Who owns ConnectShip?
ConnectShip is a wholly-owned, independent business unit of United Parcel Service
(UPS). ConnectShip maintains an independent relationship with the parent company; information obtained from other carriers during the compliance process is not shared with UPS; UPS does not share other multi-carrier shipping vendor information with ConnectShip.
Since you are owned by UPS, will you provide multi-carrier support?
We offer multi-carrier solutions and have strong relationships with all of the major carriers, LTL carriers, regional and miscellaneous carriers. We provide all rates and fees associated with all carriers, including UPS, for rate comparison purposes.
What is the business model?
Our core business is the development and enhancement of shipping solutions that supports multiple carriers to optimize shipping functionality throughout the enterprise on a global scale. Customers obtain licenses for software and shipper and carrier components. Licenses are sold by our
reseller partners and Independant Software Vendors, through our
Solutions Support Department, and via
UPS Customer Solutions. Software license update subscriptions are sold annually. Patches, updates and maintenance are all included with the license and the yearly subscriptions; no additional or hidden costs are involved. Patches are issued for any identified software bugs and to provide carrier updates for compliance and rate changes.

How can I determine which solution is best for my company?
To determine which shipping solution is best for your unique business,
speak to a Solutions Support representative about your existing and planned shipping needs. Consider the following factors:
- Plans for expansion into markets in other countries or other vertical
- Increased or decreased package volume (including returns)
- Integration with enterprise resource planning, warehouse management, or supply chain management systems
- Number of distribution centers, warehouses, locations that need to be connected to and managed remotely to process shipments
- Labor costs of the employees who do manual processes such as rate comparisons, order processing, warehouse and shipping procedures, returned shipment handling
Our solution is not one-size-fits-all. A representative from ConnectShip can help you evaluate your needs in a consultative, fact-finding session.

Carriers and Services
What carriers, and from what origin countries, do you support?
For a complete list of supported carriers, services, and shipping origin countries and territories,
view our Carriers page.
Are you compliant with all of the carriers?
We support the major carriers, the most common and widely used services and many services that are specific to a particular carrier or country/territory. Review the
Carriers page, which lists all of the carriers and services we support by country/territory and by carrier. If you do not see the type of service or the carrier that you need, contact our
Solutions Support Department to discuss your specific needs. We support shipments from over 200 origin countries and territories.
Note: When comparing vendors or researching a solution, be aware that it is not feasible for any shipping software provider to support all of the world's carriers and/or all of the services due to the large number of small parcel, LTL and freight carriers and their available services. Make sure that the vendor you select supports the carrier and carrier services that your business requires or is willing to become compliant with that carrier and/or service.
