What All Can UPS Move?
UPS car shipping can move just about anything and that includes all kinds of vehicles such as
- Cars
- Trailers
- Trucks
- Buses
- Vans
- Tractors
The items that UPS can move can be of any size or shape and they can choose the ideal packaging for such items. Although their services are offered at nominal rates, you can lower it still by choosing to drop off and pick up the car from their stores rather than opting for door-to-door delivery.
Transportation Options
UPS auto transport offers all the usual transportation options such as air, land and sea transport.
- Land transport – when speed is not a criterion and you want a low bill, you can choose land transport. UPS offers closed vans which give your car's protection from the elements and you can be sure that your car will arrive at the destination in the same condition that it was shipped in.
- Sea transport – people mostly go in for sea transportation when the car has to be transported from one country to another. This is a cheaper choice than air freight and is a lot slower too. However, this is more common than air freight and there are thousands of people who choose ocean freight over air transport.
- Air transport- this is one of the safest means of transport but also the most expensive. There is international and domestic air freight available and UPS can drop off the car at almost any destination.
UPS Store Locations
You can find a UPS store conveniently located near you to help you ship packages across the country. They have experience working on high priced vehicles as well as more modest ones so you can trust them with your prized automobile. Crates and blanket wrap provide extra protection for your vehicle during transport, but they are not required. Due to the fact that most shops are privately owned, prices may vary depending on where you go.
Duties and Taxes
Your transportation charges will include duties and levies imposed by the US customs and if the destination is a foreign country, by the customs of that country as well. You can find information about US customs and taxes from www.cbp.gov or call (800) 782-7892 which is the UPS International Service Center.
Insurance
As the stores have different owners, prices may vary regarding insurance but they all have a declared value program. When you have to move big items such as automobiles, then you know that you will get the best insurance for it through the program.
