UPS Mail Innovations is a shipping consolidation and logistics service used by retailers across the country to help facilitate the movement of bulk orders out of their warehouse locations and to local post offices for the final mile delivery. It is a joint venture between UPS and the United States Postal Service (USPS) that combines the reliability of the UPS Ground network with last-mile delivery normally provided by the USPS. The service handles the pickup, processing, and interim transportation of packages or documents, then hands off the final delivery to the USPS for completion.

UPS Mail Innovations is best for smaller and lighter shipments that weigh less than one pound. The national network of processing facilities can process and transport domestic mail to its point of induction within 24-48 hours of pickup, and UPS Mail Innovations achieve transit times comparable to USPS First Class plus one day. The cost for these packages varies depending on the size and weight of the package, the distance it needs to travel, and the type of service chosen.

Some benefits of using UPS Mail Innovations include its flexibility, adaptability, and lower cost compared to USPS directly. Retailers use Mail Innovations to help streamline the movement of bulk orders out of their warehouse locations and to local post offices for the final mile delivery. The service is specifically designed for small to midsized businesses that move a lot of merchandise in flat or lightweight shipping packages.
