UPS Saturday Pickup 2026: Stop Charges, Air Processing & Alternatives

2026 UPS rate: Saturday Pickup uses a Saturday Stop Charge on top of your weekly pickup fee. Scheduled Pickup is $12.00 per stop, UPS Smart Pickup is $8.00 per stop, and UPS On-Call Pickup is $6.95 per stop (plus the regular on-call fee). Eligible Saturday air packages also incur a $16.00 Saturday Air Processing Fee, and Saturday international shipments incur a $16.00 Saturday Export Processing Fee.

Quick answer: UPS Saturday Pickup is the accessorial service that gets a UPS driver to your location on a Saturday to collect outbound packages. It's priced as a Saturday Stop Charge added to your existing pickup plan — $12.00 per stop on Scheduled Pickup, $8.00 on Smart Pickup, or $6.95 on On-Call Pickup — and the Stop Charge is per pickup event, not per package. Air and international packages picked up Saturday carry an additional $16.00 Saturday Air or Saturday Export Processing Fee because UPS has to run a special Saturday induction through its air network to move them the next business day.
