UPS Ground Saver: The Savvy Shipper's Secret Weapon

Are you in the know about the shipping game-changer that is UPS Ground Saver? If not, you're in for a treat! This cost-effective ground shipping service is your ticket to sending non-urgent, low-value shipments to residential addresses without breaking the bank.

Picture this: You've got a stack of lightweight packages that need to make their way to customers' doorsteps without breaking the bank. That's where UPS Ground Saver comes in. It's like the hero of the shipping world, specially crafted for reliable delivery when time sensitivity isn't the name of the game.

But wait, there's more! UPS Ground Saver isn't limited to just domestic deliveries. It spreads its wings, allowing you to ship to PO Boxes, U.S. Territories, and Military Addresses all over the globe. Now, that's what we call a shipping solution!

Here's the inside scoop on what makes UPS Ground Saver stand out:

Economical Excellence: This service is the budget-savvy shipper's dream come true. Say goodbye to costly shipping bills and hello to savings.

Seven Days a Week: UPS Ground Saver doesn't take weekends off. You can get deliveries any day of the week, even on Saturdays and Sundays.

Lightweight Love: Designed for small, lightweight packages headed for residential spots, this service is all about keeping it simple and affordable.

The UPS and USPS Connection: UPS Ground Saver packages are passed through the UPS network and may be delivered by either UPS or handed over to your friendly local Post Office (USPS) for that final mile.

Now, let's talk labels. UPS Ground Saver labels may look a tad different than your regular UPS labels. That's because USPS sometimes steps in for the last-mile delivery, making it a tag-team effort. These labels have two tracking numbers and multiple addresses, which might seem perplexing at first.

Your Shipping Address

Address of the local Post Office where UPS hands off the package

UPS Tracking Number for the UPS journey

Recipient's delivery address

USPS Tracking Number for the last-mile delivery

Just like all other UPS shipments, tracking your UPS Ground Saver packages is a breeze. Head over to your Deftship shipment page, and you'll find the tracking number. Click on it, and you're on your way to UPS's tracking page. Simple, right?

Now, let's talk about money matters. UPS Ground Saver labels on Deftship come with $100 of carrier liability, but here's the catch: it only applies while UPS has a hold of the package. If USPS takes over for the last leg of the journey, UPS's responsibility ends, and the $100 carrier liability goes out the window. For complete peace of mind, consider snagging additional insurance for full coverage throughout the entire shipment journey.

• It's designed for residential addresses, not commercial ones.

• Shipping to PO Boxes, Military Addresses, and U.S. Territories is a green light.

• Keep an eye on those size and weight limits. Going over might cost you.

• If your package is on the larger side, a surcharge may sneak in.

• No signature confirmation is available for UPS Ground Saver, so no John Hancock is required.

• Rubber stamps don't play well with Ground Saver labels, so keep them away.

• The shipment dances to the tune of both UPS and USPS policies, depending on the last-mile delivery.
