UPS pickups might also incur a Delivery Area Surcharge

1. Delivery Area Surcharges may apply to pickups: Depending on where you're located, you might need to pay a Delivery Area Surcharge on top of the cost of your UPS pickup. 
1. This occurs in certain instances, like if UPS considers your location "Extra Rural" or a "Remote Area." 
2. All costs displayed: No matter the surcharge that may apply, your total cost will be displayed when you're scheduling the pickup, so you won't find any surprise charges later.

Same-day pickups

1. Scheduling same-day UPS pickups: You can schedule a same-day UPS pickup on Labelife Ship. Same-day UPS pickups cost $6, but availability is subject to local conditions, cut-off times, and carrier routes. 
1. For instance, if you schedule a same-day pickup without enough lead time, your carrier might have completed their route already, and UPS may cancel the pickup instead of coming back for your package.
2. The earlier, the better: Generally speaking, the earlier you request your same-day pickup, the better off you'll be. 
1. If you request a same-day pickup before 12pm local time, there's a good chance UPS will make it happen that day. If you schedule it after 12pm, UPS might come to get your packages on the same day... but more likely, they'll push the pickup to the following business day. 
2. For this reason, UPS suggests requesting a same-day pickup immediately once you purchase your label(s)!

Saturday pickups

1. Saturday UPS pickups are available: If you need your packages picked up over the weekend, UPS also provides On-Call Pickups for Saturday 
2. You'll just need to pay a Saturday pickup surcharge per pickup location, along with the standard pickup fee. 

What to do if UPS doesn't show up

1. You must provide labels for pickups: When you schedule a pickup directly from UPS, they sometimes bring a label to you when they come to pick up your package(s). However, this ISN'T the case for any pickups you schedule on Labelife Ship. 
1. When you schedule a UPS pickup for labels you purchased on our platform, you'll always need to print your label and affix it to your packages. This is the only way UPS will accept your packages for pickup
   

You might see varying costs and surcharges

1. Pickup costs vary: Since UPS offers pickups for a fee and imposes surcharges based on the location of your Ship From Address, you may see some varying pickup costs in your Transaction History at the bottom of your.
1. This is because UPS applies these surcharges on top of the base fee they charge for "On Call" pickups.  
2. You can reference the list of UPS surcharges to see the different types of surcharges you may be subject to, depending on where you're located.
