Overview

UPS Ground Freight Pricing is used to create a UPS Ground with freight pricing shipment without requiring the user to have with freight pricing contract and configuration in Shipper Defaults – Defaults tab.  When rating a UPS shipment, Parcel returns a freight price for LTL Shipments if this option is activated for this UPS carrier (see following section). Parcel automatically selects the least expensive rate available by comparing the available Ground and Ground Freight pricing and displays this rate as the Calculated Freight (price) for the shipment.

Note: Parcel uses UPS Online® Tools to receive a rate for Freight-rated shipments.
