UPS Ground Saver (formerly SurePost)®

UPS Ground Saver® services provide an economic solution for residential ground delivery.

UPS® Ground Saver can be used for Domestic Shipments to the 48 contiguous United States.

UPS SurePost® Updates

  • Starting April 2, 2025, UPS will replace the name SurePost® service with Ground Saver® as its economy product. This change will appear in all shipping, billing, pricing systems, and labels.

  • Also as of April 2, 2025, UPS has reduced Ground Saver's free Declared Value Coverage from $100 to $20. To make up the difference, you can purchase ParcelGuard on ShipEngine starting at $0.99 per $100 of insured value.

Before enabling this option in ShipEngine, you must first have a UPS account connected to ShipEngine. Please contact your UPS representative to ensure your contract allows SurePost® shipments.
