UPS SurePost is an economy, residential, ground service that combines the consistency and reliability of UPS Ground with final delivery typically provided by the U.S. Postal Service. It is a hybrid UPS/USPS option that is ideal for any business in need of reliable, economic, direct-to-consumer shipments. The total dimensions of packages cannot exceed 130 inches if you select SurePost, and the weight limit is less than 1 lb or 1 lb or greater or 108 inches if SurePost Bound Printed Matter or SurePost Media is used.

UPS SurePost is a cost-effective shipping solution for non-urgent deliveries. It affords significant logistic savings over UPS ground services by eliminating some standard accessorial fees. However, it typically takes one or two days longer than UPS Ground shipping, and UPS claims that SurePost packages take anywhere from two to seven days until final delivery by USPS.

UPS SurePost rates vary depending on the weight and size of the package, and there are additional UPS SurePost charges and rates that apply to packages that meet certain criteria. Deliveries are covered up to $100 up to the point of transfer to USPS for the final mile delivery, but the UPS Service Guarantee is not available on UPS SurePost deliveries.

In summary, UPS SurePost is a hybrid shipping option that combines the consistency and reliability of UPS Ground with final delivery typically provided by the U.S. Postal Service. It is a cost-effective shipping solution for non-urgent deliveries that affords significant logistic savings over UPS ground services. However, it typically takes longer than UPS Ground shipping, and the liability coverage is limited to $100.
