In Reply to: RE: Good Grief! Someone stole my UPS shipper number posted by Sue Kraft on July 24, 2014 at 10:25:06
Everything you ship has a UPS tracking number.
The first 6 characters after the "1Z" are your UPS shipper number.
Just sayin'...
Follow Ups:
The shipper number is contained within a much longer number, beginning 7 digits from the end. Not sure if this is the tracking number, but it can easily be seen through the window in the envelope.
How much easier can it get to ship a package and send the bill to someone else?
The 1Z- tracking number is not a Shipper Number.
The Shipper number is the ID for a credit account. That way a hi-volume shipper can pay a monthly bill instead of every time they walk in.
I own and run a UPS Authorized Shipping Outlet - in other words, basically one step down from a "UPS Store."
Anything shipped out of my facility will have my Shipper Number in big bold characters right after the 1Z in the tracking number.
Wanna charge a crapload of stuff on Dish Network's account? One of their many shipper numbers is 4929V*, another is X456*F. Amazon? 9648E*.
Want some more? LL Bean? Zappos? Ruger Arms?
I've replaced the last character in each of their shipper numbers on the odd chance you'd actually try to ship something with their accounts.
Simple fact is? IF you had any shipper number, you could probably walk into any UPS facility, fill out a handwritten Next Day Air sheet, and get something to its destination before whoever owns the shipper number you used would be billed for it.
Just went back and checked my shipping history for the last 90 days.
Sure enough there's the account number. I never noticed before.
