UPS expects to ship 89.1 million flowers for Valentine’s Day
Impressive numbers:
- UPS has added 63 additional flights for a total of 118, providing the necessary airlift for flowers traveling to the U.S. from South America.
- 90% of flower volume ships 2-3 days before Valentine’s Day.
- The extremely delicate and perishable flowers are temperature sensitive, and UPS has a cooler the size of five basketball courts in Miami to keep each stem beautiful.
- The pandemic has changed customer buying patterns to a model more reliant on ecommerce channels.
