Understanding UPS Tracking: A Comprehensive Guide
UPS tracking allows customers to follow the delivery progress of their shipments through status updates generated when a package is scanned at different stages of the shipping process. These stages may include shipment acceptance, transit between facilities, out for delivery, and final delivery.
UPS tracking information is provided by UPS and is accessible through carrier communications such as shipping confirmation emails, delivery notifications, and order-related messages sent by the seller.
How Shippity Helps You Organize UPS Tracking Information
Shippity helps you organize UPS tracking information by scanning your connected email inbox for commercial and transactional messages, such as shipping confirmations and delivery updates that include UPS tracking details.
When tracking information is present in those emails, Shippity extracts and displays it in one place, allowing you to review shipment status without manually searching through your inbox or carrier websites.
Shippity does not integrate directly with UPS, does not generate tracking updates, and does not modify delivery information. All tracking details shown in the app are based solely on the content of the emails you receive.
Benefits of Using UPS Tracking with Shippity
UPS tracking provides event-based shipment updates that help you understand where your package is and what stage of delivery it has reached. This improves transparency and helps set clearer delivery expectations.
By viewing UPS tracking information in one centralized place through Shippity, you can more easily monitor multiple shipments using the tracking details already available in your emails.
How UPS Shipment Information Appears in Shippity
After you connect your email inbox, Shippity automatically detects UPS-related tracking information when it is included in shipment-related emails you receive from sellers or UPS.
Shippity may display information such as the tracking number, shipment status, and delivery confirmation when these details are present in the email content. The level of information available depends on what UPS or the sender includes in their messages.
UPS Tracking Delays and Common Situations
UPS tracking updates may sometimes appear delayed or unchanged for a period of time. This can happen due to operational delays, weather conditions, or gaps between carrier scans.
If tracking information does not update for several days, you should refer to the most recent email received from the seller or contact UPS directly for further assistance. Shippity does not have access to UPS systems and cannot investigate delivery issues on your behalf.
Using UPS Tracking Responsibly
Shippity acts as an organizational tool that helps users manage order and tracking information received by email. It does not replace UPS or the seller and does not handle delivery changes, disputes, refunds, or shipment investigations.
For delivery issues, address changes, or missing shipments, users should always contact the seller or UPS directly.
