Declared Value

For each shipment with a declared value over US$100.00 (or local currency equivalent), you can purchase insurance against loss or damage.

Carbon Offset

UPS calculates the CO2 emissions associated with the parcel transport and purchases carbon offsets to balance out the CO2 impact.

Delivery to the Recipient's Address Only

Except for your requests, the parcel may not be re-routed, re-directed, or delivered, to an alternate address other than the recipient's address.
