UPS PB Rates – Schedule and cancel Carrier pickup
This feature enables UPS PB Rates users to schedule and cancel pickups using a credit card as the payment method.
Pickup charges are clearly displayed at the time of scheduling, along with the pickup date and confirmation number. Users can view both scheduled and cancelled pickups, along with details such as total packages, pickup charges, and status. These details are pulled directly from UPS’s system to ensure accuracy.
All pickup charges are also reflected in the Payment Methods screen under the History tab, labeled as “Pickup.” If a pickup is cancelled, the full charge is refunded to the user.

Latest Updates
USPS Harmonized System (HS) Code update for International Shipments
To comply with USPS regulations, the format for Harmonized System (HS) Tariff Codes, used for international shipments, has been updated. HS codes are required on customs forms (2976 CN22 and 2976-A/2976-B CP72) and must be included with item descriptions to ensure smooth customs clearance.
When creating a USPS shipment, the HS code must now meet specific validation rules:
- It must be between 6 and 12 characters, including periods (.).
- If the code is too short or too long, an error message, “Invalid HS code,” will appear below the input field.
To help users find the correct code, an info icon will appear next to the HS code field. Clicking it will direct users to the USPS Harmonized Tariff Schedule website, where they can search for the appropriate HS code based on the item being shipped.
Firmware update alert for PitneyShip Cube users
To help clients stay up to date, we've added a feature that alerts users when their PitneyShip Cube firmware version is outdated. This alert appears in red on the PitneyShip Cube Dashboard and includes the message: “Update required. Learn more.” It will only show if the firmware version is older than V01.30_PBS_062624.
If a user has multiple PitneyShip Cubes, the alert will still appear as long as at least one PitneyShip Cube has an outdated firmware version. Once all PitneyShip Cubes are updated, the alert will automatically disappear.
