The story of UPS, the world’s largest parcel delivery company, began more than a century ago with a $100 loan to start a modest courier service. The way they have evolved into a global billion-dollar corporation reflects the history of modern transportation, international trade, and financial and logistics services. Today, at UPS, the customer comes first, and the company is driven by people and innovation. The company is supported by over 495,000 employees connecting over 220 nations and territories by road, rail, air, and ocean. In the future, just as in the present times, UPS will continue to lead the industry and connect the world, being firmly committed to providing quality services and environmental sustainability.

One of the unique services offered by this company is fax sending. In today’s age, it is pretty difficult to locate a fax machine and UPS plays a significant role in providing these services as it is opened both day and night to facilitate the sending and receiving of messages.

How much do the UPS Fax services cost?

The cost of the UPS fax services depends on the distance and the number of pages. For example, you will have to pay around $1.55 for the first page if you need to send it locally and if you need to send more than 5 pages the cost will drop to $0.99 per page. On the other hand, for long distances, the cost for the first page is $2.5 and if you need to send additional pages you will have to pay $1.5 per page.

One of the main benefits of UPS Fax Services is that they keep your fax messages until you are able to pick them up. The services offered by UPS come in full packages with photocopying and scanning, so you will not have to use your own ink or toners. Regardless of the size of your message, you will not have to split it, because UPS stores allow their customers to scan large volumes of documents. Also, UPS offers a digital store of bitmap images that are ready for conversion to audio.

Competitors

When talking about mailing services and online faxing, Kinko stores are an important presence on the market. The prices charged by Kinko are pretty reasonable and affordable taking into consideration that you will have to pay around $1.5 per page. Some other companies that compete with UPS include Nextiva Fax Services and Ring Central Fax.

Important things to consider
