2️⃣ UPS is investing $2 billion in international, healthcare and supply chain businesses
The ongoing investments began in 2024 and will continue through 2028, but UPS said it had not previously disclosed the total investment.

3️⃣ Why Post-Purchase Risk is Becoming a Bigger Retail Problem
Retailers are facing growing post-purchase risks as package losses, delivery exceptions, fraud, returns abuse, and chargebacks increasingly impact both revenue and customer trust, often across disconnected systems and teams. UPS Capital's Ashley Hillman says retailers can reduce these costs by unifying order and delivery data and using AI to identify risks earlier, automate responses, and make more targeted decisions that protect margins while improving the customer experience. http://spr.ly/6189BGHCS7
4️⃣ UPS Rolls Out Pickup Upgrades for Small Business Shippers
UPS launched a new pickup dashboard that allows shippers to schedule, manage and track pickups in one place, providing real-time visibility, notifications and greater certainty for customers, particularly SMBs with fluctuating shipping needs. As UPS President of Global Digital Channels Dave Hudson explained, the enhancement is designed to meet long-standing SMB demands for simplicity and control: “I need ease of use, I want control, I need some certainty, and I need to spend less time on shipping and more time running my business,” while also supporting UPS's strategy to grow higher-margin SMB volume. http://spr.ly/6180BGHCSC
