Acceptance times

All shipments must be accepted and processed before the drop off times listed. Please allow enough time to arrive at the cargo facility, tender your shipment with the agent and complete the acceptance process. Peak times may result in longer lines and more processing time. Shipments that complete the tender process and are accepted after the drop off time will be booked on the next available flight.

Acceptance times may vary by location. See station information for specific drop-off locations and times.

* The gateway location is the station where the shipment is loaded on an international flight.
** United’s U.S. hub locations are DEN, EWR, IAD, IAH, LAX, ORD and SFO. Extra handling time is required for hazardous materials.
