UPS Offers Lifeline to Small Businesses With Holiday Shipping Discounts
UPS is stepping in to assist small businesses during the challenging holiday season and the complexities of international tariffs. The company has announced discounted shipping rates, along with a strategic partnership with American Express.
UPS CEO Carol Tomé recognised the struggles of small businesses due to tariffs during an earnings call in July. In response, UPS has introduced discounted shipping rates for small businesses in 2025, aiming to help them navigate industry volatility and shifting regulations.
The discounts, which increase with the volume of shipping, are part of a strategic collaboration with American Express. This partnership offers exclusive savings on UPS shipping options, including air, ground, and international freight, through the Business Savings Suite from American Express. The initiative is designed to support the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises and boost commerce in their communities, especially during the busy holiday season.
UPS has also recently introduced new international processing fees for packages shipped into the US, reflecting the dynamic nature of the industry. The company is attracting small business owners seeking alternative shipping options after changes to the de minimis exemption.
UPS is providing a lifeline to small businesses with discounted shipping rates until February 28, 2026. The partnership with American Express offers exclusive savings on various UPS shipping options, helping small businesses thrive during the holiday season and beyond.
