UPS Authorized Shipper Program
UPS was the first carrier in the US to create a program specifically to support the retail shipping network. The UPS Authorized Shipping Outlet (ASO) program allows retail shipping stores to offer the full line of UPS products and service to the general public.
ASO locations receive program-specific pricing and benefits and are required to offer all UPS products and service to their customers. ASOs are expected to represent the UPS brand in a professional manner and provide excellent service to all UPS customers.

PBC locations in good standing are automatically approved for Authorized Shipping Outlet (ASO) status, and for those locations that are already ASOs, they will benefit from even deeper discounts*!
The partnership between PBC and UPS has been two years in the making, and it has been over 15 years since UPS has formed an ASO alliance such as this. All PBC franchisee members will profit from the new benefits and opportunities this exciting and significant partnership brings.
