Private Parcel Service indicia are created by companies such as UPS to indicate prepayment of delivery charges.

Sub-group PPS-A: Indicia from UPS (United Parcel Service)

(MSSB 98 (1965)) "United Parcel Service was founded in Seattle, Washington in 1907 . Today, UPS operates a common carrier service In all or parts of 29 states plus the District of Columbia . Intrastate and interstate service is offered by UPS over broad areas.

"UPS picks up and delivers packages up to 50 pounds in weight and up to 108 inches in length and girth combined . in all areas it is authorized to serve, UPS provides complete coverage . It will pick up at any point and deliver to any point.

"Note : What you refer to as "meters" we designate as UPS Parcel Registers. Also, what you term as "meter stamps" we call UPS Parcel Register Tapes.

"Shipper number designations and district prefixes are assigned by the Systems Department in New York.

"Large shippers are not required to use UPS Parcel Registers . However, use of one is considered a big timesaver for a shipper sending approximately 100 or more parcels a week.

"Customers using UPS Parcel Registers are billed weekly according to the readings taken from the registers . The customer reads the Parcel Register daily . Inc UPS driver checks the reading.

"Pitney-Bowes and Postaiia parcel registers are rented to the customers. NCR parcel registers can be purchased . The base portion of the register is bought by the customer . UPS and the manufacturer both hold keys for the parcel registers ."

Note on indicia prints, similar to postage meters, parcel indicia can be said to be composed of up to 3 parts, the indicium itself, potential info in what would be the slug slot on a postage meter, and customer identification and routing information in what would be the slogan/ad slot on a postage meter.

There is much variety, way beyond that of indicium, on these items, "with many subvarieties".
