UPS Tracking disruption

major investigating

We are experiencing an interruption in UPS tracking events from the carrier. Our team has reached out to UPS and is actively monitoring the situation. During this time, tracking updates may be delayed but will be sent once the carrier's API is restored

Components the vendor reports as affected: UPS Partial Outage

A component listed here does not necessarily mean a full outage — large providers routinely report maintenance on individual locations. It only affects the verdict above when the vendor marks it major or critical and our own checks also saw Shippo fail from enough regions to rule out probe noise.

Reachability by region

Each region runs its own request from a different part of the world. A service can be up for one continent and down for another, which is usually the first sign of a routing or CDN problem.

What Shippo does

Shippo is multi-carrier shipping software for e-commerce businesses. Sellers use its web dashboard or its API to compare carrier rates, buy and print labels, verify addresses and track packages, and it connects to e-commerce platforms so orders flow in on their own. For many online stores it is the step between an order arriving and a parcel leaving, so an outage stops fulfilment rather than sales.

What an outage looks like

Label purchases fail or hang in the Shippo dashboard, rate quotes come back empty, and API calls from a store or warehouse system return errors. Often only one carrier is affected: Shippo lists each carrier's API as its own row, so USPS labels can fail while UPS and FedEx print normally. Tracking updates can also stop for one carrier while the others keep moving.

What to do about it

Open status.goshippo.com and read two places: the Shippo REST API, Platform API and Web Dashboard rows, and the Carrier API group, which has a row per carrier. If only your carrier is flagged, move the affected orders to another carrier for the day. Do not re-buy a label that appeared to fail until you have checked the label history, so the same shipment is not paid for twice.

Is it down for everyone, or just you?

If this page says Shippo is up but it is not loading for you, the problem is between you and them. Run a check against any URL from up to 17 cities across three regions to find out where it breaks.

Shippo outage FAQ

Is it Shippo or the carrier that is down?
Check the Carrier API group on status.goshippo.com. Shippo lists more than fifty carriers separately, from USPS, UPS and FedEx to Royal Mail, DHL Express and Canada Post, so a problem at one carrier shows on its own row while the Shippo API and dashboard stay green. If the core rows are healthy and only one carrier is flagged, the fix and the timeline belong to that carrier.
My label purchase failed. Was I charged?
Check before buying again. Open the label history in the Shippo dashboard once it loads and look for the shipment. If a label exists, the purchase went through even though the screen showed an error, and printing it is all you need to do. If none exists, buy it again or use another carrier. Buying twice on a guess is how duplicate labels happen.
Why does my store show shipping errors when the Shippo website works?
Because the website and the API are reported separately. Shippo lists its REST API and Platform API apart from its Web Dashboard, and store platforms that print labels through Shippo use the API. When the API is degraded, the error appears inside your store admin or shipping app and reads like a bug there. Check the API rows before reinstalling or reconnecting anything.
Is Shippo down for everyone or just me?
Compare the status page with this page's measurements from several regions. If both show Shippo healthy, the likely causes are local: an expired carrier account connection, a stale browser session, or a store integration whose credentials changed. Failures seen from several regions at once point to Shippo itself.

How we measure this

  • We request Shippo's public endpoint every 6 hours from Fly.io regions across six continents — the most recent check ran from 8 of them.
  • A region counts as down only when it gets no usable HTTP response. A 403 or 429 means the origin answered and refused us, which we report as blocked, never as an outage.
  • A single failing region is treated as probe noise. We only change the verdict when two consecutive cycles agree.
  • Response times average only the regions that actually served the page, so a timeout never inflates the number.
  • Where Shippo publishes an official status feed we read it too. An all-clear from the vendor can soften an unconfirmed degradation; a vendor-declared outage only worsens our verdict when our own checks corroborate it.
