  • Document Formatting All shipments must be uploaded in documents formatted in CSV (comma separated values) or SSV (semi-colon separated values). Download the template here.
  • Address and Payment The origin address and payment method must be the same for all shipments. (Destination addresses can be different.)
  • Multi-Piece Shipments Multi-piece shipments cannot be processed using a batch import file.

FAQ

What if my CSV or SSV document contains an error?
Shipments containing errors cannot be processed. The system will import the shipments and display the imported shipment on screen. The customer will have the ability to see which shipments have errors and edit/correct individual shipments.
false
What is a common formatting error for the CSV import file?
The import file must include the comma/semi-colon delimiter, even for optional fields. Column headers should not be included.
false
Can I still import a batch of shipments to instantly create a bunch of labels?
Absolutely! Select Batch File Shipping from the ups.com shipping menu just like you always have. The procedure to create up to 100 shipments at once by importing a CSV (comma-separated value) or SSV (semi-colon-separated value) file format has not changed.

When I import a batch of shipments, what does the ‘Preview Batch’ button do?

By clicking Preview Batch, you’ll see a quick overview of each shipment that you’ve imported before you print your labels. With the Shipping Basket, you can make changes to any specific shipment before you print the label. So if you need, you can add options like Weekend Delivery or Hold at a UPS Access Point location, to a shipment without having to delete then re-import the whole batch. The Shipping Basket also allows you to take care of any errors we found in your batch file – so you no longer need to fix the error in your batch file then re-import it.

Additional Features:

  • The system will provide the ability to import up to ten batch files. (A max of 100 shipment still applies)
  • The system will provide the ability to view all the imported shipments, and skip one or multiple shipments, which would exclude them from being processed when the customer clicks ‘Process all’.
