r/UPS on Reddit: Does UPS charge a fee if I schedule a pick-up from my home?
May 10, 2020 -

I sold a 4lb household item online and need to ship the item to a buyer in another state. Due to the pandemic, I don't want to go to a UPS store to drop off the package.

In the past, I usually have my buyers purchase a USPS shipping label, and I do the USPS schedule-a-pickup option (where USPS comes and picks up my package straight from my front door). However, this time I I accidentally had the buyer purchase a UPS shipping label instead of a USPS shipping label.

My question is: Does UPS charge a fee for scheduling a pick-up from my home? I am looking at the "UPS On-Call Pickup" option, and the website information is unclear. If UPS does charge a fee, how much is it? And does the fee get charged to the shipper (me) or to the receiver (buyer)?

r/UPS on Reddit: How does the UPS heavy package pick-up fee work?
August 2, 2025 -

Title. I've got a box thats not quite big enough for freight, but weighs 90 lbs. UPS' website says you can be charged an additional handling fee for it when you do pickup, but doesnt go into detail about how much that is, unless I missed something. Is there some kind of fixed number, or do drivers just make up a number or something? I dont wanna get jumpscared by a huge fee and eat the cost, I'd be better off trying to get it to a UPS store at that point. :[

UPS does have a fixed fee structure for heavy packages no, the driver can’t just make up a number on the spot. Here’s how it works: • Additional Handling Surcharge (Weight-based): If your package is over 70 lbs, UPS applies an Additional Handling fee usually around $28.50 (as of 2025 rates, but it can vary slightly based on location/service). • Pickup Fee: If you request a pickup from your home, that’s an extra $6.80–$12.00 depending on how it’s scheduled (on-call vs. daily pickup, etc.). So, for a 90 lb package, expect around $28.50 extra for weight + the pickup fee. These fees show up in the shipping quote if you print the label through UPS.com. Drivers won’t charge you cash at the door the charges go on the shipment label. If you want to dodge the weight surcharge and have a UPS Store nearby, dropping it off there might be cheaper, but they may still hit you with the heavy package handling fee if you didn’t prepay online. tl;dr: No surprise fees at pickup just check your label and breakdown when purchasing shipping.

Go here: https://www.ups.com/us/en/support/shipping-support/shipping-costs-rates Then open the drop down for large package surcharge. Looking it over, and just based on the info you gave (weight) it looks like it would not qualify for a large package surcharge. It would likely qualify for an additional handling charge. Those rates are both listed here. The AHC charges are like $30-$50 or so while the LPS fees are $200+

r/UPS on Reddit: Does UPS charge $6.99 to change to in store pick up and then additional $5 at the time of pick up?
September 17, 2024 -

I went to UPS today to pick up a package that I changed to in store pick up. I showed my ID and then the employee said it’s a $5 fee. He then asked if I could pay cash. I remembered seeing that there would be a $6.99 fee for pick up when I redirected the package online, but I couldn’t remember if I paid it already. I gave him the money and then later checked my bank statement to see that I had already paid the pick up fee. Now, I know it’s only $5, but I want to know if this was a legit charge or something this individual store is trying to tack on.
