Did you know? Worldwide Express customers order UPSĀ® supplies for free!
If you ship parcels frequently, the cost of packaging can take a bite out of your profits. Whether your small to midsized business (SMB) deals in e-commerce or traditional parcel shipping, keeping delivery costs down is a high priority. If you need specialty packaging for medical shipments, costs can be even higher. And keeping shipping supplies in stock adds one more piece to the already intricate puzzle of doing business.
That's why Worldwide Express allows its parcel shipping customers to order UPS supplies with ease. And they're free!
Getting UPS Shipping Supplies Is Simple
When you first engage with Worldwide Express for UPS parcel shipping, your account representative will arrange for you to get your first batch of packaging supplies. When your supply starts running low, you can order more using our simple online order form. You just need to provide a few pieces of information, including your UPS account number.
For even easier reordering, you can use SpeedShip®, our proprietary transportation management system (TMS). Once you're logged in, navigate to Services and select Order UPS Supplies, then choose the types and amounts of packaging supplies needed.
Get a Wide Range of UPS Supplies
What packaging supplies can you order for free for your UPS parcel shipping? Choose from a long list of packaging types, as well as stickers (to help identify certain shipment types) and pouches for shipping labels. Shipping supplies you can order, include:
Envelopes. UPS provides a variety of envelopes for shipping documents and small flat items (including some medical samples).
- UPS Express® Envelopes (one-time use or reusable). If you need to send urgent documents one way or would like them returned to you, these options are ideal.
- UPS Window Envelopes (letter and legal size). If you print out paper labels, these envelopes feature a built-in plastic pouch to easily attach them.
- UPS Medical Envelope. This envelope is specifically designed to transport certain medical and laboratory items.
Packaging. For items needing a bigger or sturdier container, including some specialty items, you can choose from a wide range of packaging supplies.
- UPS Express Boxes in small, medium, large and mini sizes. These sturdy boxes are suitable for a wide range of items.
- UPS Express Pak. This moisture- and tear-resistant envelope is flexible enough to accommodate large reports or oversize printouts.
- UPS Pad Pak and UPS Express Hard Pak. Choose a pak lined with bubble wrap when you need extra cushioning, or a tough corrugated pak to protect items such as hard drives.
- UPS Express Tube. If you're shipping rolled-up documents like posters or blueprints, this is the perfect packaging.
- Security boxes in small and medium sizes. These sturdy corrugated boxes feature an inner liner and dual-locking closure for extra security.
- Laboratory paks and boxes. Available in several sizes and varieties, these packaging supplies are specially designed for shipping biological, category B, and exempt human and animal substances.
Labels and stickers. We offer simple ordering of shipping supplies for efficient label creation, as well as stickers required for certain shipment types.
- Thermal labels. These labels, which are configured for use with a compatible thermal printer, come in fan fold, perforated and roll form.
- UPS WorldShip® peel-and-stick labels. These enable UPS WorldShip users to print address labels on a laser printer.
- Dry ice sticker for medical shipments. This sticker includes a space to enter the weight of the dry ice included.
- Tire label. When shipping tires, this label is essential to ensure proper handling and identification.
- Over 70 pounds label. This label alerts UPS employees that your package is heavier and ensures it gets proper handling.
- Saturday delivery sticker. This helps identify packages that are slated for delivery on a Saturday.
Pouches. For packaging supplies such as corrugated boxes that don't have their own pouch, and for printed labels that don't self-adhere to packages, pouches are a vital shipping supply.
- Address pouch. These transparent pouches hold and protect paper address labels. They can be affixed to packages for both UPS Express and UPS Ground parcels.
- International air waybill pouch. Specifically designed to hold the necessary documentation for international shipments, these clear pouches enable couriers and customs agents to easily inspect documents, facilitating customs clearance and delivery.
Benefits of Free Shipping Supplies
Using the right size packaging supplies for your shipment's contents not only protects your package but also helps you get the best rate for your delivery. Being able to reorder UPS supplies for free enables you to keep a wide variety of packaging on hand, which makes it easier to pack smarter.
Reusing boxes is discouraged because their integrity might be affected from earlier journeys. With free shipping supplies, making the decision to use a new shipping container every time is painless, because it doesn't hit your bottom line and ensures optimal protection for your shipment.
