Requirements
In order to add UPS Mail Innovations as a carrier in EasyPost, you need to already have an account established with UPS. You can sign up for a UPS account here. Then you need to have UPS Mail Innovations enabled on your UPS account. To get that enabled you'll need to work directly with UPS. If you already have a UPS Representative for your account you will want to reach out to them otherwise you can contact UPS via their Contact Page.
You will need the following credentials from UPS:
- UPS Shipper Number
- UPS.com User ID
- UPS.com Password
Once you obtain credentials you can use them to create a UPS Mail Innovations account on the EasyPost Carriers Account Page. Additional guidance on this can be found in our Adding a Carrier guide.
Live Rating
Our UPS Mail Innovations integration supports Live Rating. If you would like to receive rates in real time and avoid a rate table upload, you will also need to add the following two credentials:
- Customer Id
- Customer guid
Live-Rated Service Levels:
The Service Level Names that may return for a live-rated account are:
- StandardFlats
- ParcelSelectLightweight-Irreg
- ParcelSelect
- BPMParcels
- BPMFlats
- MediaMail
- MarketingParcels
Rate Table
If you would like to utilize a rate table for your account rather than live rating, you will omit Customer Id and guid, and instead work with your UPS rep and the EasyPost support team.
After creating your UPS MI account, obtain a rate table from your UPS Representative and send that file to support@easypost.com. The support team will then create a task with engineering to get that file uploaded to your account.
Please note that uploading a rate table can take a 1-2 weeks to complete.
Rate Table Service Levels:

- EconomyMailinnovations
