If you receive UPS "Daily" rates (ie, you have a Daily UPS pickup), depending on when you started your UPS account, you may be subject to slightly higher rates for air services than are customers who have been with UPS a longer time. If you started your UPS account after Jan 3, 2011, you are paying what UPS calls "standard" rates, rather than "daily" rates. AuctionInc now supports these slightly higher Standard rates for newer UPS customers.

In order to change to Standard rates, log into your AuctionInc account and go to our Carrier Settings page. On the UPS tab, pick the Entry Method titled "Daily Rates (UPS account after 1-3-2011)".

If you are using our XS Shipping Rates API, we have a new Entry Method code for these rates ("Q"). You may wish to consider modifying your sellers' available selection of entry methods on your own forms to add this new option.

UPS says they developed these rates to match FedEx and avoid confusion for customers who are comparing similiar services across the two carriers. Indeed, their Standard rates for air services now exactly match FedEx daily rates for the comparable services.
