Can UPS be used for shipping 

[kensgiftshop]

Yes, you can use UPS.

[janet9988 · Accepted solution]

Yes.

Make sure you add it to your shipping details on the listing.

...and keep in mind that if it's fragile, there's a good chance it's gonna get trashed.  UPS is brutal.

[mordecai8614]

Yes, but you should familiarize yourself with their surcharges

@tarotfindsandmore ,

I don’t think the damage is caused by how UPS handles the packages. It is because UPS handles a lot more large heavy packages than USPS. It’s these large packages sometimes lands on the smaller packages that causes the damage. Especially when a seller doesn’t do a good job packing which is more common than not based on my purchasing experience on here over the years.

Well in the two years I worked for UPS as a sorter and bagger, I've seen employees throw, walk on, drop, and crush packages.  It's possible these things only happen at the hubs I worked in, but I also saw many, many packages arrive at the hubs where I worked with boot heel prints, crush marks from getting caught in belts, and completely torn open.  My comment is based on my experience as an employee, perhaps yours was different.

I absolutely loved working for UPS, but I would NEVER ship anything fragile with them.
