ParcelPath offers UPS shipping with pre-negotiated rates and additional discounts for our clients.
Creating a UPS label on ParcelPath is simple. Go to the top of the screen and click on the orange button labeled “Create Shipment.” From the drop-down, choose “Single Shipment.” Once on this page, you will select UPS for the shipping carrier. Now enter your recipient address information and fill out the package information and the shipping date. Now continue to “Select Service” to see the rates.
Now that you are on the select service page, you will see that UPS Ground is set as the default shipping option because it is the cheapest. This UPS® Ground service is a drop-down menu and will give all options of UPS services, associated rates, and delivery day estimates.
Delivery times for items exported from within the US:
UPS Worldwide Saver® – This option offers Guaranteed 1-3 day delivery by the end of the day. Next day to Canada, two days to Mexico, Latin America, and Europe, and three days to the Middle East, Europe, and Asia.
UPS Worldwide Express® – This service offers delivery of packages to 140 countries and territories. It is a good option for international shipping that needs to be timely. This priority level is not the fastest option or the slowest option. Still, it is a cost-effective and time-sensitive option.
All UPS packages shipped on ParcelPath come with a tracking number located on your shipments page under shipping on the left-hand side of the website. You can click on the tracking number, and it will take you to the full description of your package in transit. You can also copy the tracking number that always starts with 1Z and paste it into the tracking application on UPS.com.
All UPS shipping labels purchased on ParcelPath have $100 of declared value included in the cost of shipping. See our section on filing a claim to learn more about what is needed to collect on your decalred value claim.
If you would like UPS to come to your house and pick up your packages, this is easy with ParcelPath. Having a package picked up is not free, but it can be a great convenience when needed. To schedule a pickup, go to Shipping>Schedule A Pickup. At the top, click on “Create Pickup” and then select UPS under carrier information. Now you can use your primary location or set up an alternate pickup location. Then click Schedule at the bottom.
UPS has over 22,000 locations in the US where you can drop off your packages. There is no cost to drop at The UPS Store®, UPS Drop Boxes, and Access Point® locations. You can drop off shipments at Advanced Auto Parts, CVS Pharmacy, Michaels, and many independent shipping companies like mail boxes etc.
It is easy to refund a UPS package on ParcelPath. Go to “Shipping” on the left-hand side of the site and click on “Shipments.” Here you will see all of your packages listed. At the right of the shipment, you will see a tab called “Actions.” Under the actions tab, click on the Eye icon and scroll to the bottom of that page. Simply click the “Refund” button, and you are done.
Note: Refunded packages have a 15-day hold on funds used to purchase the shipment. At the end of 15 days, you will see the credit added to your ParcelPath account. This hold is because the label is still active and can still be used.
