The UPS Store Scottsdale

To keep your shipping costs to a minimum, make sure you pick smaller, lighter gifts to ship. Pick a box that is just large enough to fit your item into with cushioning materials surrounding them. The UPS Store Scottsdale has a wide selection of brown and decorated boxes to ship with. We make sure your parcel gets there in one piece.

Keep your gift small and light, keep the box small and packed right. Ship UPS!

Receiving ugly brown boxes in the mail for Christmas is not any fun! So come to our store and get shipping boxes that are decorated in bright colors and Christmas themes. They make wrapping easy because the box is the wrapping paper! Just put your gift inside with the proper cushioning and put it under your tree or send it through the mail or by UPS!

Advertising is cyclical. Emails, web sites and social media have become the big buzz in advertising. The competition for people's attention is fierce!

Have you noticed there is less mail advertising? Guess what, this means your direct mail has more of a chance of being read. And with the new program from the USPS that makes canvasing specific neighborhoods much less expensive, direct mail is now effective and inexpensive.

Normally we associate higher prices with name brands. We choose them because we perceive higher quality or we simply know what to expect.

When it comes to shipping stores The UPS Store still provides the highest shipping standards through UPS but does it really cost more than if you went to an independent no-name mail store? Not really and in fact it may cost less!

When UPS took over the Mail Boxes Etc. franchise, and renamed the stores "The UPS Store", they required franchisees to sign a contract that says we have to charge the same shipping charges as UPS does at their retail hubs.

Other mail stores are not under the same contract. They can set any price they want and customers have told us they sometimes do pay more. And they pay UPS more for shipping than The UPS Store owners pay UPS. Thus, just to stay profitable many have to charge more than we do.

If you are using an independent no name mail store I challenge you to prove this to yourself. Compare prices and see for yourself. Additionally you may want to walk into a The UPS Store and see how you are treated and how carefully we pack your boxes for you and serve you. You be the judge!

Shipping costs are based on both size and weight. So your goal in saving shipping costs is to keep the size of the box as small as possible while still protecting your shipment from damage.

Many people make the mistake of using a cheap used box. Several problems arise from this. First the box may be too big for the item you are shipping. Remember, the bigger the box the more shipping cost you pay. Second, the larger unused volume must be filled with expensive packing materials. So, buy a box that is the right size to fit your item for shipment.

And finally cheap used boxes can break open or get crushed. This may cause your shipment to break or spill on the conveyor belts in the shipping hub and get lost. Worse an insurance claim for your loss may be denied for not using proper packing materials. We recommend you buy fresh new boxes from the The UPS Store.

Another trick a professional packer will use is to cut the box down to a smaller size to make it fit better. This reduces shipping dimensions and can save a bunch of money on air shipments. The experts at The UPS Store routinely do this where appropriate.

All The UPS Stores have a wide variety of boxes to help you keep the size of your shipment to a minimum. We use the proper strength boxes and packaging materials to make sure your items are not damaged in shipment and that the size of the box is kept to a minimum to save you shipping costs. And if on that rare occasion it does get damaged, parcels packed and shipped by the The UPS Store are covered by the pack and ship promise!

If you miss the last daily UPS pick up time your package does not go out until the next day and adds an extra day to your delivery date. That means you may have to pick a more expensive option to get your package there on time. So find a late delivery pick up in your area. Ours is 5:45 for air and ground pick up.

Finally, compare our shipping prices to the small independent UPS shippers. They are allowed to mark their prices up higher than The UPS Stores can. We are contractually bound by our franchise agreement to keep our shipping costs at the same level as the UPS hubs charge for retail shipping. It may surprise you but the branded The UPS Store may actually be cheaper than the mom and pop mail store!

So in summary, keep the box size small, the packing materials light, use proper shipping materials and find a The UPS Store to find the best pick up times! This will save you money and hassles.
