UPS is a package delivery company with brown trucks that you may have seen driving around your neighborhood. It also operates airplanes, vans, and other delivery vehicles that also use its brown and gold color scheme. If you want it to deliver a package for you, you can drop off the package at one of its stores. These UPS stores also serve as secure locations where you can pick up packages that have been shipped to you. You can pick up mail at these stores as well.
UPS can also deliver packages to your house and you can also drop off letters at its mailboxes but you still might want to visit its stores because they provide a few additional services. For example, UPS stores provide notary services. You can also go there to print documents if you’re traveling or don’t have a printer at home. You can also send faxes at one of these stores. And you can buy supplies such as printer ink and cardboard boxes at a UPS store as well. Here are the payment methods you can use at UPS stores.
Does UPS Accept Major Credit Cards?
UPS accepts Mastercard, Visa, American Express, and Discover cards. It accepts both debit cards and credit cards.
Some UPS stores also accept cash, but UPS doesn’t accept cash at its delivery hubs and its delivery drivers don’t accept cash either. You can use checks or money orders to pay for deliveries from UPS, though.
Does UPS Accept Mobile Payment Methods?
UPS stores accept Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, and other contactless payment methods for in-store purchases.
UPS also has mobile apps for iPhones and Android phones that help you estimate delivery costs. You can also use these apps to track in-progress deliveries. This delivery service also accepts PayPal for online payments.
Does UPS Accept International Payment Methods?
It’s likely that UPS can accept JCB, UnionPay, and RuPay global cards by processing them through the Discover network since it accepts Discover cards.
Does UPS Accept Buy Now, Pay Later?
UPS doesn’t accept Zip, Afterpay, Klarna, Affirm, or Sezzle. It does accept PayPal so it’s likely that you can use PayPal credit to pay for a package delivery there.
Does UPS Accept Any Other Payment Methods?
You can use the UPS apps to create a bar code that can be scanned at an UPS store. Then you can pay for your delivery at the UPS store when you drop off the package and you don’t need to print a label with payment information and attach it to your package.
What’s Another Useful Fact About UPS?
Third-party stores, such as drugstores and hardware stores, can also serve as pickup locations for UPS deliveries. So if there isn’t a UPS store in your area, these stores also provide secure places to store your package if you can’t pick it up immediately.
