How to buy a UPS label
- Open Get a Quote, enter the two ZIP codes and the packed box's weight and size, and select See prices.
- Pick a UPS service. USPS, UPS and FedEx are side by side, so you can see whether another carrier is cheaper for this box.
- Add both addresses and phone numbers; city and state fill in from the ZIP code. Select Confirm price.
- Pay with Apple Pay, Cash App Pay or a card. The label shows on screen right away and is emailed to you with the tracking number.
- Print the label, tape it to the box and drop it off at The UPS Store or any UPS Access Point location.
Questions
Do I need a UPS account?
No, and no ShipGopher account either. Enter the package, pay, and the UPS label is yours. Your email gets the label, receipt, tracking number and cancel link.
Do I need a printer?
Yes. On ShipGopher, UPS labels need to be printed and taped to the box. No printer? Print it at a library or print shop, or choose USPS, which comes with a QR code the Post Office prints for you (how it works).
Where do I drop it off?
At The UPS Store or any UPS Access Point location. The label is already paid for, so you only hand over the box.
Is tracking included?
Yes. Every UPS label has a tracking number, sent in your label email, and you can follow the package on the Track page.
Can I cancel the label?
Yes. Use the cancel link in your label email within 28 days, before the package is scanned. You're refunded in full once the carrier confirms the label wasn't used.
What if the package weighs more than I entered?
The carrier may bill the difference, and we charge it to the card you paid with. Weigh it and measure it, rounding up to the next whole inch.
