When it comes to shipping, most ecommerce businesses try to strike a balance between speed and cost. Customers want their products as fast as possible, but they also want affordable shipping rates \u2013 so somehow, brands must find a way to meet both expectations.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One way to lower costs on expedited shipping and next-day deliveries is with services like UPS Next Day Air Saver\u00ae. In this article, we\u2019ll dive deep into this popular shipping option, and answer common questions ecommerce brands have about it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is UPS Next Day Air Saver?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

UPS Next Day Air Saver is an expedited, overnight shipping<\/a> option that UPS offers. UPS Next Day Air Saver is different from UPS Next Day Air, as it provides next-day shipping at a slightly lower rate but guarantees delivery before end-of-day<\/a> (as opposed to Next Day Air\u2019s promise of 12:00 noon) the day after shipping.   <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is signature required on UPS Next Day Air Saver?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Unless you are shipping to a commercial address, a signature is not required to receive a UPS Next Day Air Saver package. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Where can UPS Next Day Air Saver ship?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

UPS Next Day Air Saver ships to the 48 contiguous states, plus certain areas in Alaska and Hawaii. However, it\u2019s not available in locations where UPS Next Day Air is committed only to an end-of-day delivery (rather than a morning delivery). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much does UPS Next Day Air Saver cost?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

UPS Next Day Air Saver<\/a> is cheaper than regular Next Day Air. In 2024, to ship a letter to the nearest shipping zone, it would cost $32.97 through regular next-day air, and $31.91 through UPS Next Day Air Saver.<\/p>\n\n\n

This savings seems small, but the farther the shipping zone and the larger the package, the more you\u2019ll save. For ecommerce businesses shipping a large volume of packages, using Next Day Air Saver can also generate significant savings. For example, if your brand ships 1,500 letter-sized packages in a month, shipping them all through Next Day Air would cost $49,455, while Next Day Air Saver would only cost $47,865 \u2013 a whopping $1,590 in savings.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other UPS Next Day Air service options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

UPS offers other next-day air delivery services, including regular UPS Next Day Air and UPS Next Day Air Early\u00ae. Each service option correlates to a specific guaranteed next-day delivery time. The earlier you want the package delivered, the more it will cost.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which of the delivery options will best suit a customer will depend on their shipping needs \u2013 in particular, what guaranteed delivery time they want and how much they are willing to spend. Here\u2019s a quick comparison:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can I offer affordable shipping to my customers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Next-day delivery always delights customers \u2013 but it can be expensive. To convert more customers without breaking the bank, it\u2019s important to find a way to make shipping affordable as well as fast.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brands rely on several strategies to minimise both shipping costs and speeds. These include:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
