UPS® charges for every single shipping label generated. So, if you, or a third-party shipper, don’t use or void the shipping label, a charge will be incurred. Even the most efficient operations end up having unused shipping labels. This article will explain how Express Parcel International, LTD voids and reports on shipping labels that go unused.
How Express Parcel International, LTD voids unused shipping labels
Express Parcel International, LTD tracks and monitors every UPS® label.
Shipping labels created on a UPS® account are automatically tracked by Express Parcel International, LTD’s manifest tracking service.
When a shipping label is 30 days old, Express Parcel International, LTDon’s shipment voiding service takes action and submits billing adjustments on unused shipping labels with UPS® in the exact format required to get disputes processed faster. Unused shipping labels are at risk of being billed to your UPS account and this built-in service eliminates those forgotten, extra or unused shipping labels.
Express Parcel International, LTDon will only bill a service fee for a split of the savings once the void request is processed and the requested refund is added to the UPS® account in the form of a credit applied to an invoice.
Express Parcel International, LTDon tracks the refund credits as they’re delivered back to the shipping account. These refund credits are delivered one of two ways:
- A credit on a future invoice.
- A refund to credit card on file with UPS®.
Once a credit is delivered, Express Parcel International, LTDon notes the amount credited and generates reports on the savings delivered.
