Prior UPS Announcement -

UPS is committed to ensuring the most current security requirements are used with our customers when shipment data is transmitted. To help ensure your shipping data remains encrypted, the security communication protocol for interactions with web-based applications must be upgraded to TLS 1.2.

UPS will be making changes beginning September 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017 to support enhancing our security. During this time, you may see intermittent failures for transactions using TLS1.0 or earlier.

Note - To ensure stability with connectivity, please be sure your implementation is directed to the following URL: https://onlinetools.ups.com
