I wonder whether UPS’s business really is mostly residential. The business side is invisible to me - it could be huge, I don’t know. Does anyone have data?

- the-dude 8y agoIt is huge. I consider UPS business orientation a plus : I know when they show up. Tracking is the best of the bunch. For example : Farnell ships with UPS. Farnell is a mostly B2B electronic components distributor. EU experience from good to bad : UPS, Fedex, DPD, TNT and then DHL which is the worst from a receivers perspective. edit: I should add, running a business from a residential location.
- abrowne 8y agoDHL's estimated times are laughable wrong in my experience. So much for supposed German efficiency.
- chx 8y agoThis is strange. In my experience, shipping Hungary to Canada works best with UPS or Fedex but from Canada to Hungary it's DHL or trouble. In general, to the entire EU I vastly prefer DHL.
- ac29 8y agoI couldn't find an exact number, but their 2017 10-K has the statement "Business-to-consumer shipments [represented] more than 50% of total U.S. Domestic Package volume". http://phx.corporate-ir.net/External.File?item=UGFyZW50SUQ9Njg5NjYzfENoaWxkSUQ9NDAxNzAyfFR5cGU9MQ==&t=1 http://phx.corporate-ir.net/External.File?item=UGFyZW50SUQ9N...
