UPS has entered the flat-rate pricing battle with the United States Postal Service and FedEx.
United Parcel Service Inc. (NYSE: UPS) debuted a new “predictable flat rate shipping option” dubbed UPS Simple Rate, that gives small- and medium-sized business customers a national flat rate that cuts the limitations of its rivals.
The new service lets small businesses ship by second- or third-day air or ground services to anywhere in the U.S. for a flat rate — split into five tiered sizes. Customers don’t need to enter package weight and, unlike rival FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX), doesn’t involve shipping zones and allows customers to use their own boxes.
The Southside package distribution center could open by the 2020 holidays.

The project is a significant step toward the package delivery company’s intention to open a $50 million Southside distribution center by the holidays of 2020.
