United Parcel Service Inc. has broadened again its coverage area for early morning deliveries.
The Atlanta-based package shipping giant will add another 766 UPS Next Day Air Early A.M. Zips beginning July 21 after adding more than 400 five months earlier this year.
The Early A.M. service is the earliest morning delivery from UPS (NYSE: UPS), guaranteeing service to more than 87 percent of U.S. businesses.
Examples of industries that rely upon morning deliveries include health-care laboratories that want to receive specimens quickly to process patients’ test results faster; professional service companies, like legal and financial firms, that depend on urgent documents; manufacturers of parts that are needed for urgent repairs; and high tech companies that need to repair mobile devices rapidly so their customers don’t lose connectivity.
