CampusShip Support - Creating a Shipment

UPS CampusShip puts powerful shipping tools in your hands. The shipping process allows quick, streamlined package label generation using address books, distribution lists, shipping preferences, and values preset by your administrator. For maximum flexibility, you can change or write over most preset values directly on the Shipping screen.

Note: Some UPS CampusShip services and functionality must be assigned by your UPS CampusShip Administrator. To contact your administrator, select the Administrator Lookup button (if available) or Company Support at the bottom of the Create a Shipment page.

Package, Services and Payment Information

Packaging
Review your Packaging selection, and change it as needed. If you have a preset Packaging preference, that preference displays in the Packaging drop-down list.

Select the number of parcels (up to 20) in your shipment from the drop-down menu. The default setting is one package.

Enter the total weight of your shipment.

  • If you select UPS Envelope as your packaging, weight is not required.
  • If you select Other Packaging, enter the total dimensional weight for your shipment.

If your shipment includes more than one package, you will have the opportunity to specify different values for each package, or you may use the same values for all packages. If you select No to Use the same values for all packages, you can enter package-level details for each package in your shipment on the next page. To remove a package from your shipment, select Delete next to the package information.

Review your Shipping Service selection, and change it as needed. If you are unsure which service is best for your shipment, select the Compare Service Options link next to the Service drop-down menu for more information about your choices. If you have a preset Shipping Service preference, that preference displays in the Service drop-down menu.

Enter Reference Numbers
Enter any desired or required Reference Numbers. (Some Reference Numbers may be required and provided by your administrator). If your administrator has pre-defined default Reference Numbers, the Reference Number value will appear as text that you cannot edit or search.

Payment Method
Your Payment Method will probably be set by default to a UPS account for your shipping location, or you may have set a shipping preference (e.g. a payment card or third-party account number) that displays in your shipping forms. To modify your payment method for the current shipment, select from the Bill Shipping Charges To drop-down menu.

To view your shipment details, select the checkbox for Review Shipping details, including price, before completing this shipment. To complete your shipment and print your package labels, select Next.
