UPS gives you a choice when you want to ship online.
When you create a UPS shipping method, select one of the available UPS service types. Each UPS service type calculates prices depending on different aspects, like country of delivery, weight of a package and its dimensions. When a customer places an order in the webstore, availability of UPS shipping methods also depends on these aspects.

For more information about UPS shipping services, see UPS Shipping Services on the official UPS website.

Availability per country

Select countries for which the shipping method should be available.

If some country is not selected, the shipping method will not be available to the customers of that country.

Customer segments

Assign customer segments.

Using customer segments, you can filter shipping methods. If you add a customer segment to the shipping method, then this shipping method will be available only to the customers that meet the criteria set in the customer segment. Other customers will not see this shipping method.

Product set

Use this field to select an existing product set or create a new one. You can assign a product set to a shipping method if you want to make it unavailable for certain products. If there is at least one product in the shopping cart from the selected product set, the shipping method will not be shown at the checkout. This can be useful if you are selling products that you know for sure cannot be delivered by a certain method or delivery service.
