How UPS delivery times change on weekends

UPS Ground vs. other weekend delivery services
You don’t have to default to one carrier. ShipStation lets you compare UPS Saturday shipping with other carriers like USPS®, FedEx®, and DHL Express using the same order data. Use Rate Shopper to weigh cost and speed, then pick the option that fits the promise you made at checkout.
