You can find your UPS account number, sometimes referred to as the shipper number, in various ways.
- By calling UPS at 1 (800) 742-5877.
- By locating it on paper invoices or electronically for shippers signed up to UPS Billing Center.
- By finding the tracking number of a package that was shipped using your UPS account. Look for the string of six numbers and letters that immediately follow “1Z”—that’s your account number.
