Every exporter in Switzerland can now benefit from a one day faster UPS Standard® service when shipping to Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, The Netherlands, Luxemburg, Slovenia and Poland. “While our fastest services will always be our suite of UPS express services¹, we have shaved a full day off our transit time in these areas for our most economical cross border service.” said Nando Cesarone, President, UPS Europe. “UPS has committed to invest $2 billion into its European network and infrastructure by 2019.
