UPS SurePost® Updates
-
Starting April 2, 2025, UPS will replace the name SurePost® service with Ground Saver® as its economy product. This change will appear in all shipping, billing, pricing systems, and labels.
-
Also as of April 2, 2025, UPS has reduced Ground Saver's free Declared Value Coverage from $100 to $20. To make up the difference, you can purchase ParcelGuard on Endicia starting at $0.99 per $100 of insured value.
Accept the new Terms & Conditions for UPS from Endicia to make this service available in your account if it isn't already.
UPS® Ground Saver no longer transfers to USPS
UPS® Ground Saver shipments now stay with UPS for the duration of their transit. They do not pass through the USPS. UPS® Ground Saver service is no longer available for shipping to PO Boxes, military addresses, and US territories.
Do not drop off UPS® Ground Saver shipments at a USPS location. These packages will not be scanned and they may be destroyed.

You can select UPS Ground Saver for individual shipments or by setting up an Automation Rule to apply this service to orders that meet specific criteria.
Automation Rules are one way to save time processing your shipments in Endicia. As your orders import, Endicia will check if an order meets the rule qualifiers. If it does, then Endicia applies the Automation Rule you set up. Review all Endicia options for automation.

-
Click Add Criteria. Criteria is the IF part of the statement Endicia uses to determine if an order qualifies for the rule.

Select the criteria and corresponding parameters from the drop-down menus.
In this example, we use Item SKU, with a parameter of Equals, and entered a SKU value. Review a complete list of rule options in Automation Rule Criteria & Actions Reference.
-
Click Add Criteria to create additional conditions for the rule or set the action.
If all criteria for the rule exist for an order, then the rule action applies to the order.
Next, set the Automation Rule Action:
-
Click Add Action. Action is the THEN part of the statement Endicia applies to your order.
-
Select the action and corresponding parameters from the drop-down menus.
In this example, we selected Set Carrier and Service... and chose UPS for the Carrier and UPS Ground Saver for the Service. Review a complete list of rule options in Automation Rule Criteria & Actions Reference.
-
Click Save Rule.
Now, every imported order with a specific SKU will have UPS Ground Saver applied as the Carrier and Service.
You can add, edit, or disable any of your Automation Rules whenever you like. Changes to Automation Rules will only apply to future imported orders.
