Setting up your OSM Worldwide Account 

Signing Up With OSM Worldwide 

You can get started with an OSM Worldwide Account by contacting their service team. You will need to obtain the following account credentials from OSM:

• Account Number
• Mailer ID
  
• Facility Code/Cost Center ID for manifesting (optional)
• Company Name (your company or business name)
• SFTP Account

Register Your OSM Worldwide Account With EasyPost

Once you obtain these credentials you can use them to create an OSM Worldwide account on the EasyPost Carriers Account Page. Additional guidance on this can be found in our Adding a Carrier guide.

Installing a Rate Card (Required)

An OSM Worldwide rep can provide you with a rate card that will show you what rates you can expect to pay OSM given shipment parameters (package size/weight, location, etc.). EasyPost is not automatically privy to these rates, so when you first create an OSM account you will need to obtain your custom rate card from OSM. Once you have obtained your rate card, contact support@easypost.com for help installing your rate card.

Tracking

EasyPost has established an authorized SFTP connection with OSM in order to download tracker reports on a regular basis for the purpose of populating tracking data on the EasyPost platform. For this to work, your OSM tracking reports need to follow a standard or default format. The column headers should be ordered from Column A to AD, like so:

• CustomerPackageId
• TrackingId
• Zone
• MailClass
• Zip
• BOL
• CustomerBolId
• ProcessDate
• CustomerReference1
• CustomerReference2
• CustomerReference3
• CustomerReference4
• FileWeight
• Weight
• FileCompany
• FileName
• FileCity
• FileAddress1
• FileAddress2
• FileState
• FileZip
• USPSLastStatusDate
• USPSStatusDescriptoin
• UspsStatusId
• ClientId
• CustomerName
• CostCenterId
• CostCenterName
• ShipMethod
• USPSStatusCodeId

What the report looks like:

It's important to note that some OSM customers may have customized reports that have different column headers. Unfortunately, we are not able to support tracking with customized reports from at this time.
