Unishippers Franchises Offer Customers Enhanced Service Portfolio with New UPS Relationship

In todays uncertain economy, the increased shipping value Unishippers franchises provide to local small and mid-size businesses is more important than ever. The Unishippers model provides them with the rates and service levels that are typically reserved for large corporations, and are far better than what businesses can obtain directly from the carrier. With the addition of UPS, franchise owners have more opportunity to grow their business by providing more attractive shipping solutions for all of their customers shipping needs.

Unishippers owners sell a complete portfolio of shipping solutions to businesses that already use shipping services, provide ongoing customer service and earn residual income from every shipment. With no inventory to manage, low overhead costs, and regular business hours, most Unishippers owners enjoy a lifestyle not common in the franchise world. And, since shipping is a relatively stable industry, franchise owners are less affected by economic fluctuations and can grow their book of business in practically any market conditions.

The relationship with UPS allows Unishippers franchise owners to provide their customers small and mid-size businesses with improved express and ground service options. Additionally, it enhances Unishippers wide-ranging carrier network that also includes Roadway, SAIA and over thirty other national and regional carriers. Unishippers franchise owners provide small and mid-size businesses with a full portfolio of lower-cost shipping solutions and attentive, flexible service thats not common in todays market. This agreement with UPS is further evidence of Unishippers commitment to ensuring that franchisees have the tools they need to continually improve services for their customers and to capitalize on growth opportunities regardless of economic conditions.

UPS has selected Unishippers as an authorized shipping reseller because of the personalized service and experience that our company and franchise owners have provided for over twenty years, saidUnishippers president Dan Lockwood. UPS delivers operational excellence, global reach and an expanded menu of express and ground services, and Unishippers delivers local, personal service and great rates. We believe this is the kind of benefit that keeps customers loyal and franchises strong.

Franchise owners like me, said Unishippers franchisee Janine Ahlstedt, are excited about what the addition of UPS brings to our already impressive lineup of carriers. Customers know and trust the UPS brand, and they will appreciate having access to their world-class system and delivery options while being backed by the Unishippers team.
