Important: Western Bid tracks delivery issues for parcels sent via UPS Express and Plus and Direct Consolidations, and will open a separate case for each problematic shipment in your Personal Cabinet.

Company managers monitor the status of shipments on the UPS website, inform sellers about delays and other issues, and help resolve claims so the seller is not left to deal with logistical questions on their own.

Who benefits from UPS monitoring by Western Bid

  • Sellers who ship parcels via UPS Express or Plus and Direct consolidations.
  • Users who do not have time every day to manually check dozens of tracking numbers on the UPS website.
  • New sellers who are concerned about possible delays, damage, incorrect addresses, or a package being returned in transit.

How delivery problem monitoring works

  • Western Bid automatically tracks all your shipments via the UPS website and records any non-typical statuses (failures, delays, returns, delivery attempts).
  • For each issue, a separate ‘case’ opens in the Personal account, where managers describe the situation and recommend the next steps to the seller.
  • The service is completely free for Western Bid clients who use UPS delivery via the company.

If there are problems with the shipment in transit

Since August 1, 2019, Western Bid, a trading agency, has introduced a service for tracking delivery problems of our clients’ parcels sent via UPS Express or Plus and Direct Consolidation. Western Bid monitors all of its clients’ shipments through the UPS website. In the Personal Account, for each arising problem or claim a case is opened, within which our managers inform our client-sellers about the delivery situations that have occurred. Thus, our clients are not left alone with possible delivery problems, but receive qualified assistance from our specialists. This service is completely free. You can view the claims by clicking the “UPS Monitoring” item in the Western Bid Personal Account. To open a case at your initiative, please write to us in the Western Bid Personal Account in the “Support” section of the menu.

Please note: timely detection of delivery problems (delay, incorrect address, return of shipment) allows us to respond more quickly, notify the customer, and avoid complaints and loss of money. That is why Western Bid has launched free monitoring of UPS shipments.
