If you subscribe to UPS MyChoice, you have the option to upgrade the UPS SurePost package to UPS Ground with an additional fee. Once upgraded, MyChoice members regain all access to the Membership features which include UPS tracking order, rescheduling, or redirecting delivery. Upgraded packages are usually delivered 1 to 2 days faster as well.

To perform a USPS tracking order, you can visit Parcel Monitor USPS Tracking page, provide the USPS tracking number or other reference numbers to locate the package. With Parcel Monitor, you can track all your USPS packages with real-time updates. All you need is your USPS tracking number! USPS provides local and international courier services at affordable rates.
With an additional fee, My Choice members are able to upgrade UPS SurePost packages to UPS Ground. The upgraded service will allow you to track UPS packages as usual. Packages upgraded to UPS Ground service may also arrive a day or two earlier.
What is a UPS Access Point?
A UPS Access Point is a selected location where it is convenient for the customers to pick up their parcels. UPS Access Points are usually located at grocery stores or petrol stations. With this delivery option, you will not get your UPS packages right at your front door. However, it will be more efficient if you wish to receive your package at a specific time that suits you. If you frequent the UPS Access Point for shopping or other purposes, it will not take additional time for you to receive your UPS packages.
Once your package arrives at UPS Access Point, you will get a notification via email or SMS. An identification document with a photo will be required to collect the goods. You can also drop off labeled and prepaid UPS Returns parcels at any UPS Access Point location. Any package dropped off at a UPS Access Point location must not exceed 20 kg in weight or 80 cm in length and must already include a UPS prepaid shipping label.
Do you cover UPS freight tracking?
Yes, the customer is able to track UPS freight packages just as they can with the UPS Ground service. A PRO or BOL number will be needed for freight tracking. Same as ground packages, type your tracking ID in the tracking field at upsfreight.com or its mobile application, you will see the package’s latest status and estimated delivery date.

A UPS shipment reference is an identification number that you get by completing the “reference” fields during the shipping process. This could vary, it might be a purchase order (PO) number, a customer number, a company name, a Bill of Lading number, or a phrase that identifies that shipment. The shipment reference can be numbers or letters but can not exceed 35 characters.
For UPS Mail Innovations specifically, a shipment reference is a unique package ID that you assign through barcoded information for each of your mail pieces. The character limit is 30 characters. It could be alpha or numeric with no spaces or symbols in between. Package IDs within 6 months could not be repeated. Apart from UPS tracking numbers, the reference numbers can be used to identify and track UPS packages as well.
How can I track my UPS parcels using a reference number?
Apart from using a UPS tracking number, you can also use reference numbers to track your UPS parcels.
A UPS shipping reference is an identification number that you receive during the shipping process by completing the “reference” field. When creating a shipment, you can assign a reference name that represents your customer or business system. This number may contain letters and/or numbers and it could be a purchase order (PO) number, bill of lading number, or group of words and numbers that can help you identify your shipment.

I still haven’t received my UPS package. Where is my order?
If you haven’t received your UPS package and you do not know where it is now, please go to the tracking UPS package page and check its status and expected delivery day by typing in the UPS tracking number. On the page, you will find the current location of the package.
In case your UPS package’s status is shown as delivered but you have not found your package, you can start a claim. Either the sender or receiver can initiate a claim. However, as the sender keeps most of the supporting documents such as receipts, invoices, and UPS tracking numbers, we advise the sender to be the one handling the claims process.
Another status might include, "Shipment Ready for UPS Pickup,” meaning that the sender just created a shipping order, "Origin Scan" or "Pickup Scan,” meaning that UPS is delivering your packages. If the system shows invalid or no information found, you should ask the sender to investigate or re-deliver the item to you.
How do I know when I am going to receive my UPS package?
To find out when you are going to receive your UPS package, use Parcel Monitor’s UPS parcel tracking tool or the tracking tool on the UPS homepage. Go to either website, enter your UPS tracking number or tracking ID, then hit the Track button. The result that comes out will include the estimated arrival date of your package. Typically, UPS parcels are delivered between 9 am to 9 pm, Monday to Friday. Weekend delivery is only possible for some selected locations.

My tracking information from UPS says that a package has been delivered to my address but I didn’t receive it. What should I do?
If you have not received your UPS package and do not know its current location, make sure to check the status and delivery date of the package on Parcel Monitor or the UPS homepage. The UPS tracking tool on both websites will show you the current location of the package.
InAs a start, you may wish to check different parts of your home where your packages might have been dropped off at. In some cases, the last-mile delivery company might have left your package out of plain sight for safety reasons. Possible places include porches, backyards, garages, and other areas that are free of weather hazards. In addition, make sure to check with everyone in your house and/or your neighborhood that might have received your package without your knowledge.
HIf you have checked everywhere and are still unable to find your package, you need to contact the sender (usually the shop you purchased your item from) as soon as possible and potentially start a claim. Do note that the senders are usually the ones who receive essential claim documents like invoices, receipts, detailed merchandise descriptions, tracking numbers, etc.
What should I do if I want to change my UPS delivery address?
If you are not a MyChoice member, please ensure you contact your sender in order to change the delivery address before the first delivery attempt. If UPS suspects that the address is incorrect and not deliverable, you might be able to change the address right on the tracking page.
If you subscribe to MyChoice, you are allowed to change a number of shipment details before the first delivery attempt including the delivery address, delivery date, and delivery method. To do so, enter your UPS tracking number, then select Delivery Options in the Tracking Details section and then proceed to change the information as you would like.
