Why book through a UPS agent

• The agent's discounted price is far below the official tariff offered to walk-in customers.
• The agent prepares the paperwork most individuals are unfamiliar with and handles the whole booking, so the customer never has to learn the export process.

UPS blue vs. UPS red

UPS priced two service families: UPS blue (blue label) was cheaper but slower; UPS red (red label) cost more but delivered reliably in under 3 days. Customers chose according to urgency.

Worked example

20 cartons of jerseys, total volume 3 cubic meters, total weight 500 kg, factory in Chang'an Town, Dongguan, delivery to Liverpool. Volumetric weight on this lane: 1 cubic meter = 200 kg, so 3 m³ → 600 kg chargeable. Using the UPS red service tier for 500–999 kg (RMB 139/kg): 600 kg × RMB 139 = RMB 83,400. The official UPS tariff for the same shipment would run to roughly three times that figure.
