The flag of the United Parcel Service, or UPS, I see flown at the company's distribution center in Newington, Virginia, as I drive past it going to and from work each day.  The flag features the brown and gold UPS logo centered on a white field.

Both the white and brown flags of the United Parcel Service are based on the current corporate logo, adopted in 2003. 
The company had a different flag prior to that, incorporating the UPS logo that was adopted in 1961.  That logo features 
a simplified white shield outlined in brown with the letters "ups" in brown within the shield.  Above the shield is a white box outlined and quartered in brown with a brown bow in the center, simulating a package to be shipped by the service.
The UPS flag prior to 2003 featured the 1961 logo in brown on a white field.  It can be seen with the American flag in a pin for sale on www.ebay.com).
