UPS Account Number and Tracking Number

 

UPS tracking number is quite long because it holds a lot of information including UPS Account Number.  It usually starts with 1Z and followed by a 6-digit account number and a few more characters to complete the tracking number.

 

This is an example of a tracking number : 1Z xxx xxx yy zzzz zzz c

xxx xxx = Alphanumeric account number of the shipper

yy = UPS service level

zzzz zzz = Package identifier

c = check digit
