Ely, Minnesota, with a population of approximately 3,390 residents, is a small city located in St. Louis County.

UPS operates in Ely as part of its broader service in Minnesota, supported by a network of regional distribution centers. The weather plays a crucial role in delivery schedules, particularly during the winter when temperatures can drop significantly, and snowfall may lead to delayed deliveries.
