UPS Capital Jeweller's Elite Program to expand over three more US cities

UPS Capital Corporation has recently announced its plans to expand its Jeweller’s Elite Program to additional US areas including San Francisco, Philadelphia and Providence. UPS Capital Corporation is a business unit of UPS which has been specifically designed to help assist jewellers in protecting their high value shipments. The service offers its customers time and cost savings by combining UPS shipping with insurance offered through its partner, UPS Capital Insurance Agency, Inc.

A customer of UPS Capital Jeweller’s Elite Program, and president of Accuratime, a LA based international watch seller and manufacturer of luxury watches, Adam Krief, has commented: “We’ve worked with other shipping companies that provided insurance solutions, but because of their limitations, we had to separate shipments into smaller value amounts, leading to more paperwork, logistics and time. This program made sense for us and for our customers, and it has also reduced the amount of time filing claims.”

UPS’s Vice President of Marketing, Dave Zamsky, has described the expansion as “a natural stepping stone” for the company, and goes on to say: “Philadelphia’s Jeweller’s Row is located in the Centre City section and has more than 300 jewellery retailers, wholesalers, and craftsmen…and Providence has been a major centre for jewellery manufacturing since the founding of the American Jewellry industry in Providence back in 1798.”

Please refer to our list of dangerous, hazardous and prohibited items for more information regarding what high value items we are able to send through our network at Transglobal Express. Generally speaking, we are only able to ship jewellery of a value no higher than £50.00, and watches of a value no higher than £250.00.
