Issue

Cause

The account information being entered does not match the information in UPS's system, or there may be an issue with your UPS account.

Resolution

Solution 1: Make sure that you are using the most recent UPS invoice

If you are uncertain, check with UPS for a more recent copy of an invoice.

Solution 2: Verify that all of the data you entered is correct

  • Make sure that the UPS Account Number, UPS Invoice Number, and Control ID you entered match what appears on your UPS invoice.
  • Make sure that the Invoice Amount matches the Amount due this period from your UPS invoice. Do not enter the dollar sign ($) in the Invoice Amount field.
  • Make sure that the Name and Company fields are filled in. These fields cannot be left blank.
  • Verify that the address you entered matches the invoice. P.O. Boxes are not allowed on this form. If a P.O. Box appears on your invoice, locate a secondary physical address on your invoice (usually located in the top left of your invoice) and use that address.
  • Use only the 5-digit ZIP Code in the ZIP Code field.
  • In the Phone field, enter the phone number without dashes.

Solution 3: Wait 24 hours

If you have made more than three attempts to enter your UPS account information, your UPS account may be locked. You must wait a full 24 hours before trying to add the UPS account information again.

Solution 4: Contact UPS

There may be an issue with your UPS account. Contact UPS to verify there are no holds, suspensions, or billing issues preventing your account from being added.
