(Reuters) – United Parcel Service Inc (NYSE:UPS) on Tuesday reported a higher quarterly adjusted profit on the back of lucrative deliveries, offsetting a decline in e-commerce volumes.

As domestic deliveries started to recede, delivery firms such as UPS and FedEx Corp (NYSE:FDX) pivoted to higher-paying small businesses and enterprise customers to drive volumes and earnings.

E-commerce shipments fell from pandemic highs as COVID safety protocols lifted and shoppers reprioritized spending due to higher rent, food and fuel costs.

Atlanta-based UPS posted second-quarter adjusted earnings of $3.29 per share, compared with $3.06 per share a year earlier.

Revenue rose 5.7% to $24.76 billion.
