Considerations for shipping packages with UPS

Review the following considerations when using Shopify Shipping with UPS:

• UPS doesn't support PO box addresses as the shipping origin.
• UPS doesn't support PO box addresses as the shipping destination, except for UPS Ground Saver.
• UPS labels aren't available for shipping origin addresses in Puerto Rico. If you're based in Puerto Rico and want to use UPS, then you canadd UPS as a third-party shipping carrier.
• UPS only ships from the continental United States. This excludes the United States territories such as Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Alaska.
• UPS pickups are only available in the continental United States.

UPS registered return address requirements

UPS uses its own method for validating shipping addresses. Make sure that any address that you use meets UPS's requirements.

• The address is not a PO box- UPS cannot process shipments from a PO box through Shopify Shipping.
• The phone number is in the correct format- Include the area code as part of the phone number. For example, 123-456-7890.
• The address is in a supported location- UPS仅限于从大陆运输United States. You can't use UPS to ship from Puerto Rico with Shopify Shipping. If your business is based in Puerto Rico and you want to use UPS, thenadd UPS as a third-party shipping carrier.

If an address meets all the requirements, but still isn't accepted, thencontact Shopify support.

Return addresses

The first time that you purchase a UPS label through Shopify Shipping, you are prompted to enter a return address. If a UPS shipment needs to be returned or was rejected by the receiver, then UPS delivers the shipment to the return address that you entered during setup, not the return address on the label.
