UPS same-day exports come with guarantee

United Parcel Service (UPS), the world's largest package distribution company, serves 200 countries and territories. UPS started business in the U.S. 91 years ago and began expansion worldwide in 1975, winning numerous industry honors since.

In Indonesia, UPS' joint venture with Cardig Air, PT Cardig Citra Primajasa, has its head office at Halim Perdanakusuma Airport, Jakarta.

The success of UPS' worldwide expansion can be attributed to technological advancements and the development of guaranteed tracking systems in the industry, including through the Internet.

PT Cardig Citra Primajasa's President Director Jeff Fairbain said: "We believe UPS is at the forefront in this area." The UPS web site -- www/ups.co -- provides information on shipping packages worldwide and tracking a package from dispatch to delivery.

Express services are fully backed by the UPS Service Guarantee. UPS recently reviewed its distribution network so that Indonesian companies can call as late as 7 p.m. on weekdays and get next morning delivery to Singapore, next day to most of Asia and second-day 10:30 a.m. delivery to any address in the U.S.

"Why don't you start looking at how to do business in a tough economy, then look at your cash flows and getting your product to your customer?" Fairbain said. "We believe UPS can assist with the latest pick-up time and earliest deliveries to many destinations, all with a money-back guarantee."

UPS is quoted as having from 12 percent to 18 percent of package deliveries in the Indonesian marketplace, but it is aiming to increase its share through service and value for money.

"We are always looking at improving our levels of service and we are here for the long haul," Fairbain said. "Although the present economic conditions in Indonesia are tough and the competition is tight, we want to be considered a premium alternative in this market place."
