Seriously none.
Any negatives?
Everything. Speed of shipping. Lack of decent tracking. Updates few and far between. Packages always late.
Overall
I hate this service. It’s the worst one out there. Packages are said to be “handed to USPS” yet continue to show processing through the mail innovations facility for over a week. Parcels show as being in two different states at the same time so any accurate tracking is a joke.
Items ordered arrive a week late at least.
Awful.

Worst possible option
What were the positives?
There are none. They positively are the bottom dwellers of the shipping world.
Any negatives?
Everything, horrible pricing, horrible service. Packages take at least three times longer to arrive, if they arrive at all.
Overall
It's sad ebayers trust this service because all of the ones I know who use this company, have gotten poor feedback on speed of delivery..I can't see how anyone even uses these folks given the 1 star feedbacks I see all over the next. One 5 star review, was actually written up as a bad review. If you looking for a shipping partner, go the opposite end of this farce and you will do much better.

Everything about this place sucks. It should not even exist. Cheaper? I doubt it since if your retailer uses this service for delivery you will never buy anything from them again

Extremely late delivery. I could have driven to the place of origin to get my package in less time. Took 14 days to receive a small package, and it STARTED OUT in the DESTINATION CITY, went back and forth to 3 different regional places in opposite ends of the state. WORTHLESS service. Will demand FedEx for all future shipments.

NEGATIVE. DO NOT USE.

Still waiting on a Christmas gift that should have arrived at least a week ago. Supposedly, the package is at the post office here in my city, but no one can verify that.
Overall
Think twice before purchasing from anyone who uses this service for shipping, particularly if you are expecting your purchase to arrive within a certain time period, or arrive at all, for that matter.

Items go missing, no tracking updates, SLOW, no customer support, ITEMS GO MISSING!
Overall
There is no worse shipping method then innovations. The name sounds like an attraction at Disneyworld and makes you wait even longer! Ive had items shipped via innovations 2, one took over 3 weeks the other disappeared and neither UPS or USPS knows where it is or can help. UPS needs to go back to delivering their own packages and cut out the second party....

Ends up in a black hole
The problem with UPS "Mail Innovations" is it's only innovative from the standpoint of its cost to UPS. It may drop the price for the shipping customer, but all this at the cost of the delivery customer who ends up with little information on what planet the package is on. What will happen is, when UPS hands the package off to USPS, USPS likely won't scan it at that point, because they'll often skip that step if they can-- at which point you've got no further information on it until it arrives somewhere where a parcel scan is necessary, likely only once it's delivered. So from the time UPS hands it off until it arrives (IF it does), it goes into a black hole. And in California, it appears that innovations packages will go to UPS in San Leandro, who will then transport them to Eureka, CA to hand it off to USPS, and Eureka is in the far north corner of the state, a couple of hundred miles north of San Leandro, which could easily be further away from the target address. USPS is then expected to take it from there-- at which point you can only hope it'll arrive and have no indication of when or where it is in the system. And then, who blames who if it doesn't arrive? Sellers that choose to use this method will then end up with a lot of negative reviews due to long delays or missing packages. Is it really worth it?

Worst Idea Ever...
I don't know who the genius is that came up with this lame idea, but they need to be fired. If you as a seller are so dang lazy that you can't be bothered to take something to the post office, please close your business down.
This shipping service adds DAYS to the delivery time. If an item is actually mailed at a post office, it will arrive a minimum of 3 days faster than if you use the lame UPS Mail Innovations (and there is NOTHING innovative about this service AT ALL).
UPS isn't even a good delivery service with their own system, and this one makes them look even worse. Do yourself and your customers a favor and stop using this service.
The postal service WILL pick packages up at your business for free - just like UPS. The difference is that there will be no delay or added shipping time, because lame UPS is not involved.
