What does the UPS letter mean? ›

It can be a letter, envelope, or small package that is sent domestically or internationally. UPS letters are typically used for urgent or time-sensitive documents that require fast and reliable delivery.

UPS Express Box Small : Select for smaller shipments, such as books and tapes. The box's dimensions are 13" x 11" x 2". Use the box for Next Day Air® Early, Next Day Air, Next Day Air Saver, 2nd Day Air, Worldwide Express and Worldwide Express Plus services.

Only same-sized boxes may be strapped together. Use a minimum of four crisscrossed bands, two in each direction. An address label must be placed on each box.

For shipments traveling shorter distances, Zones 1-4, and weighing less than 20 lbs, using your own packaging for weight-based rates may be a better value. Across all zones, though, shipments weighing over 25 lbs will ship for less in a Flat Rate Large Box.
