"July 26, 2007: UPS Driver Chris Tarantino wears Brown for the last time"
Does not seem notable in any way shape or form, no rationale given for including this 'factoid'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ph0t0phobic ( talk • contribs) 15:20, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
In most ways, UPS is considered by many users to be superior to the federal postal system...

I think that the Facts and Statisics setion is very similar, if not the same as a trivia section, which would be discouraged under Wikipedia guidelines and that the information in that section should be integrated into the rest of the article. Does anyone agree or disagree? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.251.249.207 ( talk) 01:00, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

This article has some tone issues. It essentially reads like an extended press release. There are phrases like "UPS, as the worlds largest package delivery company with 94,500 vehicles in operation, faces extraordinary environmental challenges" and one that says the company is most generous giver to federal political campaigns. -- Jtalledo (talk) 13:14, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
The original tagger didn't add anything on the discussion page that says why he feels the page violates NPOV criteria. Since the NPOV tag "means that there is an ongoing dispute about whether the article complies with a neutral point of view or not" and there has been no discussion since the tag was added in August, that indicates to me that there's consensus that the article doesn't violate NPOV. With regard to the advert tag, I don't see anything in the article that jumps out at me as "UPS is great - oh my goodness what a fantastic company." It looks like a pretty straight description of the organization. CruiserBob ( talk) 19:08, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
Worldport, the UPS worldwide air hub in Louisville, KY, has its own fairly concise Wikipedia page( [1]). Worldport is crucial to our operations, more so than some of the other information that already appears on the page, and I think there should be a brief explanation and link to that entry somewhere in the UPS entry. It could be helpful either in the introductory paragraph or under Company Structure. Here’s one possible place for it:
UPS also operates its own airline (IATA: 5X, ICAO: UPS, and Callsign: UPS ) based in Louisville, Kentucky (edit: where its Worldport hub( [2]) also resides).”

there should be mention of the new Carbon neutral shipments offered while i feel this is just greenwashing it doesnnt keep it from being notable but i know i cant write it without being POV because i am pissed at them as well as thinking of it as a greenwwashing.-- 209.181.16.93 ( talk) 20:43, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
I don't really understand why there was a picture of a small car accident in the article when it wasn't discussed. Seemed random, car accidents happen all the time.-- WhereAmI ( talk) 00:53, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
I added the picture as its shows a variant of the vans that they use. No other vehicle was involved & the van simply hit a traffic light. Please do not remove it again & i think it would be nice if you could message me with any concerns instead of just removing my images. Thanks-- Jenkinslane ( talk • contribs) 23:18, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
They are actually different types of vans ie not the same.-- Jenkinslane ( talk • contribs) 23:34, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
Under the competitors section, DHL Express should probably be listed too, and linked to that page. Sorry don't know how to do that yet. 68.175.59.239 ( talk) 01:51, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

===UPS Airlines===
From the launch of UPS Airlines in 1988 to today, UPS has had two color schemes for its aircraft fleet. The first was introduced in 1988 and is still seen on some of their aircraft today as the new design is phased in. It consisted of a mostly white fuselage. A brown stripe was located on the window line (or where it would have been on its Boeing 757 and 767 freighters). The words United Parcel Service were located above the stripe on the front half of the fuselage. On the 747 aircraft, the United Parcel Service letters were much larger and were located further back. A brown vertical stabilizer featured the then-current UPS shield. Today's color scheme was introduced alongside the new brandmark design in 2003. The brown stripe was phased out to be replaced by an arching design over the wing coming to a point on the top of the fuselage. This brown segment was trimmed by a gold outline; this is the same color gold as on the new shield. Replacing the company name on the fuselage is, in black: "Worldwide Services", with the words "synchronizing the world of commerce" underneath. The redesigned logo is featured on a brown vertical stabilizer. |
Why does this page link to a webpage that offers out-of-date, incorrect info on Postal/Fed Ex/UPS holidays? (External links: U.S. Mail holidays – UPS holidays – FedEx holidays – Internet Accuracy Project) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Biographylibrary ( talk • contribs) 20:16, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
"During Christmas 2013, a small percentage of United Parcel Service customers (as well as FedEx customers) experienced delays as a result of unprecedented last-minute online holiday sales. United Parcel Service did not deliver on Christmas Day, but Sorters worked Christmas afternoon and evening to load planes. Most affected shipments were delayed by one day. [11]"

I just reworded the paragraphs referring to UPS Mail Innovations and UPS SurePost to clarify that they are separate UPS products & operations. The two are commonly confused, especially in comparison to FedEx SmartPost (whose name is similar to SurePost but operationally is more like Mail Innovations). In fact, Mail Innovations & SurePost have little in common beyond (a) the UPS brand, (b) tracking through the UPS website (Mail Innovations also has its own website), and (c) USPS final-mile delivery. I'm detailing the differences here for clarity without overburdening the main article with both text & formal references:
