Note: These options are available for all types of packages- ground, air or international.
