UPS is hiring 100,000 seasonal employees across hundreds of locations nationwide as it enters the 2026 holiday shipping season, the company announced. The Atlanta-based carrier said it expects to deliver more than 4 billion RFID-enabled packages by the end of 2026, using its RFID-powered tracking technology to provide more precise, real-time tracking information. UPS is also expanding its package protection offerings, including a new Protected Delivery service that requires recipients to provide a PIN to the driver before a package is released, aimed at high-value and sensitive shipments. Matt Guffey, Executive Vice President and Chief U.S. Domestic Officer, said UPS has delivered industry-leading service for eight consecutive peak seasons and is ready to do it again. The company cited new or enhanced automated facilities in Denver, St. Paul, Syracuse and Portland, greater pickup visibility, simplified returns through Happy Returns, and same-day and big-and-bulky delivery via Roadie. UPS reported 2025 revenue of $88.7 billion and approximately 460,000 employees.
