Purchasing Guidelines

U-M is now using eShipGlobal, a comprehensive shipping platform that helps customers find the best shipping rates/methods and offers streamlined billing via shortcode. U-M users can access eShipGlobal through Marketsite+ or in the Buying Blue collection on Wolverine Access. UPS is one of the carrier options offered through eShipGlobal. Once you’ve logged in to eShipGlobal with your U-M credentials, you can create shipments, view competitive pricing from multiple carriers, and track your package through delivery. You can view step-by-step instructions and additional training resources on the eShipGlobal Knowledge Base page.

If you would like to close your previous UPS/CampusShip account:

• Confirm that your account balance is zero.
• Notify all third-party users that your account will be closed.
• Destroy any pre-printed paper waybills associated with your account.
• Fill out this request form. You will need your account number to complete the request.

What if I don’t know my account number?
Most UPS/CampusShip users can view their account number in step #6 of the “Create A Shipment” page in UPS CampusShip, where it asks “How would you like to pay.” If you or someone else in your department has CampusShip access, ask them to log in and share the account number with you.  Alternatively, if you have a tracking number from a previous shipment or you know someone in your department who already has access to UPS CampusShip, you can enter the tracking number and/or the name and email address of the other people who already have access to UPS CampusShip.
