Will we ever be able to print an end of day scannable form for the UPS drivers to scan when picking up? This is a real issue for us especially over the holidays. But drivers will not always scan every package for us, especially when there are over 600 packages. We get one for the USPS but why is it not possible for UPS via Shipstation?
End of Day Scan for UPS via Shipstation
Hello, I am not sure that this is completely a Shipstation issue. I think it is more UPS not allowing access to thier data to complete this task. UPS wants us to use their shipping software. We had to work with UPS for sometime to get them to scan our packages. We don’t do a large number on a daily basis, so keep that in mind.
Hi
All UPS shipment data is submitted electronically to UPS. The carrier does not generate a scannable form.
You can print your daily shipment manifest of UPS shipments, but again that is not scannable.
More info on Shipment Manifests can be found here under “Manifest Details by Carrier.”
Thanks!
Hi Melanie, Yes the infromation is submitted to UPS but this does not prove that UPS picked up the package. If a package is lost and or damaged, we can not use that for a claim. Also if the package is not scanned by UPS the customer has no idea if the package has even been shipped or if it is in transit. This is why it is important that we can have a scannable EOD Form for UPS, without this form we as the shipper have no recourse. Thank you.
