Learn why we don't recommend using Pirate Ship for sending a package to a The UPS Store location or pickup point

Shipping to a The UPS Store® location on Pirate Ship is not recommended

While there's technically nothing stopping you from shipping directly to a The UPS Store location, we don't recommend using Pirate Ship to buy labels for these sorts of shipments 🙈 Here are the main reasons why:

  • Rejected packages: We've seen UPS reject packages shipped directly to a The UPS Store location.

  • Insurance claims complications: You'll run into issues with insurance claims for higher-value items

    • UPS won't sign an affidavit that our third-party insurance company requires for missing package claims, so if your high-value item goes missing, your claim will likely be denied even if you insured it properly

What about shipping to a UPS pickup point?

  • Shipping to a UPS pickup point: There's technically no way to address a package to a UPS pickup point like how you can with General Delivery for USPS, so you can't ship to these locations, anyway 🙈 Sorry, matey!
