SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES	12 Months Ended
Dec. 31, 2012
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES	SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Financial Statements and Business Activities The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), and include the accounts of United Parcel Service, Inc., and all of its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively “UPS” or the “Company”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. UPS concentrates its operations in the field of transportation services, primarily domestic and international letter and package delivery. Through our Supply Chain & Freight subsidiaries, we are also a global provider of specialized transportation, logistics, and financial services. Use of Estimates The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingencies. Estimates have been prepared on the basis of the most current and best information, and actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Revenue Recognition U.S. Domestic and International Package Operations—Revenue is recognized upon delivery of a letter or package. Forwarding and Logistics—Freight forwarding revenue and the expense related to the transportation of freight are recognized at the time the services are performed. Material management and distribution revenue is recognized upon performance of the service provided. Customs brokerage revenue is recognized upon completing documents necessary for customs entry purposes. Freight—Revenue is recognized upon delivery of a less-than-truckload (“LTL”) or truckload (“TL”) shipment. We utilize independent contractors and third-party carriers in the performance of some transportation services. In situations where we act as principal party to the transaction, we recognize revenue on a gross basis; in circumstances where we act as an agent, we recognize revenue net of the cost of the purchased transportation. Financial Services—Income on loans and direct finance leases is recognized on the effective interest method. Accrual of interest income is suspended at the earlier of the time at which collection of an account becomes doubtful or the account becomes 90 days delinquent. Income on operating leases is recognized on the straight-line method over the terms of the underlying leases. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cash. We consider securities with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount of these securities approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. Investments Marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value, with related unrealized gains and losses reported, net of tax, as accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), a separate component of shareowners’ equity. The amortized cost of debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Such amortization and accretion is included in investment income, along with interest and dividends. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method; realized gains and losses resulting from such sales are included in investment income. We periodically review our investments for indications of other than temporary impairment considering many factors, including the extent and duration to which a security’s fair value has been less than its cost, overall economic and market conditions and the financial condition and specific prospects for the issuer. Impairment of investment securities results in a charge to income when a market decline below cost is other than temporary. Accounts Receivable Losses on accounts receivable are recognized when they are incurred, which requires us to make our best estimate of the probable losses inherent in our customer receivables at each balance sheet date. These estimates require consideration of historical loss experience, adjusted for current conditions, trends in customer payment frequency, and judgments about the probable effects of relevant observable data, including present economic conditions and the financial health of specific customers and market sectors. Our risk management process includes standards and policies for reviewing major account exposures and concentrations of risk. Our total allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $127 and $117 million, respectively. Our total provision for doubtful accounts charged to expense during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $155, $147 and $199 million, respectively. Inventories Jet fuel, diesel, and unleaded gasoline inventories are valued at the lower of average cost or market. Fuel and other materials and supplies inventories are recognized as inventory when purchased, and then charged to expense when used in our operations. Total inventories were $393 and $345 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and are included in “other current assets” on the consolidated balance sheet. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are as follows: Vehicles—6 to 15 years; Aircraft—12 to 30 years; Buildings—20 to 40 years; Leasehold Improvements—terms of leases; Plant Equipment—6 to 8.25 years; Technology Equipment—3 to 5 years. The costs of major airframe and engine overhauls, as well as routine maintenance and repairs, are charged to expense as incurred. Interest incurred during the construction period of certain property, plant and equipment is capitalized until the underlying assets are placed in service, at which time amortization of the capitalized interest begins, straight-line, over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Capitalized interest was $18, $17 and $18 million for 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively. We review long-lived assets for impairment when circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable based on the undiscounted future cash flows of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset is determined not to be recoverable, a write-down to fair value is recorded. Fair values are determined based on quoted market values, discounted cash flows, or external appraisals, as applicable. We review long-lived assets for impairment at the individual asset or the asset group level for which the lowest level of independent cash flows can be identified. Goodwill and Intangible Assets Costs of purchased businesses in excess of net identifiable assets acquired (goodwill), and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually, unless changes in circumstances indicate an impairment may have occurred sooner. We are required to test goodwill on a “reporting unit” basis. A reporting unit is the operating segment unless, for businesses within that operating segment, discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by management, in which case such a component business is the reporting unit. In assessing goodwill for impairment, we initially evaluate qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. We consider several factors, including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, changes in management, strategy or customers, and relevant reporting unit specific events such as a change in the carrying amount of net assets, a more-likely-than-not expectation of selling or disposing all, or a portion, of a reporting unit, and the testing for recoverability of a significant asset group within a reporting unit. If this qualitative assessment results in a conclusion that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value, then no further testing is performed for that reporting unit. If the qualitative assessment is not conclusive and it is necessary to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit, then we utilize a two-step process to test goodwill for impairment. First, a comparison of the fair value of the applicable reporting unit with the aggregate carrying value, including goodwill, is performed. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its calculated fair value, then the second step is performed, and an impairment charge is recognized for the amount, if any, by which the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. We primarily determine the fair value of our reporting units using a discounted cash flow model, and supplement this with observable valuation multiples for comparable companies, as applicable. Finite-lived intangible assets, including trademarks, licenses, patents, customer lists, non-compete agreements and franchise rights are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 2 to 20 years. Capitalized software is amortized over periods ranging from 3 to 5 years. Self-Insurance Accruals We self-insure costs associated with workers’ compensation claims, automotive liability, health and welfare, and general business liabilities, up to certain limits. Insurance reserves are established for estimates of the loss that we will ultimately incur on reported claims, as well as estimates of claims that have been incurred but not yet reported. Recorded balances are based on reserve levels, which incorporate historical loss experience and judgments about the present and expected levels of cost per claim. Pension and Postretirement Benefits We incur certain employment-related expenses associated with pension and postretirement medical benefits. These pension and postretirement medical benefit costs for company-sponsored benefit plans are calculated using various actuarial assumptions and methodologies, including discount rates, expected returns on plan assets, health care cost trend rates, inflation, compensation increase rates, mortality rates, and other factors. Actuarial assumptions are reviewed on an annual basis, unless circumstances require an interim remeasurement date for any of our plans. We recognize changes in the fair value of plan assets and net actuarial gains or losses in excess of a corridor (defined as 10% of the greater of the fair value of plan assets or the plans' projected benefit obligations) in pension expense annually at December 31st each year. The remaining components of pension expense, primarily service and interest costs and the expected return on plan assets, are recorded on a quarterly basis. We participate in a number of trustee-managed multiemployer pension and health and welfare plans for employees covered under collective bargaining agreements. Our contributions to these plans are determined in accordance with the respective collective bargaining agreements. We recognize expense for the contractually required contribution for each period, and we recognize a liability for any contributions due and unpaid (included in “other current liabilities”). Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for on an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, we generally consider all expected future events other than proposed changes in the tax law or rates. Valuation allowances are provided if it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. We recognize liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. Once it is determined that the position meets the recognition threshold, the second step requires us to estimate and measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. It is inherently difficult and subjective to estimate such amounts, as we have to determine the probability of various possible outcomes. We reevaluate these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis. This evaluation is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, effectively settled issues under audit, and new audit activity. Such a change in recognition or measurement could result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision. Foreign Currency Translation We translate the results of operations of our foreign subsidiaries using average exchange rates during each period, whereas balance sheet accounts are translated using exchange rates at the end of each period. Balance sheet currency translation adjustments are recorded in AOCI. Currency transaction gains and losses, net of hedging, included in other operating expenses were pre-tax gains (losses) of $10, $(1) and $7 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Stock-Based Compensation All share-based awards to employees are measured based on their fair values and expensed over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (the vesting period). We issue employee share-based awards under the UPS Incentive Compensation Plan that are subject to specific vesting conditions; generally, the awards cliff vest or vest ratably over a three or five year period, “the nominal vesting period,” or at the date the employee retires (as defined by the plan), if earlier. Compensation cost is recognized immediately for awards granted to retirement-eligible employees, or over the period from the grant date to the date retirement eligibility is achieved, if that is expected to occur during the nominal vesting period. Fair Value Measurements Our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis have been categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy. Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are based on other observable market data, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, such as interest rates and yield curves. Level 3 inputs are developed from unobservable data reflecting our own assumptions, and include situations where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability. Certain non-financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, including property, plant, and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets. These assets are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis; however, they are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of an impairment. A general description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, including the general classification of such assets and liabilities pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is included in each footnote with fair value measurements present. Derivative Instruments All financial derivative instruments are recorded on our consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Derivatives not designated as hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If a derivative is designated as a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in its fair value that are considered to be effective, as defined, either offset the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments through income, or are recorded in AOCI until the hedged item is recorded in income. Any portion of a change in a hedge’s fair value that is considered to be ineffective, or is excluded from the measurement of effectiveness, is recorded immediately in income. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an Accounting Standards Update to disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. These amendments, which became effective for us in the first quarter of 2012, result in a common definition of fair value and common measurement and disclosure requirements between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. Consequently, the amendments change some fair value measurement principles and disclosure requirements. The implementation of this amended accounting guidance had an immaterial impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations. In June 2011, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update that increases the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income in the financial statements. This update requires companies to present comprehensive income in a single statement below net income or in a separate statement of comprehensive income immediately following the income statement. This requirement became effective for us beginning with the first quarter of 2012, and we have included the required presentation in all applicable filings since that date. In July 2012, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update that added an optional qualitative assessment for determining whether an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. The objective of this update is to reduce the cost and complexity of performing an impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets by allowing an entity the option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of an intangible impairment to determine whether it should calculate the fair value of the asset. This accounting standards update also amends existing guidance by expanding upon the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider between annual impairment tests in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. We adopted this accounting standard update and applied its provisions to certain of our intangible assets for our annual impairment testing as of October 1, 2012. Other accounting pronouncements adopted during the periods covered by the consolidated financial statements had an immaterial impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations. Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective In February 2013, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that adds new disclosure requirements for items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. This update requires that companies present either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements, the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source (e.g., the release due to cash flow hedges from interest rate contracts) and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification (e.g., interest income or interest expense). If a component is not required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety (e.g., the net periodic pension cost), companies would instead cross reference to the related footnote for additional information (e.g., the pension footnote). This update is effective for us beginning in the first quarter of 2013. Other accounting pronouncements issued, but not effective until after December 31, 2012, are not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. Changes in Presentation Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on our financial position or results of operations.

CASH AND INVESTMENTS	CASH AND INVESTMENTS The following is a summary of marketable securities classified as available-for-sale at December 31, 2012 and 2011 (in millions):   Cost   Unrealized Gains   Unrealized Losses   Estimated Fair Value 2012               Current marketable securities:               U.S. government and agency debt securities $ 236   $ 2   $ —   $ 238 Mortgage and asset-backed debt securities 171   3   —   174 Corporate debt securities 158   5   —   163 U.S. state and local municipal debt securities 15   —   —   15 Other debt and equity securities 7   —   —   7 Total marketable securities $ 587   $ 10   $ —   $ 597                   Cost   Unrealized Gains   Unrealized Losses   Estimated Fair Value 2011               Current marketable securities:               U.S. government and agency debt securities $ 184   $ 3   $ —   $ 187 Mortgage and asset-backed debt securities 188   4   (1 )   191 Corporate debt securities 835   4   (2 )   837 U.S. state and local municipal debt securities 15   —   —   15 Other debt and equity securities 10   1   —   11 Total marketable securities $ 1,232   $ 12   $ (3 )   $ 1,241 The gross realized gains on sales of marketable securities totaled $15, $49 and $24 million in 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively. The gross realized losses totaled $6, $20 and $18 million in 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively. There were no impairment losses recognized on marketable securities during 2012 or 2011, while impairment losses totaled $21 million during 2010 (discussed further below). Investment Other-Than-Temporary Impairments We have concluded that no other-than-temporary impairment losses existed as of December 31, 2012. In making this determination, we considered the financial condition and prospects of the issuer, the magnitude of the losses compared with the investments’ cost, the probability that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the security, the credit rating of the security and our ability and intent to hold these investments until the anticipated recovery in market value occurs. During the second quarter of 2010, we recorded impairment losses on certain asset-backed auction rate securities. The impairment charge resulted from provisions that allow the issuers of the securities to subordinate our holdings to newly issued debt or to tender for the securities at less than their par value. These securities, which had a cost basis of $128 million, were written down to their fair value of $107 million as of June 30, 2010, as an other-than-temporary impairment. The $21 million total impairment charge during the second quarter was recorded as a loss in investment income on the statement of consolidated income. Maturity Information The amortized cost and estimated fair value of marketable securities at December 31, 2012, by contractual maturity, are shown below (in millions). Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because the issuers of the securities may have the right to prepay obligations without prepayment penalties.     Cost   Estimated Fair Value Due in one year or less $ 37   $ 37 Due after one year through three years 251   252 Due after three years through five years 49   49 Due after five years 248   257   585   595 Equity securities 2   2   $ 587   $ 597 Non-Current Investments and Restricted Cash Restricted cash and cash equivalents relate to our self-insurance requirements. We entered into an escrow agreement with an insurance carrier to guarantee our self-insurance obligations. This agreement requires us to provide cash collateral to the insurance carrier, which is reported in “Investments and Restricted Cash” on our consolidated balance sheets. Additional cash collateral provided is reflected in other investing activities in the statements of consolidated cash flows. This restricted cash is invested in money market funds and similar cash equivalent type assets. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, we had $288 and $286 million in restricted cash, respectively. We held a $19 and $17 million investment in a variable life insurance policy to fund benefits for the UPS Excess Coordinating Benefit Plan at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. This investment is classified as “Investments and Restricted Cash” in the consolidated balance sheets with the quarterly change in investment value recognized in investment income on the statements of consolidated income. Fair Value Measurements Marketable securities utilizing Level 1 inputs include active exchange-traded equity securities and equity index funds, and most U.S. Government debt securities, as these securities all have quoted prices in active markets. Marketable securities utilizing Level 2 inputs include non-auction rate asset-backed securities, corporate bonds and municipal bonds. These securities are valued using market corroborated pricing, matrix pricing or other models that utilize observable inputs such as yield curves. We maintain holdings in certain investment partnerships that are measured at fair value utilizing Level 3 inputs (classified as “other investments” in the tables below, and as “Other Non-Current Assets” in the consolidated balance sheets). These partnership holdings do not have quoted prices, nor can they be valued using inputs based on observable market data. These investments are valued internally using a discounted cash flow model with two significant inputs: (1) the after-tax cash flow projections for each partnership, and (2) a risk-adjusted discount rate consistent with the duration of the expected cash flows for each partnership. The weighted-average discount rates used to value these investments were 7.75% and 7.91% as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. These inputs and the resulting fair values are updated on a quarterly basis. The following table presents information about our investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized to determine such fair value (in millions).   Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)   Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)   Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)   Total 2012               Marketable securities:               U.S. government and agency debt securities $ 237   $ 1   $ —   $ 238 Mortgage and asset-backed debt securities —   174   —   174 Corporate debt securities —   163   —   163 U.S. state and local municipal debt securities —   15   —   15 Other debt and equity securities —   7   —   7 Total marketable securities 237   360   —   597 Other investments 19   —   163   182 Total $ 256   $ 360   $ 163   $ 779                   Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)   Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)   Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)   Total 2011               Marketable securities:               U.S. government and agency debt securities $ 187   $ —   $ —   $ 187 Mortgage and asset-backed debt securities —   191   —   191 Corporate debt securities —   837   —   837 U.S. state and local municipal debt securities —   15   —   15 Other debt and equity securities —   11   —   11 Total marketable securities 187   1,054   —   1,241 Other investments 17   —   217   234 Total $ 204   $ 1,054   $ 217   $ 1,475 The following table presents the changes in the above Level 3 instruments measured on a recurring basis for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 (in millions).     Marketable Securities   Other Investments   Total Balance on January 1, 2011 $ 138   $ 267   $ 405 Transfers into (out of) Level 3 —   —   — Net realized and unrealized gains (losses):           Included in earnings (in investment income) —   (50 )   (50 ) Included in accumulated other comprehensive income (pre-tax) —   —   — Purchases —   —   — Settlements (138 )   —   (138 ) Balance on December 31, 2011 $ —   $ 217   $ 217 Transfers into (out of) Level 3 —   —   — Net realized and unrealized gains (losses):           Included in earnings (in investment income) —   (54 )   (54 ) Included in accumulated other comprehensive income (pre-tax) —   —   — Purchases —   —   — Settlements —   —   — Balance on December 31, 2012 $ —   $ 163   $ 163

COMPANY-SPONSORED EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS	12 Months Ended
Dec. 31, 2012
Compensation and Retirement Disclosure [Abstract]
COMPANY-SPONSORED EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS	COMPANY-SPONSORED EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS We sponsor various retirement and pension plans, including defined benefit and defined contribution plans which cover our employees worldwide. U.S. Pension Benefits In the U.S. we maintain the following single-employer defined benefit pension plans: UPS Retirement Plan, UPS Pension Plan, UPS IBT Pension Plan and the UPS Excess Coordinating Benefit Plan, a non-qualified plan. The UPS Retirement Plan is noncontributory and includes substantially all eligible employees of participating domestic subsidiaries who are not members of a collective bargaining unit, as well as certain employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement. This plan generally provides for retirement benefits based on average compensation levels earned by employees prior to retirement. Benefits payable under this plan are subject to maximum compensation limits and the annual benefit limits for a tax qualified defined benefit plan as prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). The UPS Excess Coordinating Benefit Plan is a non-qualified plan that provides benefits to certain participants in the UPS Retirement Plan for amounts that exceed the benefit limits described above. The UPS Pension Plan is noncontributory and includes certain eligible employees of participating domestic subsidiaries and members of collective bargaining units that elect to participate in the plan. This plan generally provides for retirement benefits based on service credits earned by employees prior to retirement. The UPS IBT Pension Plan is noncontributory and includes employees that were previously members of the Central States, Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Fund (“Central States Pension Fund”), a multiemployer pension plan, in addition to other eligible employees who are covered under certain collective bargaining agreements. U.S. Postretirement Medical Benefits We also sponsor postretirement medical plans in the U.S. that provide health care benefits to our retirees who meet certain eligibility requirements and who are not otherwise covered by multiemployer plans. Generally, this includes employees with at least 10 years of service who have reached age 55 and employees who are eligible for postretirement medical benefits from a Company-sponsored plan pursuant to collective bargaining agreements. We have the right to modify or terminate certain of these plans. These benefits have been provided to certain retirees on a noncontributory basis; however, in many cases, retirees are required to contribute all or a portion of the total cost of the coverage. International Pension Benefits We also sponsor various defined benefit plans covering certain of our international employees. The majority of our international obligations are for defined benefit plans in Canada and the United Kingdom. In addition, many of our international employees are covered by government-sponsored retirement and pension plans. We are not directly responsible for providing benefits to participants of government-sponsored plans. Defined Contribution Plans We also sponsor several defined contribution plans for all employees not covered under collective bargaining agreements, and for certain employees covered under collective bargaining agreements. The Company matches, in shares of UPS common stock or cash, a portion of the participating employees’ contributions. In early 2009, we suspended the company matching contributions to the primary employee defined contribution plan. A revised program of company matching contributions was reinstated effective January 1, 2011. Matching contributions charged to expense were $83, $80 and $4 million for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Contributions are also made to defined contribution money purchase plans under certain collective bargaining agreements. Amounts charged to expense were $80, $76 and $78 million for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Net Periodic Benefit Cost Information about net periodic benefit cost for the company-sponsored pension and postretirement benefit plans is as follows (in millions):   U.S. Pension Benefits   U.S. Postretirement Medical Benefits   International Pension Benefits   2012   2011   2010   2012   2011   2010   2012   2011   2010 Net Periodic Cost:                                   Service cost $ 998   $ 870   $ 723   $ 89   $ 89   $ 86   $ 41   $ 34   $ 24 Interest cost 1,410   1,309   1,199   208   207   214   41   39   34 Expected return on assets (1,970 )   (1,835 )   (1,381 )   (18 )   (16 )   (22 )   (47 )   (43 )   (36 ) Amortization of:                                   Transition obligation —   —   —   —   —   —   —   —   — Prior service cost 173   171   172   5   7   4   2   1   1 Actuarial (gain) loss 4,388   736   70   374   —   —   69   91   42 Other —   —   —   —   —   —   (10 )   —   6 Net periodic benefit cost $ 4,999   $ 1,251   $ 783   $ 658   $ 287   $ 282   $ 96   $ 122   $ 71 Actuarial Assumptions The table below provides the weighted-average actuarial assumptions used to determine the net periodic benefit cost.   U.S. Pension Benefits   U.S. Postretirement Medical Benefits   International Pension Benefits   2012   2011   2010   2012   2011   2010   2012   2011   2010 Discount rate 5.64 %   5.98 %   6.58 %   5.47 %   5.77 %   6.43 %   4.63 %   5.36 %   5.84 % Rate of compensation increase 4.50 %   4.50 %   4.50 %   N/A   N/A   N/A   3.58 %   3.57 %   3.62 % Expected return on assets 8.75 %   8.75 %   8.75 %   8.75 %   8.75 %   8.75 %   7.20 %   7.31 %   7.25 % The table below provides the weighted-average actuarial assumptions used to determine the benefit obligations of our plans.   U.S. Pension Benefits   U.S. Postretirement Medical Benefits   International Pension Benefits   2012   2011   2012   2011   2012   2011 Discount rate 4.42 %   5.64 %   4.21 %   5.47 %   4.00 %   4.63 % Rate of compensation increase 4.16 %   4.50 %   N/A   N/A   3.03 %   3.58 % A discount rate is used to determine the present value of our future benefit obligations. To determine our discount rate for our U.S. pension and other postretirement benefit plans, we use a bond matching approach to select specific bonds that would satisfy our projected benefit payments. We believe the bond matching approach reflects the process we would employ to settle our pension and postretirement benefit obligations. For our international plans, the discount rate is determined by matching the expected cash flows of a sample plan of similar duration to a yield curve based on long-term, high quality fixed income debt instruments available as of the measurement date. For 2012, each basis point increase in the discount rate decreases the projected benefit obligation by approximately $57 million and $5 million for pension and postretirement medical benefits, respectively. These assumptions are updated each measurement date, which is typically annually. An assumption for expected return on plan assets is used to determine a component of net periodic benefit cost for the fiscal year. This assumption for our U.S. plans was developed using a long-term projection of returns for each asset class, and taking into consideration our target asset allocation. The expected return for each asset class is a function of passive, long-term capital market assumptions and excess returns generated from active management. The capital market assumptions used are provided by independent investment advisors, while excess return assumptions are supported by historical performance, fund mandates and investment expectations. In addition, we compare the expected return on asset assumption with the average historical rate of return these plans have been able to generate. For plans outside the U.S., consideration is given to local market expectations of long-term returns. Strategic asset allocations are determined by country, based on the nature of liabilities and considering the demographic composition of the plan participants. Health care cost trends are used to project future postretirement benefits payable from our plans. For year-end 2012 U.S. plan obligations, future postretirement medical benefit costs were forecasted assuming an initial annual increase of 7.5%, decreasing to 5.0% by the year 2018 and with consistent annual increases at those ultimate levels thereafter. Assumed health care cost trends can have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the U.S. postretirement medical plans. A one-percent change in assumed health care cost trend rates would have had the following effects on 2012 results (in millions):   1% Increase   1% Decrease Effect on total of service cost and interest cost $ 4   $ (4 ) Effect on postretirement benefit obligation $ 58   $ (69 ) Benefit Obligations and Fair Value of Plan Assets The following table provides a reconciliation of the changes in the plans’ benefit obligations and fair value of plan assets as of the respective measurement dates in each year (in millions).     U.S. Pension Benefits   U.S. Postretirement Medical Benefits   International Pension Benefits   2012   2011   2012   2011   2012   2011 Benefit Obligations:                       Projected benefit obligation at beginning of year $ 24,386   $ 21,342   $ 3,836   $ 3,597   $ 841   $ 680 Service cost 998   870   89   89   41   34 Interest cost 1,410   1,309   208   207   41   39 Gross benefits paid (774 )   (657 )   (233 )   (219 )   (20 )   (15 ) Plan participants’ contributions —   —   16   16   4   1 Plan amendments (2 )   3   1   (24 )   —   7 Actuarial (gain)/loss 5,850   1,519   495   170   112   99 Foreign currency exchange rate changes —   —   —   —   24   (4 ) Curtailments and settlements —   —   —   —   (5 )   — Other —   —   —   —   51   — Projected benefit obligation at end of year $ 31,868   $ 24,386   $ 4,412   $ 3,836   $ 1,089   $ 841                           U.S. Pension Benefits   U.S. Postretirement Medical Benefits   International Pension Benefits   2012   2011   2012   2011   2012   2011 Fair Value of Plan Assets:                       Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year $ 22,663   $ 20,092   $ 174   $ 233   $ 613   $ 561 Actual return on plan assets 2,684   1,956   19   9   56   10 Employer contributions 368   1,272   475   108   74   56 Plan participants’ contributions —   —   16   16   1   1 Gross benefits paid (774 )   (657 )   (233 )   (219 )   (20 )   (15 ) Foreign currency exchange rate changes —   —   —   —   20   — Curtailments and settlements —   —   —   —   (4 )   — Other —   —   9   27   61   — Fair value of plan assets at end of year $ 24,941   $ 22,663   $ 460   $ 174   $ 801   $ 613 Funded Status The following table discloses the funded status of our plans and the amounts recognized in our balance sheet as of December 31 (in millions):   U.S. Pension Benefits   U.S. Postretirement Medical Benefits   International Pension  Benefits   2012   2011   2012   2011   2012   2011 Funded Status:                       Fair value of plan assets $ 24,941   $ 22,663   $ 460   $ 174   $ 801   $ 613 Benefit obligation (31,868 )   (24,386 )   (4,412 )   (3,836 )   (1,089 )   (841 ) Funded status recognized at December 31 $ (6,927 )   $ (1,723 )   $ (3,952 )   $ (3,662 )   $ (288 )   $ (228 ) Funded Status Amounts Recognized in our Balance Sheet:                       Other non-current assets $ —   $ —   $ —   $ —   $ 26   $ 1 Other current liabilities (14 )   (13 )   (108 )   (93 )   (3 )   (3 ) Pension and postretirement benefit obligations (6,913 )   (1,710 )   (3,844 )   (3,569 )   (311 )   (226 ) Net liability at December 31 $ (6,927 )   $ (1,723 )   $ (3,952 )   $ (3,662 )   $ (288 )   $ (228 ) Amounts Recognized in AOCI:                       Unrecognized net prior service cost $ (1,318 )   $ (1,492 )   $ (79 )   $ (82 )   $ (13 )   $ (14 ) Unrecognized net actuarial loss (3,187 )   (2,439 )   (441 )   (307 )   (86 )   (52 ) Gross unrecognized cost at December 31 (4,505 )   (3,931 )   (520 )   (389 )   (99 )   (66 ) Deferred tax asset at December 31 1,694   1,479   196   146   26   16 Net unrecognized cost at December 31 $ (2,811 )   $ (2,452 )   $ (324 )   $ (243 )   $ (73 )   $ (50 ) The accumulated benefit obligation for our pension plans as of the measurement dates in 2012 and 2011 was $30.350 and $23.307 billion, respectively. Benefit payments under the pension plans include $16 and $14 million paid from employer assets in both 2012 and 2011. Benefit payments (net of participant contributions) under the postretirement medical benefit plans include $110 and $108 million paid from employer assets in 2012 and 2011, respectively. Such benefit payments from employer assets are also categorized as employer contributions. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the projected benefit obligation, the accumulated benefit obligation, and the fair value of plan assets for pension plans with benefit obligations in excess of plan assets were as follows (in millions):   Projected Benefit Obligation Exceeds the Fair Value of  Plan Assets   Accumulated Benefit Obligation Exceeds the Fair Value of  Plan Assets 2012   2011   2012   2011 U.S. Pension Benefits               Projected benefit obligation $ 31,868   $ 24,386   $ 31,868   $ 7,499 Accumulated benefit obligation 29,382   22,574   29,382   7,395 Fair value of plan assets 24,941   22,663   24,941   6,646 International Pension Benefits               Projected benefit obligation $ 1,028   $ 814   $ 678   $ 499 Accumulated benefit obligation 917   714   606   448 Fair value of plan assets 723   594   388   296 The accumulated postretirement benefit obligation exceeds plan assets for all of our U.S. postretirement medical benefit plans. Pension and Postretirement Plan Assets The applicable benefit plan committees establish investment guidelines and strategies, and regularly monitor the performance of the funds and portfolio managers. Our investment guidelines address the following items: governance, general investment beliefs and principles, investment objectives, specific investment goals, process for determining/maintaining the asset allocation policy, long-term asset allocation, rebalancing, investment restrictions/prohibited transactions, portfolio manager structure and diversification (which addresses limits on the amount of investments held by any one manager to minimize risk), portfolio manager selection criteria, plan evaluation, portfolio manager performance review and evaluation and risk management (including various measures used to evaluate risk tolerance). Our investment strategy with respect to pension assets is to invest the assets in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. The long-term primary objectives for our pension assets are to: (1) provide for a reasonable amount of long-term growth of capital, with prudent exposure to risk; and protect the assets from erosion of purchasing power; (2) provide investment results that meet or exceed the plans’ expected long-term rate of return; and (3) match the duration of the liabilities and assets of the plans to reduce the potential risk of large employer contributions being necessary in the future. The plans strive to meet these objectives by employing portfolio managers to actively manage assets within the guidelines and strategies set forth by the benefit plan committees. These managers are evaluated by comparing their performance to applicable benchmarks.

There were no UPS class A or B shares of common stock directly held in plan assets as of December 31, 2012 or December 31, 2011. Pension assets utilizing Level 1 inputs include fair values of equity investments, corporate debt instruments, and U.S. government securities that were determined by closing prices for those securities traded on national stock exchanges, while securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on the valuation date are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices. Level 2 assets include certain bonds that are valued based on yields currently available on comparable securities of other issues with similar credit ratings, mortgage-backed securities that are valued based on cash flow and yield models using acceptable modeling and pricing conventions, and certain investments that are pooled with other investments held by the trustee in a commingled employee benefit trust fund. The investments in the commingled funds are valued by taking the percentage owned by the respective plan in the underlying net asset value of the trust fund, which was determined in accordance with the paragraph above. Certain investments’ estimated fair value is based on unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by observable market data and are thus classified as Level 3. These investments include commingled funds comprised of corporate and government bonds, hedge funds, real estate investments and private equity funds. The commingled funds are valued using net asset values, adjusted, as appropriate, for investment fund specific inputs determined to be significant to the valuation. Investments in hedge funds are valued using reported net asset values as of December 31. These assets are primarily invested in a portfolio of diversified, direct investments and funds of hedge funds. Real estate investments and private equity funds are valued using fair values per the most recent partnership audited financial reports, adjusted as appropriate for any lag between the date of the financial reports and December 31. The real estate investments consist of U.S. and non-U.S. real estate investments and are broadly diversified. The fair values may, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuation for those alternative investments, differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the alternative investments existed, and the differences could be material. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, $2.960 and $3.895 billion of plan assets are held in commingled stock funds that hold U.S. and international public market securities. The plans held the right to liquidate positions in these commingled stock funds at any time, subject only to a brief notification period. No unfunded commitments existed with respect to these commingled stock funds at December 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the plans hold $2.455 and $2.302 billion of investments in limited partnership interests in various private equity and real estate funds. Limited provision exists for the redemption of these interests by the general partners that invest in these funds until the end of the term of the partnerships, typically ranging between 12 and 18 years from the date of inception. An active secondary market exists for similar partnership interests, although no particular value (discount or premium) can be guaranteed. At December 31, 2012, unfunded commitments to such limited partnerships totaling approximately $626 million are expected to be contributed over the remaining investment period, typically ranging between three and six years. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, $4.191 and $2.743 billion of plan investments are held in hedge funds that pursue multiple strategies to diversify risk and reduce volatility. Most of these funds allow redemptions either quarterly or semi-annually after a two to three month notice period, while other funds allow for redemption after only a brief notification period with no restriction on redemption frequency. No unfunded commitments existed with respect to these hedge funds as of December 31, 2012. The following tables presents the changes in the Level 3 instruments measured on a recurring basis for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 (in millions):     Corporate Bonds   Hedge Funds   Real Estate   Private Equity   Other   Total Balance on January 1, 2011 $ 193   $ 1,765   $ 789   $ 1,309   $ 258   $ 4,314 Actual Return on Assets:                       Assets Held at End of Year (14 )   69   144   145   53   397 Assets Sold During the Year 3   22   5   —   —   30 Purchases 57   457   150   164   300   1,128 Sales (159 )   (181 )   (140 )   (264 )   —   (744 ) Settlements —   —   —   —   —   — Transfers Into (Out of) Level 3 —   —   —   —   —   — Balance on December 31, 2011 $ 80   $ 2,132   $ 948   $ 1,354   $ 611   $ 5,125 Actual Return on Assets:                       Assets Held at End of Year 1   59   85   163   151   459 Assets Sold During the Year (3 )   5   4   —   —   6 Purchases 71   1,300   144   184   600   2,299 Sales (11 )   (667 )   (142 )   (285 )   —   (1,105 ) Settlements —   —   —   —   —   — Transfers Into (Out of) Level 3 —   —   —   —   —   — Balance on December 31, 2012 $ 138   $ 2,829   $ 1,039   $ 1,416   $ 1,362   $ 6,784 The fair value disclosures above have not been provided for our international pension benefit plans since asset allocations are determined and managed at the individual country level. In general, the asset allocations for these plans were approximately 56% in equity securities, 34% in debt securities and 10% in other securities in 2012 (approximately 55%, 35%, and 10% in 2011, respectively). The amount of assets having significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), if any, in these plans would be immaterial to our financial statements. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income The estimated amounts of prior service cost in AOCI expected to be amortized and recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost in 2013 are as follows (in millions):     U.S. Pension Benefits   U.S. Postretirement Medical Benefits   International Pension Benefits Prior service cost / (benefit) $ 172   $ 4   $ 2 Expected Cash Flows Information about expected cash flows for the pension and postretirement benefit plans is as follows (in millions):   U.S. Pension Benefits   U.S. Postretirement Medical Benefits   International Pension Benefits Employer Contributions:           2013 (expected) to plan trusts $ —   $ —   $ 76 2013 (expected) to plan participants 14   111   3 Expected Benefit Payments:           2013 $ 798   $ 255   $ 20 2014 887   237   22 2015 978   254   25 2016 1,076   271   27 2017 1,182   288   30 2018 - 2022 7,815   1,575   199 Our funding policy for U.S. plans is to contribute amounts annually that are at least equal to the amounts required by applicable laws and regulations, or to directly fund payments to plan participants, as applicable. International plans will be funded in accordance with local regulations. Additional discretionary contributions may be made when deemed appropriate to meet the long-term obligations of the plans. Expected benefit payments for pensions will be primarily paid from plan trusts. Expected benefit payments for postretirement medical benefits will be paid from plan trusts and corporate assets.

MULTIEMPLOYER EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS	12 Months Ended
Dec. 31, 2012
Multiemployer Plans [Abstract]
MULTIEMPLOYER EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS	MULTIEMPLOYER EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS We contribute to a number of multiemployer defined benefit plans under the terms of collective bargaining agreements that cover our union-represented employees. These plans generally provide for retirement, death and/or termination benefits for eligible employees within the applicable collective bargaining units, based on specific eligibility/participation requirements, vesting periods and benefit formulas. The risks of participating in these multiemployer plans are different from single-employer plans in the following aspects: • Assets contributed to the multiemployer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers. • If a participating employer stops contributing to the multiemployer plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers. • If we choose to stop participating in some of our multiemployer plans, we may be required to pay those plans an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan, referred to as a withdrawal liability. However, cessation of participation in a multiemployer plan and subsequent payment of any withdrawal liability is subject to the collective bargaining process. The discussion that follows sets forth the financial impact on our results of operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 from our participation in multiemployer benefit plans. Several factors could cause us to make significantly higher future contributions to these plans, including unfavorable investment performance, changes in demographics and increased benefits to participants. However, all surcharges are subject to the collective bargaining process. At this time, we are unable to determine the amount of additional future contributions, if any, or whether any material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity would result from our participation in these plans. The number of employees covered by our multiemployer plans has remained consistent over the past three years, and there have been no significant changes that affect the comparability of 2012, 2011 and 2010 contributions. We recognize expense for the contractually-required contribution for each period, and we recognize a liability for any contributions due and unpaid at the end of a reporting period. Multiemployer Pension Plans The following table outlines our participation in multiemployer pension plans for the periods ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, and sets forth our calendar year contributions into each plan. The “EIN/Pension Plan Number” column provides the Employer Identification Number (“EIN”) and the three-digit plan number. The most recent Pension Protection Act zone status available in 2012 and 2011 relates to the plans’ two most recent fiscal year-ends. The zone status is based on information that we received from the plans’ administrators and is certified by each plan’s actuary. Among other factors, plans certified in the red zone are generally less than 65% funded, plans certified in the orange zone are both less than 80% funded and have an accumulated funding deficiency or are expected to have a deficiency in any of the next six plan years, plans certified in the yellow zone are less than 80% funded, and plans certified in the green zone are at least 80% funded. The “FIP/RP Status Pending/Implemented” column indicates whether a financial improvement plan (“FIP”) for yellow/orange zone plans, or a rehabilitation plan (“RP”) for red zone plans, is either pending or has been implemented. As of December 31, 2012, all plans that have either a FIP or RP requirement have had the respective FIP or RP implemented. Our collectively-bargained contributions satisfy the requirements of all implemented FIPs and RPs and do not currently require the payment of any surcharges. In addition, minimum contributions outside of the agreed upon contractual rate are not required. For the plans detailed in the following table, the expiration date of the associated collective bargaining agreements is July 31, 2013, with the exception of the Automotive Industries Pension Plan and the IAM National Pension Fund / National Pension Plan which both have a July 31, 2014 expiration date. For all plans detailed in the following table, we provided more than 5% of the total plan contributions from all employers for 2012, 2011 and 2010 (as disclosed in the Form 5500 for each respective plan). Certain plans have been aggregated in the “All Other Multiemployer Pension Plans” line in the following table, as the contributions to each of these individual plans are not material.   EIN / Pension Plan   Pension Protection Act Zone Status   FIP/RP Status Pending/   (in millions) UPS Contributions   Surcharge Pension Fund Number   2012   2011   Implemented   2012   2011   2010   Imposed Alaska Teamster-Employer Pension Plan 92-6003463-024   Red   Red   Yes/Implemented   $ 4   $ 4   $ 3   No Automotive Industries Pension Plan 94-1133245-001   Red   Red   Yes/Implemented   4   4   4   No Central Pennsylvania Teamsters Defined Benefit Plan 23-6262789-001   Yellow   Green   Yes/Implemented   29   27   26   No Employer-Teamsters Local Nos. 175 & 505 Pension Trust Fund 55-6021850-001   Green   Green   No   9   8   8   No Hagerstown Motor Carriers and Teamsters Pension Fund 52-6045424-001   Red   Red   Yes/Implemented   5   5   4   No I.A.M.

The agreement reflects a decision by the New England Pension Fund's trustees to restructure the fund through plan amendments to utilize a "two pool approach", which effectively subdivides the plan assets and liabilities between two groups of beneficiaries. As part of this agreement, UPS agreed to withdraw from the original pool of the New England Pension Fund of which it had historically been a participant, and reenter the New England Pension Fund's newly-established pool as a new employer. Upon ratification of the agreement by the Teamsters in September 2012, we withdrew from the original pool of the New England Pension Fund and incurred an undiscounted withdrawal liability of $2.162 billion to be paid in equal monthly installments over 50 years. The undiscounted withdrawal liability was calculated by independent actuaries employed by the New England Pension Fund, in accordance with the governing plan documents and the applicable requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. During 2012, we recorded a charge to expense to establish an $896 million withdrawal liability on our consolidated balance sheet, which represents the present value of the $2.162 billion future payment obligation discounted at a 4.25% interest rate. This discount rate represents the estimated credit-adjusted market rate of interest at which we could obtain financing of a similar maturity and seniority. As this agreement is not a contribution to the plan, the amounts reflected in the previous table do not include this $896 million non-cash transaction. Multiemployer Health and Welfare Plans We also contribute to several multiemployer health and welfare plans that cover both active and retired employees. Health care benefits are provided to participants who meet certain eligibility requirements as covered under the applicable collective bargaining unit. The following table sets forth our calendar year plan contributions. Certain plans have been aggregated in the “All Other Multiemployer Health and Welfare Plans” line in the table, as the contributions to each of these individual plans are not material.     (in millions) UPS Contributions Health and Welfare Fund 2012   2011   2010 Bay Area Delivery Drivers $ 28   $ 27   $ 26 Central Pennsylvania Teamsters Health & Pension Fund 19   18   17 Central States, South East & South West Areas Health and Welfare Fund 471   452   441 Delta Health Systems—East Bay Drayage Drivers 24   17   15 Employer—Teamster Local Nos. 175 & 505 8   8   7 Joint Council #83 Health & Welfare Fund 25   25   25 Local 191 Teamsters Health Fund 9   9   9 Local 401 Teamsters Health & Welfare Fund 6   6   5 Local 804 Welfare Trust Fund 62   58   54 Milwaukee Drivers Pension Trust Fund—Milwaukee Drivers Health and Welfare Trust Fund 29   28   27 Montana Teamster Employers Trust 6   6   6 New York State Teamsters Health & Hospital Fund 44   41   40 North Coast Benefit Trust 7   7   7 Northern California General Teamsters (DELTA) 75   73   70 Northern New England Benefit Trust 33   32   31 Oregon / Teamster Employers Trust 27   27   25 Teamsters 170 Health & Welfare Fund 12   12   12 Teamsters Benefit Trust 32   29   27 Teamsters Local 251 Health & Insurance Plan 10   10   10 Teamsters Local 404 Health & Insurance Plan 6   6   6 Teamsters Local 638 Health Fund 29   28   27 Teamsters Local 639—Employers Health & Pension Trust Funds 22   22   21 Teamsters Local 671 Health Services & Insurance Plan 12   13   12 Teamsters Union 25 Health Services & Insurance Plan 36   34   33 Teamsters Union Local 677 Health Services & Insurance Plan 8   8   7 Truck Drivers and Helpers Local 355 Baltimore Area Health & Welfare Fund 13   12   12 Utah-Idaho Teamsters Security Fund 16   15   15 Washington Teamsters Welfare Trust 32   30   27 All Other Multiemployer Health and Welfare Plans 55   50   52 Total Contributions $ 1,156   $ 1,103   $ 1,066

BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS, GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS	12 Months Ended
Dec. 31, 2012
Business Combinations [Abstract]
BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS, GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS	BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS, GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS The following table indicates the allocation of goodwill by reportable segment (in millions):   U.S. Domestic Package   International Package   Supply Chain & Freight   Consolidated Balance on January 1, 2011 $ —   $ 377   $ 1,704   $ 2,081 Acquired —   —   46   46 Currency / Other —   (16 )   (10 )   (26 ) Balance on December 31, 2011 $ —   $ 361   $ 1,740   $ 2,101 Acquired —   67   —   67 Currency / Other —   2   3   5 Balance on December 31, 2012 $ —   $ 430   $ 1,743   $ 2,173 Business Acquisitions The increase in goodwill within the International Package segment in 2012 was due to the February acquisition of Kiala S.A. (“Kiala”), a Belgium-based developer of a platform that enables e-commerce retailers to offer their shoppers the option of having goods delivered to a convenient retail location. Kiala currently operates in Belgium, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Spain. The acquisition broadens our service portfolio for business-to-consumer deliveries. The increase in goodwill within the Supply Chain & Freight segment in 2011 was due to the December acquisition of the Pieffe Group (“Pieffe”), an Italian pharmaceutical logistics company. Pieffe offers storage, distribution and other logistics services to some of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented for these acquisitions, because the effects of these transactions were not material. The results of operations of these acquired companies have been included in our statements of consolidated income from the date of acquisition. The remaining change in goodwill for both the International Package and Supply Chain & Freight segments was due to the impact of changes in the value of the U.S. Dollar on the translation of non-U.S. Dollar goodwill balances. Goodwill Impairment We test our goodwill for impairment annually, as of October 1st, on a reporting unit basis. Our reporting units are comprised of the Europe, Asia, and Americas reporting units in the International Package reporting segment, and the Forwarding, Logistics, UPS Freight, MBE / The UPS Store, and UPS Capital reporting units in the Supply Chain & Freight reporting segment. In assessing our goodwill for impairment, we initially evaluate qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the qualitative assessment is not conclusive and it is necessary to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit, then we utilize a two-step process to test goodwill for impairment. First, a comparison of the fair value of the applicable reporting unit with the aggregate carrying value, including goodwill, is performed. We primarily determine the fair value of our reporting units using a discounted cash flow model, and supplement this with observable valuation multiples for comparable companies, as applicable. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, we perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of impairment loss. The second step includes comparing the implied fair value of the affected reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying value of that goodwill. We did not have any goodwill impairment charges in 2012, 2011 or 2010. Cumulatively, our Supply Chain & Freight reporting segment has recorded goodwill impairment charges of $622 million, while our International and U.S. Domestic Package segments have not recorded any impairment charges. Intangible Assets The following is a summary of intangible assets at December 31, 2012 and 2011 (in millions):   Gross Carrying Amount   Accumulated Amortization   Net Carrying Value   Weighted- Average Amortization Period (in years) December 31, 2012               Trademarks, licenses, patents, and other $ 163   $ (80 )   $ 83   5.5 Customer lists 131   (79 )   52   11.5 Franchise rights 117   (64 )   53   20.0 Capitalized software 2,197   (1,782 )   415   3.1 Total Intangible Assets, Net $ 2,608   $ (2,005 )   $ 603   4.4 December 31, 2011               Trademarks, licenses, patents, and other $ 146   $ (54 )   $ 92     Customer lists 120   (66 )   54     Franchise rights 109   (58 )   51     Capitalized software 2,014   (1,626 )   388     Total Intangible Assets, Net $ 2,389   $ (1,804 )   $ 585     Licenses with a carrying value of $5 million as of December 31, 2012 are deemed to be indefinite-lived intangibles, and therefore are not amortized. Impairment tests for indefinite-lived intangibles are performed on an annual basis. All of our other recorded intangible assets are deemed to be finite-lived intangibles, and are thus amortized over their estimated useful lives. Impairment tests for these intangible assets are only performed when a triggering event occurs that indicates that the carrying value of the intangible may not be recoverable. There were no impairments of any finite-lived or indefinite-lived intangible assets in 2012, 2011 or 2010. Amortization of intangible assets was $244, $228 and $224 million during 2012, 2011 or 2010, respectively. Expected amortization of finite-lived intangible assets recorded as of December 31, 2012 for the next five years is as follows (in millions): 2013—$252; 2014—$168; 2015—$94; 2016—$14; 2017—$13. Amortization expense in future periods will be affected by business acquisitions, software development, licensing agreements, sponsorships and other factors.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
DEBT AND FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS	DEBT AND FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS The following table sets forth the principal amount, maturity or range of maturities, as well as the carrying value of our debt obligations, as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 (in millions). The carrying value of these debt obligations can differ from the principal amount due to the impact of unamortized discounts or premiums and valuation adjustments resulting from interest rate swap hedging relationships.     Principal       Carrying Value   Amount   Maturity   2012   2011 Commercial paper $ —     $ —   $ — Fixed-rate senior notes:               4.50% senior notes 1,750   2013   1,751   1,778 3.875% senior notes 1,000   2014   1,033   1,050 1.125% senior notes 375   2017   373   — 5.50% senior notes 750   2018   851   841 5.125% senior notes 1,000   2019   1,140   1,119 3.125% senior notes 1,500   2021   1,655   1,641 2.45% senior notes 1,000   2022   996   — 6.20% senior notes 1,500   2038   1,480   1,480 4.875% senior notes 500   2040   489   489 3.625% senior notes 375   2042   367   — 8.375% Debentures:               8.375% debentures 424   2020   512   504 8.375% debentures 276   2030   284   284 Pound Sterling Notes:                    5.50% notes 107   2031   103   99      5.13% notes 734   2050   699   678 Floating rate senior notes 378   2049 – 2053   374   376 Capital lease obligations 440   2013 – 3004   440   469 Facility notes and bonds 320   2015 – 2036   320   320 Other debt 3   2013 - 2022   3   — Total debt $ 12,432       12,870   11,128 Less: current maturities         (1,781 )   (33 ) Long-term debt         $ 11,089   $ 11,095 Commercial Paper We are authorized to borrow up to $10.0 billion under our U.S. commercial paper program. We also maintain a European commercial paper program under which we are authorized to borrow up to €1.0 billion in a variety of currencies. No amounts were outstanding under these programs as of December 31, 2012. The amount of commercial paper outstanding under these programs in 2013 is expected to fluctuate. Fixed Rate Senior Notes We have completed several offerings of fixed rate senior notes. All of the notes pay interest semiannually, and allow for redemption of the notes by UPS at any time by paying the greater of the principal amount or a “make-whole” amount, plus accrued interest. We subsequently entered into interest rate swaps on several of these notes, which effectively converted the fixed interest rates on the notes to variable LIBOR-based interest rates. The average interest rate payable on these notes, including the impact of the interest rate swaps, for 2012 and 2011, respectively, were as follows:   Principal       Average Effective Interest Rate   Value   Maturity   2012   2011 4.50% senior notes 1,750   2013   2.51 %   2.39 % 3.875% senior notes 1,000   2014   1.14 %   0.99 % 1.125% senior notes 375   2017   0.57 %   — % 5.50% senior notes 750   2018   2.71 %   2.53 % 5.125% senior notes 1,000   2019   2.20 %   2.04 % 3.125% senior notes 1,500   2021   1.28 %   0.52 % 2.45% senior notes 1,000   2022   0.86 %   — % 8.375% Debentures The 8.375% debentures consist of two separate tranches, as follows: • $276 million of the debentures have a maturity of April 1, 2030. These debentures have an 8.375% interest rate until April 1, 2020, and, thereafter, the interest rate will be 7.62% for the final 10 years. These debentures are redeemable in whole or in part at our option at any time. The redemption price is equal to the greater of 100% of the principal amount and accrued interest or the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payout of principal and interest thereon discounted to the date of redemption at a benchmark treasury yield plus five basis points plus accrued interest. • $424 million of the debentures have a maturity of April 1, 2020. These debentures are not subject to redemption prior to maturity. Interest is payable semiannually on the first of April and October for both debentures and neither debenture is subject to sinking fund requirements. We subsequently entered into interest rate swaps on the 2020 notes, which effectively converted the fixed interest rates on the notes to variable LIBOR-based interest rates. The average interest rate payable on the 2020 notes, including the impact of the interest rate swaps, for 2012 and 2011 was 5.73% and 5.97%, respectively. Floating Rate Senior Notes The floating rate senior notes bear interest at one-month LIBOR less 45 basis points. The average interest rate for 2012 and 2011 was 0.00% for both years. These notes are callable at various times after 30 years at a stated percentage of par value, and putable by the note holders at various times after 10 years at a stated percentage of par value. The notes have maturities ranging from 2049 through 2053. In 2012 and 2011, we redeemed notes with a principal value of $2 and $10 million, respectively, after put options were exercised by the note holders. Capital Lease Obligations We have certain property, plant and equipment subject to capital leases. Some of the obligations associated with these capital leases have been legally defeased. The recorded value of our property, plant and equipment subject to capital leases is as follows as of December 31 (in millions):     2012   2011 Vehicles $ 63   $ 35 Aircraft 2,282   2,282 Buildings 65   24 Plant Equipment 2   2 Technology Equipment 3   1 Accumulated amortization (611 )   (457 )   $ 1,804   $ 1,887 These capital lease obligations have principal payments due at various dates from 2013 through 3004. Facility Notes and Bonds We have entered into agreements with certain municipalities to finance the construction of, or improvements to, facilities that support our U.S. Domestic Package and Supply Chain & Freight operations in the United States. These facilities are located around airport properties in Louisville, Kentucky; Dallas, Texas; and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Under these arrangements, we enter into a lease or loan agreement that covers the debt service obligations on the bonds issued by the municipalities, as follows: • Bonds with a principal balance of $149 million issued by the Louisville Regional Airport Authority associated with our Worldport facility in Louisville, Kentucky. The bonds, which are due in January 2029, bear interest at a variable rate, and the average interest rates for 2012 and 2011 were 0.15% and 0.11%, respectively. • Bonds with a principal balance of $42 million and due in November 2036 issued by the Louisville Regional Airport Authority associated with our air freight facility in Louisville, Kentucky. The bonds bear interest at a variable rate, and the average interest rates for 2012 and 2011 were 0.15% and 0.11%, respectively. • Bonds with a principal balance of $29 million issued by the Dallas / Fort Worth International Airport Facility Improvement Corporation associated with our Dallas, Texas airport facilities. The bonds are due in May 2032 and bear interest at a variable rate, however the variable cash flows on the obligation have been swapped to a fixed 5.11%. • Bonds with a principal balance of $100 million issued by the Delaware County, Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority associated with our Philadelphia, Pennsylvania airport facilities. The bonds, which are due in December 2015, bear interest at a variable rate, and the average interest rates for 2012 and 2011 were 0.13% and 0.11%, respectively. Pound Sterling Notes The Pound Sterling notes consist of two separate tranches, as follows: • Notes with a principal amount of £66 million accrue interest at a 5.50% fixed rate, and are due in February 2031. These notes are not callable. • Notes with a principal amount of £455 million accrue interest at a 5.13% fixed rate, and are due in February 2050. These notes are callable at our option at a redemption price equal to the greater of 100% of the principal amount and accrued interest, or the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payout of principal and interest thereon discounted to the date of redemption at a benchmark U.K. government bond yield plus 15 basis points and accrued interest. We maintain cross-currency interest rate swaps to hedge the foreign currency risk associated with the bond cash flows for both tranches of these bonds. The average fixed interest rate payable on the swaps is 5.72%. Contractual Commitments We lease certain aircraft, facilities, land, equipment and vehicles under operating leases, which expire at various dates through 2038. Certain of the leases contain escalation clauses and renewal or purchase options. Rent expense related to our operating leases was $619, $629 and $615 million for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The following table sets forth the aggregate minimum lease payments under capital and operating leases, the aggregate annual principal payments due under our long-term debt, and the aggregate amounts expected to be spent for purchase commitments (in millions). Year Capital Leases   Operating Leases   Debt Principal   Purchase Commitments 2013 $ 55   $ 342   $ 1,750   $ 629 2014 52   271   1,000   103 2015 50   203   101   22 2016 49   145   1   14 2017 48   118   375   7 After 2017 426   358   8,765   — Total 680   $ 1,437   $ 11,992   $ 775 Less: imputed interest (240 )             Present value of minimum capitalized lease payments 440             Less: current portion (31 )             Long-term capitalized lease obligations $ 409             As of December 31, 2012, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling approximately $1.369 billion issued in connection with our self-insurance reserves and other routine business requirements. We also issue surety bonds as an alternative to letters of credit in certain instances, and as of December 31, 2012, we had $584 million of surety bonds written. Available Credit We maintain two credit agreements with a consortium of banks. One of these agreements provides revolving credit facilities of $1.5 billion, and expires on April 11, 2013. Generally, amounts outstanding under this facility bear interest at a periodic fixed rate equal to LIBOR for the applicable interest period and currency denomination, plus an applicable margin. Alternatively, a fluctuating rate of interest equal to Citibank’s publicly announced base rate, plus an applicable margin, may be used at our discretion. In each case, the applicable margin for advances bearing interest based on LIBOR is a percentage determined by quotations from Markit Group Ltd. for our 1-year credit default swap spread, subject to a minimum rate of 0.10% and a maximum rate of 0.75%. The applicable margin for advances bearing interest based on the base rate is 1.00% below the applicable margin for LIBOR advances (but not lower than 0.00%). We are also able to request advances under this facility based on competitive bids for the applicable interest rate. There were no amounts outstanding under this facility as of December 31, 2012. The second agreement provides revolving credit facilities of $1.0 billion, and expires on April 12, 2017. Generally, amounts outstanding under this facility bear interest at a periodic fixed rate equal to LIBOR for the applicable interest period and currency denomination, plus an applicable margin. Alternatively, a fluctuating rate of interest equal to Citibank’s publicly announced base rate, plus an applicable margin, may be used at our discretion. In each case, the applicable margin for advances bearing interest based on LIBOR is a percentage determined by quotations from Markit Group Ltd. for our credit default swap spread, interpolated for a period from the date of determination of such credit default swap spread in connection with a new interest period until the latest maturity date of this facility then in effect (but not less than a period of one year). The applicable margin is subject to certain minimum rates and maximum rates based on our public debt ratings from Standard & Poor’s Rating Service and Moody’s Investors Service. The minimum applicable margin rates range from 0.100% to 0.375%, and the maximum applicable margin rates range from 0.750% to 1.250%. The applicable margin for advances bearing interest based on the base rate is 1.00% below the applicable margin for LIBOR advances (but not less than 0.00%). We are also able to request advances under this facility based on competitive bids. There were no amounts outstanding under this facility as of December 31, 2012. Debt Covenants Our existing debt instruments and credit facilities subject us to certain financial covenants. As of December 31, 2012 and for all prior periods presented, we have satisfied these financial covenants. These covenants limit the amount of secured indebtedness that we may incur, and limit the amount of attributable debt in sale-leaseback transactions, to 10% of net tangible assets. As of December 31, 2012, 10% of net tangible assets is equivalent to $2.770 billion; however, we have no covered sale-leaseback transactions or secured indebtedness outstanding. Additionally, we are required to maintain a minimum net worth, as defined, of $5.0 billion on a quarterly basis. As of December 31, 2012, our net worth, as defined, was equivalent to $8.007 billion. We do not expect these covenants to have a material impact on our financial condition or liquidity. Fair Value of Debt Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for long-term debt with similar terms and maturities, the fair value of long-term debt, including current maturities, is approximately $14.658 and $12.035 billion as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We utilized Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy of valuation techniques to determine the fair value of all of our debt instruments.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND CONTINGENCIES	12 Months Ended
Dec. 31, 2012
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND CONTINGENCIES	LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND CONTINGENCIES We are involved in a number of judicial proceedings and other matters arising from the conduct of our business activities. Although there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome, we have generally denied, or believe we have a meritorious defense and will deny, liability in all litigation pending against us, including (except as otherwise noted herein) the matters described below, and we intend to defend vigorously each case. We have accrued for legal claims when, and to the extent that, amounts associated with the claims become probable and can be reasonably estimated. The actual costs of resolving legal claims may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts accrued for those claims. For those matters as to which we are not able to estimate a possible loss or range of loss, we are not able to determine whether the loss will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations or liquidity. For matters in this category, we have indicated in the descriptions that follow the reasons that we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss. Judicial Proceedings We are a defendant in a number of lawsuits filed in state and federal courts containing various class action allegations under state wage-and-hour laws. At this time, we do not believe that any loss associated with these matters, would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. UPS and our subsidiary Mail Boxes Etc., Inc. are defendants in a lawsuit in California Superior Court about the rebranding of The UPS Store franchises.  In the Morgate case, the plaintiffs are 125 individual franchisees who did not rebrand to The UPS Store and a certified class of all franchisees who did rebrand. The trial court entered judgment against a bellwether individual plaintiff, which was affirmed in January 2012. The trial court granted our motion for summary judgment against the certified class, which was reversed in January 2012.   There are multiple factors that prevent us from being able to estimate the amount of loss, if any, that may result from whatever remaining aspects of this case proceeds, including: (1) we are vigorously defending ourselves and believe we have a number of meritorious legal defenses; and (2) it remains uncertain what evidence of damages, if any, plaintiffs will be able to present. Accordingly, at this time, we are not able to estimate a possible loss or range of loss that may result from this matter or to determine whether such loss, if any, would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. In AFMS LLC v. UPS and FedEx Corporation, a lawsuit filed in federal court in the Central District of California in August 2010, the plaintiff asserts that UPS and FedEx violated U.S. antitrust law by conspiring to refuse to negotiate with third-party negotiators retained by shippers and by individually imposing policies that prevent shippers from using such negotiators. The case is scheduled to go to trial in August 2013. The Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) has an ongoing civil investigation of our policies and practices for dealing with third-party negotiators. We are cooperating with this investigation. We deny any liability with respect to these matters and intend to vigorously defend ourselves. There are multiple factors that prevent us from being able to estimate the amount of loss, if any, that may result from these matters including: (1) we believe that we have a number of meritorious defenses; (2) discovery is ongoing; and (3) the DOJ investigation is ongoing. Accordingly, at this time, we are not able to estimate a possible loss or range of loss that may result from these matters or to determine whether such loss, if any, would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. In Canada, four purported class-action cases were filed against us in British Columbia (2006); Ontario (2007) and Québec (2006 and 2013). The cases each allege inadequate disclosure concerning the existence and cost of brokerage services provided by us under applicable provincial consumer protection legislation and infringement of interest restriction provisions under the Criminal Code of Canada. The British Columbia class action was declared inappropriate for certification and dismissed by the trial judge. That decision was upheld by the British Columbia Court of Appeal in March 2010, which ended the case in our favor. The Ontario class action was certified in September 2011. Partial summary judgment was granted to us and the plaintiffs by the Ontario motions court. The complaint under the Criminal Code was dismissed. No appeal is being taken from that decision. The allegations of inadequate disclosure were granted and we are appealing that decision. The motion to authorize the 2006 Québec litigation as a class action was dismissed by the motions judge in October 2012; there was no appeal, which ended that case in our favor. The 2013 Québec litigation is in the earliest stages. We deny all liability and are vigorously defending the two outstanding cases. There are multiple factors that prevent us from being able to estimate the amount of loss, if any, that may result from these matters, including: (1) we are vigorously defending ourselves and believe that we have a number of meritorious legal defenses; and (2) there are unresolved questions of law and fact that could be important to the ultimate resolution of these matters. Accordingly, at this time, we are not able to estimate a possible loss or range of loss that may result from these matters or to determine whether such loss, if any, would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operation or liquidity. Other Matters In May and December 2007 and August 2008 we received and responded to grand jury subpoenas from the DOJ in the Northern District of California in connection with an investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration. We also have responded to informal requests for information in connection with this investigation, which relates to transportation of packages on behalf of online pharmacies that may have operated illegally. We have been cooperating with this investigation and are exploring the possibility of resolving this matter, which could include our undertaking further enhancements to our compliance program and a payment. Such a payment may exceed the amounts previously accrued with respect to this matter, but we do not expect that the amount of such additional loss would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. We received a grand jury subpoena from the Antitrust Division of the DOJ regarding the DOJ's investigation into certain pricing practices in the freight forwarding industry in December 2007. In January 2013, we received a letter from the DOJ confirming that it is not pursuing a case against UPS with respect to the investigation. In August 2010, competition authorities in Brazil opened an administrative proceeding to investigate alleged anticompetitive behavior in the freight forwarding industry. Approximately 45 freight forwarding companies and individuals are named in the proceeding, including UPS, UPS SCS Transportes (Brasil) S.A., and a former employee in Brazil. UPS will have an opportunity to respond to these allegations. In November 2012, we also received a request for information related to similar matters from authorities in Singapore. We are cooperating with each of these investigations, and intend to continue to vigorously defend ourselves. There are multiple factors that prevent us from being able to estimate the amount of loss, if any, that may result from these matters including: (1) we are vigorously defending each matter and believe that we have a number of meritorious legal defenses; (2) there are unresolved questions of law that could be of importance to the ultimate resolutions of these matters, including the calculation of any potential fine; and (3) there is uncertainty about the time period that is the subject of the investigations. Accordingly, at this time, we are not able to estimate a possible loss or range of loss that may result from these matters or to determine whether such loss, if any, would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. In January 2008, a class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York alleging price-fixing activities relating to the provision of freight forwarding services. UPS was not named in this case. In July 2009, the plaintiffs filed a first amended complaint naming numerous global freight forwarders as defendants. UPS and UPS Supply Chain Solutions are among the 60 defendants named in the amended complaint. The plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Complaint in October 2010, which we moved to dismiss. In August 2012, the Court granted our motion to dismiss all claims relevant to UPS in the Second Amended Complaint, with leave to amend. The plaintiffs filed a Third Amended Complaint in November 2012. We intend to file another motion to dismiss, and to otherwise vigorously defend ourselves in this case. There are multiple factors that prevent us from being able to estimate the amount of loss, if any, that may result from these matters including: (1) the court has dismissed the complaint once but has not considered the adequacy of the amended complaint; (2) the scope and size of the proposed class is ill-defined; (3) there are significant legal questions about the adequacy and standing of the putative class representatives; and (4) we believe that we have a number of meritorious legal defenses. Accordingly, at this time, we are not able to estimate a possible loss or range of loss that may result from these matters or to determine whether such loss, if any, would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. We are a defendant in various other lawsuits that arose in the normal course of business. We do not believe that the eventual resolution of these other lawsuits (either individually or in the aggregate), including any reasonably possible losses in excess of current accruals, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Tax Matters In June 2011, we received an IRS Revenue Agent Report (RAR) covering excise taxes for tax years 2003 through 2007, in addition to the income tax matters described in note 12. The excise tax RAR proposed two alternate theories for asserting additional excise tax on transportation of property by air. We disagreed with these proposed excise tax theories and related adjustments. We filed protests and, in the third quarter of 2011, the IRS responded to our protests and forwarded the case to IRS Appeals. In the third quarter of 2012, following the Appeals Opening Conference in July 2012, we had settlement discussions which we expect will lead to a complete resolution of all excise tax matters and correlative income tax refund claims for the 2003 through 2007 tax years within the next twelve months. We do not believe the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

SHAREOWNERS' EQUITY	12 Months Ended
Dec. 31, 2012
Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]
SHAREOWNERS' EQUITY	SHAREOWNERS’ EQUITY Capital Stock, Additional Paid-In Capital, and Retained Earnings We maintain two classes of common stock, which are distinguished from each other by their respective voting rights. Class A shares of UPS are entitled to 10 votes per share, whereas class B shares are entitled to one vote per share. Class A shares are primarily held by UPS employees and retirees, as well as trusts and descendants of the Company’s founders, and these shares are fully convertible into class B shares at any time. Class B shares are publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “UPS.” Class A and B shares both have a $0.01 par value, and as of December 31, 2012, there were 4.6 billion class A shares and 5.6 billion class B shares authorized to be issued. Additionally, there are 200 million preferred shares authorized to be issued, with a par value of $0.01 per share; as of December 31, 2012, no preferred shares had been issued.

On May 3, 2012, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase authorization of $5.0 billion, which replaced an authorization previously announced in 2008. As of December 31, 2012, we had $3.970 billion of this share repurchase authorization remaining. On February 14, 2013, the Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase authorization of $10.0 billion, which replaced the 2012 authorization. This new share repurchase authorization has no expiration date. In order to lower the average cost of acquiring shares in our ongoing share repurchase program, we periodically enter into structured repurchase agreements involving the use of capped call options for the purchase of UPS class B shares. We pay a fixed sum of cash upon execution of each agreement in exchange for the right to receive either a pre-determined amount of cash or stock. Upon expiration of each agreement, if the closing market price of our common stock is above the pre-determined price, we will have our initial investment returned with a premium in either cash or shares (at our election). If the closing market price of our common stock is at or below the pre-determined price, we will receive the number of shares specified in the agreement. During 2012, we did not pay premiums on options for the purchase of shares; however, we received $206 million in premiums for options that were entered into during 2011 that expired during 2012. During 2011, we settled options that resulted in the repurchase of 0.8 million shares at $65.11 per share, as well as the receipt of $6 million in premiums (in excess of our initial investment). Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) We incur activity in AOCI for unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, foreign currency translation adjustments, unrealized gains and losses from derivatives that qualify as hedges of cash flows and unrecognized pension and postretirement benefit costs. The activity in AOCI is as follows (in millions):   2012   2011   2010 Foreign currency translation gain (loss):           Balance at beginning of year $ (160 )   $ (68 )   $ 37 Aggregate adjustment for the year (net of tax effect of $(9), $11 and $(34)) 294   (92 )   (105 ) Balance at end of year 134   (160 )   (68 ) Unrealized gain (loss) on marketable securities, net of tax:           Balance at beginning of year 6   12   (27 ) Current period changes in fair value (net of tax effect of $4, $11 and $17) 6   18   30 Reclassification to earnings (net of tax effect of $(3), $(14) and $6) (6 )   (24 )   9 Balance at end of year 6   6   12 Unrealized gain (loss) on cash flow hedges, net of tax:           Balance at beginning of year (204 )   (239 )   (200 ) Current period changes in fair value (net of tax effect of $(25), $(16) and $(4)) (43 )   (26 )   (7 ) Reclassification to earnings (net of tax effect of $(24), $37 and $(19)) (39 )   61   (32 ) Balance at end of year (286 )   (204 )   (239 ) Unrecognized pension and postretirement benefit costs, net of tax:           Balance at beginning of year (2,745 )   (2,340 )   (1,527 ) Reclassification to earnings (net of tax effect of $1,876, $378 and $150) 3,135   628   245 Net actuarial gain (loss) and prior service cost resulting from remeasurements of plan assets and liabilities (net of tax effect of $(2,151), $(622) and $(633)) (3,598 )   (1,033 )   (1,058 ) Balance at end of year (3,208 )   (2,745 )   (2,340 ) Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at end of year $ (3,354 )   $ (3,103 )   $ (2,635 ) Deferred Compensation Obligations and Treasury Stock We maintain a deferred compensation plan whereby certain employees were previously able to elect to defer the gains on stock option exercises by deferring the shares received upon exercise into a rabbi trust. The shares held in this trust are classified as treasury stock, and the liability to participating employees is classified as “deferred compensation obligations” in the shareowners’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheets. The number of shares needed to settle the liability for deferred compensation obligations is included in the denominator in both the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations. Employees are generally no longer able to defer the gains from stock options exercised subsequent to December 31, 2004. Activity in the deferred compensation program for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 is as follows (in millions):   2012   2011   2010   Shares   Dollars   Shares   Dollars   Shares   Dollars Deferred Compensation Obligations                       Balance at beginning of year     $ 88       $ 103       $ 108 Reinvested dividends     3       4       4 Options exercise deferrals     —       —       1 Benefit payments     (13 )       (19 )       (10 ) Balance at end of year     $ 78       $ 88       $ 103 Treasury Stock                       Balance at beginning of year (2 )   $ (88 )   (2 )   $ (103 )   (2 )   $ (108 ) Reinvested dividends —   (3 )   —   (4 )   —   (4 ) Options exercise deferrals —   —   —   —   —   (1 ) Benefit payments 1   13   —   19   —   10 Balance at end of year (1 )   $ (78 )   (2 )   $ (88 )   (2 )   $ (103 ) Noncontrolling Interests We have noncontrolling interests in certain consolidated subsidiaries in our International Package and Supply Chain & Freight segments, the largest of which relates to a joint venture that operates in the Middle East, Turkey, and portions of the Central Asia region.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION	12 Months Ended
Dec. 31, 2012
Share-based Compensation [Abstract]
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION	STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION Incentive Compensation Plan The UPS Incentive Compensation Plan permits the grant of nonqualified and incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and stock units, and restricted performance shares and units, to eligible employees. The number of shares reserved for issuance under the Incentive Compensation Plan is 27 million. Each share issued pursuant to an option and each share issued subject to the exercised portion of a stock appreciation right will reduce the share reserve by one share. Each share issued pursuant to restricted stock and stock units, and restricted performance shares and units, will reduce the share reserve by one share. As of December 31, 2012, stock options, restricted performance units and restricted stock units had been granted under the Incentive Compensation Plan. We had 27 million shares available to be issued under the Incentive Compensation Plan as of December 31, 2012. Management Incentive Award Non-executive management earning the right to receive Management Incentive Awards are determined annually by the Salary Committee, which is comprised of executive officers of the Company. Awards granted to executive officers are determined annually by the Compensation Committee of the UPS Board of Directors. Our Management Incentive Awards program provides, with certain exceptions, that one-half to two-thirds of the annual Management Incentive Award will be made in Restricted Units (depending upon the level of management involved), which generally vest over a five-year period. The other one-third to one-half of the award is in the form of cash or unrestricted shares of class A common stock, and is fully vested at the time of grant. Upon vesting, Restricted Units result in the issuance of the equivalent number of UPS class A common shares after required tax withholdings. Except in the case of death, disability, or retirement, Restricted Units granted for our Management Incentive Awards and previous Long-Term Incentive Program generally vest over a five year period with approximately 20% of the award vesting at each anniversary date of the grant. The entire grant is expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. All Restricted Units granted are subject to earlier cancellation or vesting under certain conditions. Dividends earned on Restricted Units are reinvested in additional Restricted Units at each dividend payable date. Long-Term Incentive Performance Award We also award Restricted Units in conjunction with our Long-Term Incentive Performance Awards program to certain eligible employees. The Restricted Units ultimately granted under the Long-Term Incentive Performance Awards program will be based upon the achievement of certain performance measures, including growth in consolidated revenue and operating return on invested capital, each year during the performance award cycle, and other measures, including growth in consolidated earnings per share, over the entire three year performance award cycle. The Restricted Units granted under this program vest at the end of the three year performance award cycle. As of December 31, 2012, we had the following Restricted Units outstanding, including reinvested dividends:   Shares (in thousands)   Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value   Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years)   Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in millions) Nonvested at January 1, 2012 15,839   $ 62.98         Vested (8,914 )   63.99         Granted 7,423   77.21         Reinvested Dividends 568   N/A         Forfeited / Expired (272 )   67.51         Nonvested at December 31, 2012 14,644   $ 68.71   1.57   $ 1,080 Restricted Units Expected to Vest 14,172   $ 68.61   1.55   $ 1,045 The fair value of each Restricted Unit is the NYSE closing price of class B common stock on the date of grant. The weighted-average grant date fair value of Restricted Units granted during 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $77.21, $69.53 and $66.36, respectively. The total fair value of Restricted Units vested was $627, $557 and $523 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As of December 31, 2012, there was $571 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested Restricted Units. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3 years and 1 month. Nonqualified Stock Options We maintain fixed stock option plans, under which options are granted to purchase shares of UPS class A common stock. Stock options granted in connection with the Incentive Compensation Plan must have an exercise price at least equal to the NYSE closing price of UPS class B common stock on the date the option is granted. Executive officers and certain senior managers annually receive non-qualified stock options of which the value is determined as a percentage of salary. Options granted generally vest over a five year period with approximately 20% of the award vesting at each anniversary date of the grant. All options granted are subject to earlier cancellation or vesting under certain conditions. Option holders may exercise their options via the tender of cash or class A common stock, and new class A shares are issued upon exercise. Options granted to eligible employees will be granted annually during the first quarter of each year. The following is an analysis of options to purchase shares of class A common stock issued and outstanding:     Shares (in thousands)   Weighted Average Exercise Price   Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years)   Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in millions) Outstanding at January 1, 2012 13,199   $ 70.18         Exercised (2,778 )   63.50         Granted 187   76.94         Forfeited / Expired (13 )   82.74         Outstanding at December 31, 2012 10,595   $ 72.04   3.03   $ 34 Options Vested and Expected to Vest 10,595   $ 72.04   3.03   $ 34 Exercisable at December 31, 2012 10,115   $ 72.09   2.79   $ 32 The fair value of each option grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted average assumptions used, by year, and the calculated weighted average fair values of options, are as follows:   2012   2011   2010 Expected dividend yield 2.77 %   2.77 %   2.70 % Risk-free interest rate 1.63 %   2.90 %   3.30 % Expected life in years 7.5   7.5   7.5 Expected volatility 25.06 %   24.26 %   23.59 % Weighted average fair value of options granted $ 14.88   $ 15.92   $ 14.83 Expected volatilities are based on the historical returns on our stock and the implied volatility of our publicly-traded options. The expected dividend yield is based on the recent historical dividend yields for our stock, taking into account changes in dividend policy. The risk-free interest rate is based on the term structure of interest rates at the time of the option grant. The expected life represents an estimate of the period of time options are expected to remain outstanding, and we have relied upon a combination of the observed exercise behavior of our prior grants with similar characteristics, the vesting schedule of the grants, and an index of peer companies with similar grant characteristics in estimating this variable. We received cash of $122, $92 and $60 million during 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, from option holders resulting from the exercise of stock options. We received a tax benefit of $3, $6 and $4 million during 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, from the exercise of stock options, which is reported as cash from financing activities in the cash flow statement. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $39, $31 and $18 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2012, there was $2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested options. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3 years and 4 months. The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2012:   Options Outstanding   Options Exercisable Exercise Price Range Shares (in thousands)   Average Life (in years)   Average Exercise Price   Shares (in thousands)   Average Exercise Price $50.01 - $60.00 211   6.35   $ 55.83   133   $ 55.83 $60.01 - $70.00 1,337   1.20   62.98   1,257   62.72 $70.01 - $80.00 6,858   3.19   71.47   6,536   71.27 $80.01 - $90.00 2,189   3.33   80.92   2,189   80.92   10,595   3.03   $ 72.04   10,115   $ 72.09 Discounted Employee Stock Purchase Plan We maintain an employee stock purchase plan for all eligible employees. Under this plan, shares of UPS class A common stock may be purchased at quarterly intervals at 95% of the NYSE closing price of UPS class B common stock on the last day of each quarterly period. Employees purchased 1.2, 1.3 and 1.5 million shares at average prices of $72.17, $66.86 and $57.98 per share during 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively. This plan is not considered to be compensatory, and therefore no compensation cost is measured for the employees’ purchase rights.

SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION	12 Months Ended
Dec. 31, 2012
Segments, Geographical Areas [Abstract]
SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION	SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION We report our operations in three segments: U.S. Domestic Package operations, International Package operations and Supply Chain & Freight operations. Package operations represent our most significant business and are broken down into regional operations around the world. Regional operations managers are responsible for both domestic and export operations within their geographic area. U.S. Domestic Package Domestic Package operations include the time-definite delivery of letters, documents and packages throughout the United States. International Package International Package operations include delivery to more than 220 countries and territories worldwide, including shipments wholly outside the United States, as well as shipments with either origin or destination outside the United States. Our International Package reporting segment includes the operations of our Europe, Asia and Americas operating segments. Supply Chain & Freight Supply Chain & Freight includes our forwarding and logistics operations, UPS Freight and other aggregated business units. Our forwarding and logistics business provides services in more than 195 countries and territories worldwide, and includes supply chain design and management, freight distribution, customs brokerage, mail and consulting services. UPS Freight offers a variety of LTL and TL services to customers in North America. Other aggregated business units within this segment include Mail Boxes Etc. (the franchisor of Mail Boxes Etc. and The UPS Store) and UPS Capital. In evaluating financial performance, we focus on operating profit as a segment’s measure of profit or loss. Operating profit is before investment income, interest expense and income taxes. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of accounting policies (see note 1), with certain expenses allocated between the segments using activity-based costing methods. Unallocated assets are comprised primarily of cash, marketable securities, and certain investment partnerships. Segment information as of, and for the years ended, December 31 is as follows (in millions):   2012   2011   2010 Revenue:           U.S. Domestic Package $ 32,856   $ 31,717   $ 29,742 International Package 12,124   12,249   11,133 Supply Chain & Freight 9,147   9,139   8,670 Consolidated $ 54,127   $ 53,105   $ 49,545 Operating Profit:           U.S. Domestic Package $ 459   $ 3,764   $ 3,238 International Package 869   1,709   1,831 Supply Chain & Freight 15   607   572 Consolidated $ 1,343   $ 6,080   $ 5,641 Assets:           U.S. Domestic Package $ 19,934   $ 19,300   $ 18,425 International Package 11,248   6,729   6,228 Supply Chain & Freight 6,610   6,588   6,283 Unallocated 1,071   2,084   2,661 Consolidated $ 38,863   $ 34,701   $ 33,597 Depreciation and Amortization Expense:           U.S. Domestic Package $ 1,220   $ 1,154   $ 1,174 International Package 475   474   443 Supply Chain & Freight 163   154   175 Consolidated $ 1,858   $ 1,782   $ 1,792 Revenue by product type for the years ended December 31 is as follows (in millions):   2012   2011   2010 U.S. Domestic Package:           Next Day Air $ 6,412   $ 6,229   $ 5,835 Deferred 3,392   3,299   2,975 Ground 23,052   22,189   20,932 Total U.S. Domestic Package 32,856   31,717   29,742 International Package:           Domestic 2,531   2,628   2,365 Export 9,033   9,056   8,234 Cargo 560   565   534 Total International Package 12,124   12,249   11,133 Supply Chain & Freight:           Forwarding and Logistics 5,977   6,103   6,022 Freight 2,640   2,563   2,208 Other 530   473   440 Total Supply Chain & Freight 9,147   9,139   8,670 Consolidated $ 54,127   $ 53,105   $ 49,545 Geographic information as of, and for the years ended, December 31 is as follows (in millions):   2012   2011   2010 United States:           Revenue $ 40,428   $ 39,347   $ 36,795 Long-lived assets $ 16,262   $ 16,085   $ 16,693 International:           Revenue $ 13,699   $ 13,758   $ 12,750 Long-lived assets $ 5,312   $ 5,220   $ 5,047 Consolidated:           Revenue $ 54,127   $ 53,105   $ 49,545 Long-lived assets $ 21,574   $ 21,305   $ 21,740 Long-lived assets include property, plant and equipment, pension and postretirement benefit assets, long-term investments, goodwill, and intangible assets.

INCOME TAXES	12 Months Ended
Dec. 31, 2012
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES The income tax expense (benefit) for the years ended December 31 consists of the following (in millions):   2012   2011   2010 Current:           U.S. Federal $ 1,901   $ 1,371   $ 776 U.S. State and Local 182   121   119 Non-U.S. 167   166   161 Total Current 2,250   1,658   1,056 Deferred:           U.S. Federal (1,871 )   262   828 U.S. State and Local (201 )   44   98 Non-U.S. (11 )   8   (30 ) Total Deferred (2,083 )   314   896 Total $ 167   $ 1,972   $ 1,952 Income before income taxes includes the following components (in millions):   2012   2011   2010 United States $ 384   $ 5,309   $ 4,586 Non-U.S. 590   467   704   $ 974   $ 5,776   $ 5,290 A reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate to the effective income tax rate for the years ended December 31 consists of the following:   2012   2011   2010 Statutory U.S. federal income tax rate 35.0  %   35.0  %   35.0  % U.S. state and local income taxes (net of federal benefit) —   2.0   2.4 Non-U.S. tax rate differential (6.1 )   (0.4 )   (0.7 ) Nondeductible/nontaxable items (0.4 )   (0.1 )   0.3 U.S. federal tax credits (7.4 )   (1.7 )   (1.9 ) Other (4.0 )   (0.7 )   1.8 Effective income tax rate 17.1  %   34.1  %   36.9  % Our effective tax rate declined to 17.1% in 2012 compared with 34.1% in 2011 largely due to the significance of U.S. Federal tax credits and the proportion of taxable income in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions relative to total pre-tax income. In the third quarter of 2010, we recognized a $40 million tax benefit associated with the release of a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets in our international package operations, partially offset by tax provided for interest earned on refunds. In the first quarter of 2010, we changed the tax status of a German subsidiary that was taxable in the U.S. and its local jurisdiction to one that is taxed solely in its local jurisdiction. This change was made primarily to allow for more flexibility in funding this subsidiary’s operations with local liquidity sources, improve the cash flow position in the U.S., and help mitigate future currency remeasurement risk. As a result of this change in tax status, we recorded a non-cash charge of $76 million, which resulted primarily from the write-off of related deferred tax assets which will not be realizable following the change in tax status. Beginning in 2012, we were granted a tax incentive for certain of our non-U.S. operations, which is effective through December 31, 2017 and may be extended through December 31, 2022 if additional requirements are satisfied. The tax incentive is conditional upon our meeting specific employment and investment thresholds. The impact of this tax incentive decreased non-U.S. tax expense by $22 million, or $0.02 per share, for 2012. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are comprised of the following at December 31 (in millions):   2012   2011 Property, plant and equipment $ (3,624 )   $ (3,607 ) Goodwill and intangible assets (1,035 )   (951 ) Other (617 )   (554 ) Deferred tax liabilities (5,276 )   (5,112 ) Pension and postretirement benefits 4,608   2,106 Loss and credit carryforwards (non-U.S. and state) 258   259 Insurance reserves 737   696 Vacation pay accrual 209   208 Stock compensation 159   211 Other 708   635 Deferred tax assets 6,679   4,115 Deferred tax assets valuation allowance (220 )   (205 ) Deferred tax asset (net of valuation allowance) 6,459   3,910 Net deferred tax asset (liability) $ 1,183   $ (1,202 )         Amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets:       Current deferred tax assets $ 583   $ 611 Current deferred tax liabilities (included in other current liabilities) (36 )   (31 ) Non-current deferred tax assets 684   118 Non-current deferred tax liabilities (48 )   (1,900 ) Net deferred tax asset (liability) $ 1,183   $ (1,202 ) The valuation allowance increased by $15, $2 and $30 million during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. We have U.S. state and local operating loss and credit carryforwards as follows (in millions):   2012   2011 U.S. state and local operating loss carryforwards $ 608   $ 859 U.S. state and local credit carryforwards $ 61   $ 77 The operating loss carryforwards expire at varying dates through 2032. The state credits can be carried forward for periods ranging from three years to indefinitely. We also have non-U.S. loss carryforwards of approximately $842 million as of December 31, 2012, the majority of which may be carried forward indefinitely. As indicated in the table above, we have established a valuation allowance for certain non-U.S. and state carryforwards, due to the uncertainty resulting from a lack of previous taxable income within the applicable tax jurisdictions. Undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries amounted to approximately $3.575 billion at December 31, 2012. Those earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no deferred income taxes have been provided thereon. Upon distribution of those earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, we would be subject to income taxes and withholding taxes payable in various jurisdictions, which could potentially be offset by foreign tax credits. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred income tax liability is not practicable because of the complexities associated with its hypothetical calculation. The following table summarizes the activity related to our unrecognized tax benefits (in millions):   Tax   Interest   Penalties Balance at January 1, 2010 $ 266   $ 86   $ 8 Additions for tax positions of the current year 16   —   — Additions for tax positions of prior years 45   25   2 Reductions for tax positions of prior years for:           Changes based on facts and circumstances (27 )   (10 )   (3 ) Settlements during the period (6 )   (3 )   — Lapses of applicable statute of limitations (10 )   (3 )   — Balance at December 31, 2010 284   95   7 Additions for tax positions of the current year 13   —   — Additions for tax positions of prior years 17   6   — Reductions for tax positions of prior years for:           Changes based on facts and circumstances (50 )   (9 )   (2 ) Settlements during the period (11 )   (19 )   (1 ) Lapses of applicable statute of limitations (1 )   —   (1 ) Balance at December 31, 2011 252   73   3 Additions for tax positions of the current year 13   —   — Additions for tax positions of prior years 7   9   1 Reductions for tax positions of prior years for:           Changes based on facts and circumstances (22 )   (18 )   — Settlements during the period (3 )   (7 )   — Lapses of applicable statute of limitations (15 )   (4 )   — Balance at December 31, 2012 $ 232   $ 53   $ 4 The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate was $224, $247 and $283 million, respectively. We also had gross recognized tax benefits of $280, $291 and $326 million recorded as of December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, associated with outstanding refund claims for prior tax years. Therefore, we had a net receivable recorded with respect to prior years’ income tax matters in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, we have recognized a receivable for interest of $23, $27 and $32 million for the recognized tax benefits associated with outstanding refund claims as of December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Our continuing practice is to recognize interest and penalties associated with income tax matters as a component of income tax expense. We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, most U.S. state and local jurisdictions, and many non-U.S. jurisdictions. We have substantially resolved all U.S. federal income tax matters for tax years prior to 2005. During the fourth quarter of 2010, we received a refund of $139 million as a result of the resolution of tax years 2003 through 2004 with the IRS Appeals Office. We have filed all required U.S. state and local returns reporting the result of the resolution of the U.S. federal income tax audit of the tax years 2003 and 2004. A limited number of U.S. state and local matters are the subject of ongoing audits, administrative appeals or litigation. In June 2011, we received an IRS Revenue Agent Report (RAR) covering income taxes for tax years 2005 through 2007, in addition to the excise tax matters described in note 8. The income tax RAR proposed adjustments related to the value of acquired software and intangibles, research credit expenditures, and the amount of deductible costs associated with our British Pound Sterling Notes exchange offer completed in May 2007. Receipt of the RAR represents only the conclusion of the examination process. We disagree with some of the proposed adjustments related to these matters. Therefore, we filed protests and, in the third quarter of 2011, the IRS responded to our protests and forwarded the case to IRS Appeals. We expect to begin discussions of these income tax matters with IRS Appeals within the next twelve months. It should be noted, however, that the ultimate resolution of these matters will result in a refund to UPS - even according to the adjustments proposed by the IRS. At this time, we do not believe the ultimate resolution of these income tax matters will have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity. A number of years may elapse before an uncertain tax position is audited and ultimately settled. It is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome or the timing of resolution for uncertain tax positions. It is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits could significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months. Items that may cause changes to unrecognized tax benefits include the timing of interest deductions and the allocation of income and expense between tax jurisdictions. These changes could result from the settlement of ongoing litigation, the completion of ongoing examinations, the expiration of the statute of limitations or other unforeseen circumstances. At this time, an estimate of the range of the reasonably possible change cannot be made.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT	12 Months Ended
Dec. 31, 2012
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT	DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT Risk Management Policies We are exposed to market risk, primarily related to foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates. These exposures are actively monitored by management. To manage the volatility relating to certain of these exposures, we enter into a variety of derivative financial instruments. Our objective is to reduce, where it is deemed appropriate to do so, fluctuations in earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency rates, commodity prices and interest rates. It is our policy and practice to use derivative financial instruments only to the extent necessary to manage exposures. As we use price sensitive instruments to hedge a certain portion of our existing and anticipated transactions, we expect that any loss in value for those instruments generally would be offset by increases in the value of those hedged transactions. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Credit Risk Management The forward contracts, swaps and options discussed below contain an element of risk that the counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreements. However, we minimize such risk exposures for these instruments by limiting the counterparties to banks and financial institutions that meet established credit guidelines, and monitoring counterparty credit risk to prevent concentrations of credit risk with any single counterparty. We have agreements with substantially all of our active counterparties containing early termination rights and/or bilateral collateral provisions whereby cash is required whenever the net fair value of derivatives associated with those counterparties exceed specific thresholds. Events, such as a credit rating downgrade (depending on the ultimate rating level) would typically require an increase in the amount of collateral required of the counterparty and/or allow us to take additional protective measures such as early termination of trades. At December 31, 2012, we held cash collateral of $59 million under these agreements. In connection with the agreements described above, we could also be required to provide additional collateral or terminate transactions with certain counterparties in the event of a downgrade of our debt rating. The amount of additional collateral is a fixed incremental amount. At December 31, 2012 the aggregate fair value of the instruments covered by these contractual features that were in a net liability position was $129 million; however, we were not required to post any collateral with our counterparties as of that date. We have not historically incurred, and do not expect to incur in the future, any losses as a result of counterparty default. Accounting Policy for Derivative Instruments We recognize all derivative instruments as assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and, further, on the type of hedging relationship. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, a company must designate the derivative, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a cash flow hedge, a fair value hedge or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. A cash flow hedge refers to hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of AOCI, and reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The remaining gain or loss on the derivative instrument in excess of the cumulative change in the present value of future cash flows of the hedged item, or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness, are recognized in the statements of consolidated income during the current period. A fair value hedge refers to hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of an existing asset or liability on the consolidated balance sheets that is attributable to a particular risk. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is recognized in the statements of consolidated income during the current period, as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item. A net investment hedge refers to the use of cross currency swaps, forward contracts or foreign currency denominated debt to hedge portions of our net investments in foreign operations. For hedges that meet the effectiveness requirements, the net gains or losses attributable to changes in spot exchange rates are recorded in the cumulative translation adjustment within AOCI. The remainder of the change in value of such instruments is recorded in earnings. Types of Hedges Commodity Risk Management Currently, the fuel surcharges that we apply to our domestic and international package and LTL services are the primary means of reducing the risk of adverse fuel price changes on our business. We periodically enter into option contracts on energy commodity products to manage the price risk associated with forecasted transactions involving refined fuels, principally jet-A, diesel and unleaded gasoline. The objective of the hedges is to reduce the variability of cash flows, due to changing fuel prices, associated with the forecasted transactions involving those products. We designate and account for these contracts as cash flow hedges of the underlying forecasted transactions involving these fuel products and, therefore, the resulting gains and losses from these hedges are recognized as a component of fuel expense or revenue when the underlying transactions occur. Foreign Currency Risk Management To protect against the reduction in value of forecasted foreign currency cash flows from our international package business, we maintain a foreign currency cash flow hedging program. Our most significant foreign currency exposures relate to the Euro, the British Pound Sterling, Canadian Dollar, Chinese Renminbi and Hong Kong Dollar. We hedge portions of our forecasted revenue denominated in foreign currencies with option contracts. We have designated and account for these contracts as cash flow hedges of anticipated foreign currency denominated revenue and, therefore, the resulting gains and losses from these hedges are recognized as a component of international package revenue when the underlying sales transactions occur. We also hedge portions of our anticipated cash settlements of intercompany transactions subject to foreign currency remeasurement using foreign currency forward contracts. We have designated and account for these contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted foreign currency denominated transactions, and therefore the resulting gains and losses from these hedges are recognized as a component of other operating expense when the underlying transactions are subject to currency remeasurement. We have foreign currency denominated debt obligations and capital lease obligations associated with our aircraft. For some of these debt obligations and leases, we hedge the foreign currency denominated contractual payments using cross-currency interest rate swaps, which effectively convert the foreign currency denominated contractual payments into U.S. Dollar denominated payments. We have designated and account for these swaps as cash flow hedges of the forecasted contractual payments and, therefore, the resulting gains and losses from these hedges are recognized in the statements of consolidated income when the currency remeasurement gains and losses on the underlying debt obligations and leases are incurred. Interest Rate Risk Management Our indebtedness under our various financing arrangements creates interest rate risk. We use a combination of derivative instruments, including interest rate swaps and cross-currency interest rate swaps, as part of our program to manage the fixed and floating interest rate mix of our total debt portfolio and related overall cost of borrowing. The notional amount, interest payment and maturity dates of the swaps match the terms of the associated debt being hedged. Interest rate swaps allow us to maintain a target range of floating rate debt within our capital structure. We have designated and account for interest rate swaps that convert fixed rate interest payments into floating rate interest payments as hedges of the fair value of the associated debt instruments. Therefore, the gains and losses resulting from fair value adjustments to the interest rate swaps and fair value adjustments to the associated debt instruments are recorded to interest expense in the period in which the gains and losses occur. We have designated and account for interest rate swaps that convert floating rate interest payments into fixed rate interest payments as cash flow hedges of the forecasted payment obligations. The gains and losses resulting from fair value adjustments to the interest rate swap are recorded to AOCI. We periodically hedge the forecasted fixed-coupon interest payments associated with anticipated debt offerings, using forward starting interest rate swaps, interest rate locks or similar derivatives. These agreements effectively lock a portion of our interest rate exposure between the time the agreement is entered into and the date when the debt offering is completed, thereby mitigating the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. These derivatives are settled commensurate with the issuance of the debt, and any gain or loss upon settlement is amortized as an adjustment to the effective interest yield on the debt. Outstanding Positions The notional amounts of our outstanding derivative positions were as follows as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 (in millions):       2012   2011 Currency Hedges:           Euro EUR   1,783   1,685 British Pound Sterling GBP   797   870 Canadian Dollar CAD   341   318 United Arab Emirates Dirham AED   551   — Malaysian Ringgit MYR   500   —             Interest Rate Hedges:           Fixed to Floating Interest Rate Swaps USD   7,274   6,424 Floating to Fixed Interest Rate Swaps USD   781   791 Interest Rate Basis Swaps USD   2,500   — As of December 31, 2012, we had no outstanding commodity hedge positions. The maximum term over which we are hedging exposures to the variability of cash flow is 37 years. Balance Sheet Recognition The following table indicates the location on the balance sheet in which our derivative assets and liabilities have been recognized, and the related fair values of those derivatives as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 (in millions). The table is segregated between those derivative instruments that qualify and are designated as hedging instruments and those that are not, as well as by type of contract and whether the derivative is in an asset or liability position.   Asset Derivatives Balance Sheet Location   Fair Value Hierarchy Level   2012   2011 Derivatives designated as hedges:               Foreign exchange contracts Other current assets   Level 2   $ 27   $ 164 Interest rate contracts Other current assets   Level 2   1   — Foreign exchange contracts Other non-current assets   Level 2   14   — Interest rate contracts Other non-current assets   Level 2   420   401 Derivatives not designated as hedges:               Foreign exchange contracts Other current assets   Level 2   3   2 Interest rate contracts Other non-current assets   Level 2   101   82 Total Asset Derivatives         $ 566   $ 649                 Liability Derivatives Balance Sheet Location   Fair Value Hierarchy Level   2012   2011 Derivatives designated as hedges:               Foreign exchange contracts Other non-current liabilities   Level 2   103   185 Interest rate contracts Other non-current liabilities   Level 2   14   13 Derivatives not designated as hedges:               Foreign exchange contracts Other current liabilities   Level 2   1   — Interest rate contracts Other non-current liabilities   Level 2   41   10 Total Liability Derivatives         $ 159   $ 208 Income Statement Recognition The following table indicates the amount and location in the statements of consolidated income in which derivative gains and losses, as well as the related amounts reclassified from AOCI, have been recognized for those derivatives designated as cash flow hedges for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 (in millions): Derivative Instruments in Cash Flow Hedging Relationships   Amount of Gain (Loss) Recognized in OCI on Derivative (Effective Portion)   Location of Gain (Loss) Reclassified from Accumulated OCI into Income (Effective Portion)   Amount of Gain (Loss) Reclassified from Accumulated OCI into Income (Effective Portion)   2012   2011     2012   2011 Interest rate contracts   $ (71 )   $ (6 )   Interest Expense   $ (22 )   $ (19 ) Foreign exchange contracts   84   (85 )   Interest Expense   24   13 Foreign exchange contracts   (5 )   5   Other Operating Expense   —   — Foreign exchange contracts   (76 )   35   Revenue   61   (101 ) Commodity contracts   —   9   Fuel Expense   —   9 Total   $ (68 )   $ (42 )       $ 63   $ (98 ) As of December 31, 2012, $58 million of pre-tax losses related to cash flow hedges that are currently deferred in AOCI are expected to be reclassified to income over the 12 month period ended December 31, 2013. The actual amounts that will be reclassified to income over the next 12 months will vary from this amount as a result of changes in market conditions. The amount of ineffectiveness recognized in income on derivative instruments designated in cash flow hedging relationships was immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010. The following table indicates the amount and location in the statements of consolidated income in which derivative gains and losses, as well as the associated gains and losses on the underlying exposure, have been recognized for those derivatives designated as fair value hedges for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 (in millions): Derivative Instruments in Fair Value Hedging Relationships   Location of Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income   Amount of Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income   Hedged Items in Fair Value Hedging Relationships   Location of Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income   Amount of Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income     2012   2011       2012   2011 Interest rate contracts   Interest Expense   $ 20   $ 320   Fixed-Rate Debt and Capital Leases   Interest Expense   $ (20 )   $ (320 ) Additionally, we maintain some foreign exchange forward and interest rate swap contracts that are not designated as hedges. These foreign exchange forward contracts are intended to provide an economic offset to foreign currency remeasurement risks for certain assets and liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. These interest rate swap contracts are intended to provide an economic hedge of a portfolio of interest bearing receivables. The income statement impact of these hedges was not material for any period presented. We also periodically terminate interest rate swaps and foreign currency options by entering into offsetting swap and foreign currency positions with different counterparties. As part of this process, we de-designate our original swap and foreign currency contracts. These transactions provide an economic offset that effectively eliminates the effects of changes in market valuation. We have entered into several interest rate basis swaps, which effectively convert cash flows based on variable LIBOR-based interest rates to cash flows based on the prevailing federal funds interest rate. These swaps are not designated as hedges, and all amounts related to fair value changes and settlements are recorded to interest expense in the statements of consolidated income. The following is a summary of the amounts recorded in the statements of consolidated income related to fair value changes and settlements of these foreign currency forward and interest rate swap contracts not designated as hedges for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 (in millions): Derivative Instruments Not Designated in Hedging Relationships   Location of Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income   Amount of Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income     2012   2011 Foreign exchange contracts   Revenue   $ 2   $ — Foreign exchange contracts   Other Operating Expenses   19   2 Foreign exchange contracts   Investment Income   (22 )   — Interest rate contracts   Interest Expense   (12 )   (8 ) Total       $ (13 )   $ (6 ) Fair Value Measurements Our foreign currency, interest rate and energy derivatives are largely comprised of over-the-counter derivatives, which are primarily valued using pricing models that rely on market observable inputs such as yield curves, currency exchange rates and commodity forward prices, and therefore are classified as Level 2.

RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND BUSINESS DISPOSITIONS	12 Months Ended

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND BUSINESS DISPOSITIONS	RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND BUSINESS DISPOSITIONS We have incurred restructuring costs associated with the termination of employees, facility consolidations and other costs directly related to restructuring initiatives. These initiatives have resulted from the integration of acquired companies, as well as restructuring activities associated with cost containment and operational efficiency programs. Additionally, we have sold or shut-down certain non-core business units in 2010, and recorded gains or losses upon the sale, as well as costs associated with each transaction. Supply Chain & Freight—Germany In February 2010, we completed the sale of a specialized transportation and express freight business in Germany within our Supply Chain & Freight segment. As part of the sale transaction, we incurred certain costs associated with employee severance payments, other employee benefits, transition services, and leases on operating facilities and equipment. Additionally, we provided a guarantee for a period of two years from the date of sale for certain employee benefit payments being assumed by the buyer. We recorded a pre-tax loss of $51 million ($47 million after-tax) for this transaction in 2010, which included the costs associated with the sale transaction and the fair value of the guarantee. This loss is recorded in the caption “other expenses” in the statements of consolidated income. Supply Chain & Freight—United States In December 2010, we completed the sale of our UPS Logistics Technologies, Inc. business unit, which produced transportation routing and fleet management systems. We recognized a $71 million pre-tax gain on the sale ($44 million after tax), which is included in the caption “other expenses” in the consolidated income statement, and is included in the results of our Supply Chain & Freight segment. The operating results of the UPS Logistics Technologies, Inc business unit were not material to our consolidated or segment operating results in any of the periods presented. U.S. Domestic Package Restructuring In an effort to improve performance in the U.S. Domestic Package segment, we announced a program to streamline our domestic management structure in January 2010. As part of this restructuring, we reduced the number of domestic districts and regions in our U.S. small package operation in order to better align our operations geographically and allow more local decision-making and resources to be deployed for our customers. Effective in April 2010, we reduced our U.S. regions from five to three and our U.S. districts from 46 to 20. The restructuring eliminated approximately 1,800 management and administrative positions in the U.S. Approximately 1,100 employees were offered voluntary severance packages, while other impacted employees received severance benefits based on length of service, and access to support programs. We recorded a pre-tax charge of $98 million ($64 million after-tax) in the first quarter of 2010 related to the costs of this program, which reflects the value of voluntary retirement benefits, severance benefits and unvested stock compensation. During the remainder of 2010, we incurred additional costs related to the relocation of employees and other restructuring activities, however those costs were offset by savings from the staffing reductions.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On January 30, 2013, the European Commission issued a formal decision prohibiting our proposed acquisition of TNT Express N.V. ("TNT Express"). As a result of the prohibition by the European Commission, the condition of our offer requiring European Union competition clearance was not fulfilled, and our proposed acquisition of TNT Express could not be completed. Given this outcome, UPS and TNT Express entered a separate agreement to terminate the merger protocol, and we withdrew our formal offer for TNT Express. Under this termination agreement, we have paid a break-up fee to TNT Express of €200 million (approximately $268 million) in the first quarter of 2013. In January 2013, we purchased the noncontrolling interest in our joint venture that operates in the Middle East, Turkey, and portions of the Central Asia region (see note 9), for $70 million. After this transaction, we own 100% of this entity.

This charge reduced the operating profit for the U.S. Domestic Package segment by $896 million, net income by $559 million and basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.58. Operating profit for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 was impacted by a mark-to-market loss on our pension and postretirement benefit plans related to the remeasurement of plan assets and liabilities recognized outside of a 10% corridor of $4.831 billion (allocated as follows—U.S. Domestic Package $3.177 billion, International Package $941 million, Supply Chain & Freight $713 million). This loss reduced net income by $3.023 billion, and basic and diluted earnings per share by $3.16. Operating profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 was impacted by gains and losses on certain real estate transactions, including a $15 million loss in the U.S. Domestic Package segment and a $48 million gain in the Supply Chain & Freight segment. The combined impact of these transactions increased net income by $20 million, and basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.02. Operating profit for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 was impacted by a mark-to-market loss on our pension and postretirement benefit plans related to the remeasurement of plan assets and liabilities recognized outside of a 10% corridor of $827 million (allocated as follows—U.S. Domestic Package $479 million, International Package $171 million, Supply Chain & Freight $177 million). This loss reduced net income by $527 million, and basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.54.

SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	12 Months Ended
Dec. 31, 2012
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Financial Statements and Business Activities	Basis of Financial Statements and Business Activities The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), and include the accounts of United Parcel Service, Inc., and all of its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively “UPS” or the “Company”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. UPS concentrates its operations in the field of transportation services, primarily domestic and international letter and package delivery. Through our Supply Chain & Freight subsidiaries, we are also a global provider of specialized transportation, logistics, and financial services.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingencies. Estimates have been prepared on the basis of the most current and best information, and actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition U.S. Domestic and International Package Operations—Revenue is recognized upon delivery of a letter or package. Forwarding and Logistics—Freight forwarding revenue and the expense related to the transportation of freight are recognized at the time the services are performed. Material management and distribution revenue is recognized upon performance of the service provided. Customs brokerage revenue is recognized upon completing documents necessary for customs entry purposes. Freight—Revenue is recognized upon delivery of a less-than-truckload (“LTL”) or truckload (“TL”) shipment. We utilize independent contractors and third-party carriers in the performance of some transportation services. In situations where we act as principal party to the transaction, we recognize revenue on a gross basis; in circumstances where we act as an agent, we recognize revenue net of the cost of the purchased transportation. Financial Services—Income on loans and direct finance leases is recognized on the effective interest method. Accrual of interest income is suspended at the earlier of the time at which collection of an account becomes doubtful or the account becomes 90 days delinquent. Income on operating leases is recognized on the straight-line method over the terms of the underlying leases.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cash. We consider securities with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount of these securities approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Investments	Investments Marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value, with related unrealized gains and losses reported, net of tax, as accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), a separate component of shareowners’ equity. The amortized cost of debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Such amortization and accretion is included in investment income, along with interest and dividends. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method; realized gains and losses resulting from such sales are included in investment income. We periodically review our investments for indications of other than temporary impairment considering many factors, including the extent and duration to which a security’s fair value has been less than its cost, overall economic and market conditions and the financial condition and specific prospects for the issuer. Impairment of investment securities results in a charge to income when a market decline below cost is other than temporary.
Accounts Receivable	Accounts Receivable Losses on accounts receivable are recognized when they are incurred, which requires us to make our best estimate of the probable losses inherent in our customer receivables at each balance sheet date. These estimates require consideration of historical loss experience, adjusted for current conditions, trends in customer payment frequency, and judgments about the probable effects of relevant observable data, including present economic conditions and the financial health of specific customers and market sectors. Our risk management process includes standards and policies for reviewing major account exposures and concentrations of risk. Our total allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $127 and $117 million, respectively. Our total provision for doubtful accounts charged to expense during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $155, $147 and $199 million, respectively.
Inventories	Inventories Jet fuel, diesel, and unleaded gasoline inventories are valued at the lower of average cost or market. Fuel and other materials and supplies inventories are recognized as inventory when purchased, and then charged to expense when used in our operations. Total inventories were $393 and $345 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and are included in “other current assets” on the consolidated balance sheet.
Property, Plant and Equipment	Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are as follows: Vehicles—6 to 15 years; Aircraft—12 to 30 years; Buildings—20 to 40 years; Leasehold Improvements—terms of leases; Plant Equipment—6 to 8.25 years; Technology Equipment—3 to 5 years. The costs of major airframe and engine overhauls, as well as routine maintenance and repairs, are charged to expense as incurred. Interest incurred during the construction period of certain property, plant and equipment is capitalized until the underlying assets are placed in service, at which time amortization of the capitalized interest begins, straight-line, over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Capitalized interest was $18, $17 and $18 million for 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively. We review long-lived assets for impairment when circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable based on the undiscounted future cash flows of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset is determined not to be recoverable, a write-down to fair value is recorded. Fair values are determined based on quoted market values, discounted cash flows, or external appraisals, as applicable. We review long-lived assets for impairment at the individual asset or the asset group level for which the lowest level of independent cash flows can be identified.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Intangible Assets Costs of purchased businesses in excess of net identifiable assets acquired (goodwill), and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually, unless changes in circumstances indicate an impairment may have occurred sooner. We are required to test goodwill on a “reporting unit” basis. A reporting unit is the operating segment unless, for businesses within that operating segment, discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by management, in which case such a component business is the reporting unit. In assessing goodwill for impairment, we initially evaluate qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. We consider several factors, including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, changes in management, strategy or customers, and relevant reporting unit specific events such as a change in the carrying amount of net assets, a more-likely-than-not expectation of selling or disposing all, or a portion, of a reporting unit, and the testing for recoverability of a significant asset group within a reporting unit. If this qualitative assessment results in a conclusion that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value, then no further testing is performed for that reporting unit. If the qualitative assessment is not conclusive and it is necessary to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit, then we utilize a two-step process to test goodwill for impairment. First, a comparison of the fair value of the applicable reporting unit with the aggregate carrying value, including goodwill, is performed. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its calculated fair value, then the second step is performed, and an impairment charge is recognized for the amount, if any, by which the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. We primarily determine the fair value of our reporting units using a discounted cash flow model, and supplement this with observable valuation multiples for comparable companies, as applicable. Finite-lived intangible assets, including trademarks, licenses, patents, customer lists, non-compete agreements and franchise rights are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 2 to 20 years. Capitalized software is amortized over periods ranging from 3 to 5 years.
Self-Insurance Accruals	Self-Insurance Accruals We self-insure costs associated with workers’ compensation claims, automotive liability, health and welfare, and general business liabilities, up to certain limits. Insurance reserves are established for estimates of the loss that we will ultimately incur on reported claims, as well as estimates of claims that have been incurred but not yet reported. Recorded balances are based on reserve levels, which incorporate historical loss experience and judgments about the present and expected levels of cost per claim.
Pension and Postretirement Benefits	Pension and Postretirement Benefits We incur certain employment-related expenses associated with pension and postretirement medical benefits. These pension and postretirement medical benefit costs for company-sponsored benefit plans are calculated using various actuarial assumptions and methodologies, including discount rates, expected returns on plan assets, health care cost trend rates, inflation, compensation increase rates, mortality rates, and other factors. Actuarial assumptions are reviewed on an annual basis, unless circumstances require an interim remeasurement date for any of our plans. We recognize changes in the fair value of plan assets and net actuarial gains or losses in excess of a corridor (defined as 10% of the greater of the fair value of plan assets or the plans' projected benefit obligations) in pension expense annually at December 31st each year. The remaining components of pension expense, primarily service and interest costs and the expected return on plan assets, are recorded on a quarterly basis. We participate in a number of trustee-managed multiemployer pension and health and welfare plans for employees covered under collective bargaining agreements. Our contributions to these plans are determined in accordance with the respective collective bargaining agreements. We recognize expense for the contractually required contribution for each period, and we recognize a liability for any contributions due and unpaid (included in “other current liabilities”).
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for on an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, we generally consider all expected future events other than proposed changes in the tax law or rates. Valuation allowances are provided if it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. We recognize liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. Once it is determined that the position meets the recognition threshold, the second step requires us to estimate and measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. It is inherently difficult and subjective to estimate such amounts, as we have to determine the probability of various possible outcomes. We reevaluate these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis. This evaluation is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, effectively settled issues under audit, and new audit activity. Such a change in recognition or measurement could result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision.
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign Currency Translation We translate the results of operations of our foreign subsidiaries using average exchange rates during each period, whereas balance sheet accounts are translated using exchange rates at the end of each period. Balance sheet currency translation adjustments are recorded in AOCI. Currency transaction gains and losses, net of hedging, included in other operating expenses were pre-tax gains (losses) of $10, $(1) and $7 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation All share-based awards to employees are measured based on their fair values and expensed over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (the vesting period). We issue employee share-based awards under the UPS Incentive Compensation Plan that are subject to specific vesting conditions; generally, the awards cliff vest or vest ratably over a three or five year period, “the nominal vesting period,” or at the date the employee retires (as defined by the plan), if earlier. Compensation cost is recognized immediately for awards granted to retirement-eligible employees, or over the period from the grant date to the date retirement eligibility is achieved, if that is expected to occur during the nominal vesting period.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements Our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis have been categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy. Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are based on other observable market data, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, such as interest rates and yield curves. Level 3 inputs are developed from unobservable data reflecting our own assumptions, and include situations where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability. Certain non-financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, including property, plant, and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets. These assets are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis; however, they are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of an impairment. A general description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, including the general classification of such assets and liabilities pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is included in each footnote with fair value measurements present.
Derivative Instruments	Derivative Instruments All financial derivative instruments are recorded on our consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Derivatives not designated as hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If a derivative is designated as a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in its fair value that are considered to be effective, as defined, either offset the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments through income, or are recorded in AOCI until the hedged item is recorded in income. Any portion of a change in a hedge’s fair value that is considered to be ineffective, or is excluded from the measurement of effectiveness, is recorded immediately in income.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards	Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an Accounting Standards Update to disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. These amendments, which became effective for us in the first quarter of 2012, result in a common definition of fair value and common measurement and disclosure requirements between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. Consequently, the amendments change some fair value measurement principles and disclosure requirements. The implementation of this amended accounting guidance had an immaterial impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations. In June 2011, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update that increases the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income in the financial statements. This update requires companies to present comprehensive income in a single statement below net income or in a separate statement of comprehensive income immediately following the income statement. This requirement became effective for us beginning with the first quarter of 2012, and we have included the required presentation in all applicable filings since that date. In July 2012, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update that added an optional qualitative assessment for determining whether an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. The objective of this update is to reduce the cost and complexity of performing an impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets by allowing an entity the option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of an intangible impairment to determine whether it should calculate the fair value of the asset. This accounting standards update also amends existing guidance by expanding upon the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider between annual impairment tests in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. We adopted this accounting standard update and applied its provisions to certain of our intangible assets for our annual impairment testing as of October 1, 2012. Other accounting pronouncements adopted during the periods covered by the consolidated financial statements had an immaterial impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective	Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective In February 2013, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that adds new disclosure requirements for items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. This update requires that companies present either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements, the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source (e.g., the release due to cash flow hedges from interest rate contracts) and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification (e.g., interest income or interest expense). If a component is not required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety (e.g., the net periodic pension cost), companies would instead cross reference to the related footnote for additional information (e.g., the pension footnote). This update is effective for us beginning in the first quarter of 2013. Other accounting pronouncements issued, but not effective until after December 31, 2012, are not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Changes in Presentation	Changes in Presentation Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on our financial position or results of operations.
