An approved shipper account number needs to be associated with the User ID used to connect UPS with SKULabs by following these steps:

1. Find the latest UPS invoice, it has to be one of your last 3 invoices and not older than 90 days:

  • Log in to UPS Billing Center

  • Select Invoice tab from Overview page

2. Add UPS Shipper Account Number to Payment Options:

  • Click on your profile name at the top right corner of UPS.com

  • Click on Payment Options

  • Select Add Existing Account from the drop down and Click Add

  • Enter the account number, Name, and Postal code and Click Next

  • Enter the Invoice information

  • Use the first page of the invoice, not the invoice summary

  • Invoice number (include all leading zeroes)

  • Invoice date (enter as is on the invoice i.e 01/18/2020)

  • Invoice amount (do not include the $ sign)
