UPS with ShippingEasy

UPS Integration Requirements

Connection Requirements:

An active UPS account
UPS account number
Rate Type
Most recent invoice

Shipment Requirements:

UPS requires a Ship From Company Name. Read the Assign Ship From Addresses Guide to learn more.
UPS uses dimensional weight (DIM) when calculating rates. When creating the label, always include the shipment's dimensions and weight to receive the correct rates. Incorrect weight or dimensions may result in post-shipping adjustments on your UPS invoice.

Connect UPS to ShippingEasy

To connect a UPS account to ShippingEasy:

Click CARRIER FUNDS from the left side navigation.
Click the Connect UPS button.
Under UPS Account Information, insert your UPS Account Number (also known as your UPS Shipper Number).
Choose the Rate Type from the drop-down:
- Customer Counter
- Daily Pickup
- One Time Pickup
You can change your pickup options, or schedule a pickup, via your UPS account settings. Learn more about UPS pickup options.
Specify the Return Shipment Method you want to use for return labels.
Check the box for UPS SurePost enabled if your UPS account includes SurePost services. Learn more about SurePost.
Next, enter the "UPS Invoice Information" for your account. Use a paper or downloaded invoice from within the past 45 days and carefully insert this data.

Tip

When entering the Invoice Amount, omit the $ sign and only enter a numeric value. Ex: 20.16.
Check Yes, I Have Negotiated Rates if this is set up on UPS. This will allow UPS to return your rates on the ORDERS page for your shipments. If rates are not enabled, you will receive a warning message that negotiated rates on the account are not enabled. Learn more about UPS negotiated rates.
Verify your "Company Details". Please ensure the contact details entered match exactly what is on your UPS invoice. UPS is especially particular on the data entry for two specific fields:
- Postal Code: only enter the first 5 digits of the billing zip code. Ex: 78765
- Phone Number: enter with all numerical digits - no dashes/hyphens/spaces. Ex: 5555555555
Review the "Terms and Conditions". Once finished, scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page and select the Yes, I accept this agreement.
Click Connect Account.

Important

UPS has a very sensitive authentication process. Be sure to enter the required information carefully, paying careful attention to punctuation and capitalization. If you have 3 failed connection attempts, your account will be locked out for a 24 hour period.

Special Considerations for UPS

Prohibited items, restrictions, and dangerous/hazardous goods:

UPS has set forth specific restrictions on goods shipped using UPS from ShippingEasy. It is the shipper's responsibility to ensure their shipments do not violate these UPS guidelines. Violation of these restrictions may result in your ShippingEasy account being banned from using UPS from ShippingEasy.
Shipping Vape Products may result in your ShippingEasy account being banned from using UPS from ShippingEasy and a $150 fine per package.

Multiple UPS Accounts

Add multiple UPS accounts in two ways:

Sub Accounts: Provide a method for using multiple carrier accounts and are particularly helpful for fulfillment companies. Learn more about carrier Sub Accounts.
Third-Party Billing: Allow you to direct postage costs to a third party. Learn more about Third Party Billing.

Adding Insurance to UPS Shipments

When using negotiated rates, insurance costs will display within the total rate.
When negotiated rates are not used, the insurance cost will be broken out in the total rate.

Saturday Delivery

Enable this option for guaranteed package delivery on a Saturday. You must select this option to guarantee Saturday delivery. If this option is not selected, the package will not be eligible for a UPS Guaranteed Service refund, even if the estimated delivery date shows an estimated delivery on a Saturday.

See the UPS page on Saturday Delivery for more information and restrictions.

UPS Rate and Billing Information

Once you create a shipment, you are billed by UPS directly based on the rates you negotiated with UPS.
When a package is delivered, the mail carrier will determine the final cost, including any surcharges. If you are being charged a different amount in UPS from what is shown in ShippingEasy, there may be additional surcharges for your shipment. Learn more about UPS surcharges.
The rates you receive for UPS are only quotes. UPS reserves the right to add additional fees to a shipment after delivery.

Customs Forms with UPS Paperless Invoicing

UPS Paperless Invoicing is a free service that eliminates the need for paper invoices by electronically transferring your international shipping information to UPS, thereby expediting the clearance process for Customs officials. Contact your UPS representative to have this enabled.
International labels will have "EDI" on the label in lieu of printing customs forms.
UPS Paperless Invoicing also provides an electronic Certificate of Origin for shipments to and from the United States and Canada. The Certificate can help you get preferential duty treatment.
When shipping First Class International Mail to any destination, or Priority Mail International to Military Mail and U.S. Territories, the total value of the shipment cannot be more than $400. The value would need to be adjusted or, depending on the package details, the order could be split.

UPS Paperless Invoice Labels Must Be Shipped Within 14 Days

UPS requires international packages that use paperless invoicing (EDI) be shipped within 14 days of creating the label. This ensures the shipment details are still in their system during the parcel’s transit to its destination. If a package has not been shipped within 14 days of label creation, UPS recommends voiding the label and creating a new one to decrease the chances of holds at customs.

Disconnect a Carrier

To disconnect a UPS account from ShippingEasy, follow these steps:

Click CARRIER FUNDS in the sidebar of the app.

Click Manage Account under the UPS account.
Click the Disconnect button on the Manage Your Account Settings page.
