UPS Package Pickups
UPS offers four different pickup options:
-
Smart Pickups
If you plan to use UPS regularly, we recommend using Smart Pickups. With Smart Pickups, UPS will come to your address to pick up packages on days that you create shipments in Shippo. UPS only comes if you created shipments for that day. Click here to learn more.
-
On-call Pickups
Schedule on-call pickups as needed. Click here to schedule or call 1-800-PICK-UPS (1-800-742-5877)
-
Daily Pickups
Schedule daily pickups, or choose specific days for pickup each week. Click here to learn more.
-
Route Pickups
Schedule on-route pickups. With on-route pickups, a UPS driver will stop at your address every day while they are out making deliveries. With this option, you still get daily pickups while also reducing the environmental impact by allowing UPS to combine deliveries and pickups on one route. Click here to learn more.
