UPS: Troubleshooting the "Shipper's Shipper Number Cannot be Used for This Shipment" Error Message
If you're processing a UPS shipment and receive a message stating that, "The Shipper's Shipper Number Cannot be Used for This Shipment", most likely there is a restriction on your account. This message is a result of being locked out (for example, by entering the wrong password) and unable to access the UPS server. We advise you to contact UPS directly, by phone, email, or live chat (if available).
UPS Account 24-Hour Lockout
Initially, UPS locks accounts for 24 hours. However, repeated failed attempts to log in will add to the amount of time your account will be locked, so it is important to contact UPS immediately regarding this issue.
To follow the steps below, you will need your UPS account information, including your account number. We will delete your UPS account information and add the same account back. This action is to clear any information that may potentially cause conflicts. All of your records will continue to be stored in ShipWorksShipWorks, and it will not delete any previous shipments.
