Address Validation is an automatic function that verifies the city, state, and postal code combination of any U.S. Ship To address. If UPS is unable to validate the combination, you will have the option to use a suggested address from an address database, revise the original address, or use the original address.
Detailed Address Validation, available in UPS Internet Shipping and UPS CampusShip, is a function you can select to validate the street number range and the suite/apartment range of your Ship To address for U.S. to U.S. shipments. If UPS is unable to validate the combination, you will be offered suggested ranges from an address database.

The detailed address validation occurs when the Validate This Address checkbox is selected.
This checkbox is located on the Create A Shipment page. To turn Detailed Address Validation off, uncheck the box on this page. You can also set a preference on the Shipping Preferences page by selecting the Always Perform Address Validation checkbox. This is only available for addresses within the U.S.

Setting your shipping preferences gives you the convenience of processing single-piece shipments (shipments containing one package) using the same shipping characteristics in one step, without re-entering your shipping options. The shipping preferences will automatically be used for each new shipment you process, as long as you ship using the same shipping characteristics.

After you have logged in, select the Shipping tab at the top of the page. Then select View History or Void Shipment in the Create a Shipment area. You can select one, seven, or 30 days of Shipping History to view.
You can also select a custom date range to be displayed. Your history is available for viewing for up to 90 days or up to 500 shipments, whichever comes first.
You can customize the fields and the order in which they are displayed by editing the settings on the Shipping Preferences page. You can also export your history to a .csv file and save it on your computer, or use it to integrate with other systems. Select any date range as described above and then select Export Current View.
