(Fixes bullet point formatting) By Abhinav Parmar and Lisa Baertlein Jan 27 (Reuters) - United Parcel Service will eliminate up to 30,000 jobs and shut another 24 facilities in 2026, the world's largest package delivery company said on Tuesday,

UPS plans up to 30,000 job cuts and 24 facility closures in 2026 as it scales back Amazon volume, accelerates automation, and targets higher-margin work.

The UPS layoffs in 2026 are a result of the organization’s dialing down its business with Amazon, duplicating the 48,000 cuts made last year.

The delivery company said it was planning the cuts this year because it expected to deliver fewer packages for Amazon, a large but unprofitable customer.

UPS executive said the delivery company is moving to cut costs and plans to offer a voluntary separation program for full-time drivers.

The reductions come after the shipping giant eliminated 48,000 positions in 2025.

The United Parcel Service, more commonly known as UPS, announced Tuesday that it was planning to eliminate an additional 30,000 jobs in 2026. The company eliminated about 48,000 jobs in 2025, 34,000 of which were operational and 14,000 of which were management.
