5 Ways Unishippers Franchises Benefit from Our UPS Relationship

When it comes to succeeding in the logistics industry, who you partner with matters. That's why Unishippers franchises have a competitive edge — thanks to our long-standing and strategic relationship with UPS^®, one of the most trusted names in the shipping world.

As part of the nation's largest non-retail UPS^® Authorized Reseller, Unishippers offers franchise owners more than just access to top-tier shipping services — we offer a business model built for long-term success.

It's our expertise in small and mid-sized business (SMB) shipping, combined with UPS's operational excellence and vast delivery network, that provides unmatched value to our customers. This powerful synergy delivers unique advantages for franchisees — including enhanced credibility, broader service offerings and access to industry-leading logistics solutions. This kind of relationship is rare in the third-party logistics (3PL) space, especially with UPS, making it a unique differentiator in the market.

Want to learn more? Here are five ways Unishippers franchises benefit from our UPS relationship:

1. Association With a Leading Brand in the Shipping Industry

One of the biggest advantages of joining the Unishippers network is the immediate brand credibility that comes with being part of the largest non-retail UPS Authorized Reseller. UPS is a globally recognized logistics powerhouse, and being affiliated with such a trusted brand automatically boosts customer confidence.

Whether you're speaking to potential clients or networking within the logistics industry, the 15+ year Unishippers-UPS relationship gives your franchise instant authority. And here's why!

• Trusted Brand — As the most trusted shipping brand in the U.S., UPS leads the industry with 90% of ground parcels arriving in three days or less.
• One Unified Network — UPS simplifies shipping with a unified network, handling both air and ground shipments through UPS^® Drop Boxes, and using one driver for all pickups, making your shipping process easier.
• Global Reach — With approximately 180,000 entry points and nearly 135,000 vehicles, UPS supports your business wherever you are, delivering billions of packages yearly.

2. Access to a Comprehensive Range of UPS Services

Unishippers franchises benefit from a diverse portfolio of UPS services designed to meet the evolving needs of today's businesses. Whether customers need next-day air, ground delivery or international shipping, you'll be equipped to offer flexible, reliable options through our longstanding relationship with UPS.

Our wide range of UPS services includes domestic and international shipping, package tracking, insurance options and more — ensuring your customers have access to the tools they need to ship confidently and cost-effectively. It's this breadth of solutions that helps franchisees attract and retain clients in various industries and markets.

3. Competitive, Negotiated Shipping Rates

One of the most compelling benefits for Unishippers franchisees is access to discounted, negotiated rates with UPS. Thanks to our combined shipping volume across thousands of SMB customers and our relationship with UPS, we're able to secure pricing that individual businesses simply can't get on their own.

Franchise owners can pass these savings along to their customers — a significant competitive advantage when it comes to winning and keeping business. Lower shipping costs not only increase customer satisfaction but also strengthen your reputation as a value-driven logistics provider.

4. Access to a Reliable and Timely Delivery Network

In logistics, reliability is everything. UPS is known for its consistent, on-time delivery performance, which means that when your customers ship through you, they can count on timely and predictable service. That peace of mind translates into stronger customer relationships — and more repeat business.

By leveraging UPS's global delivery network, Unishippers franchises can confidently serve customers ranging from local small businesses to e-commerce retailers shipping internationally. The strength of the UPS delivery infrastructure becomes your strength — and a key selling point for your franchise.

5. Integration with Advanced Shipping Technology

Operational efficiency is essential for any logistics franchise, and our custom-built myUnishippers^® transportation management system (TMS) makes it easier than ever to manage shipping logistics, including UPS shipping. This powerful yet user-friendly platform allows our customers to:

• View real-time UPS rates
• Compare service options

With myUnishippers^® , franchisees streamline their operations and reduce manual work, making it easier to scale their business and deliver UPS solutions.
