How to Send a UPS Domestic Package

Summary: Find out how to send a UPS domestic package through UCSD Mail Services and charge the cost to your department index.

In the right place? If your UPS package weighs over 30 pounds, contains hazardous material, or contains items other than documents bound for a foreign destination, do not follow these instructions. UCSD Shipping must process the package.

What to do

How to do it

Decide which UPS delivery service you want.

Consider your insurance needs.

For an additional charge, you can insure your UPS package. In Step 5, list a declared value.
