Setting up Shipping manager for FedEx and UPS ONLY

Hello, ELcoPC. Let’s collaborate to set up your Shipping Manager for seamless use of FedEx and UPS for your shipping needs.

Before proceeding, please ensure that your QuickBooks Desktop Premier Plus is updated to the latest release so the Shipping Manager and carrier integrations run smoothly.

QuickBooks Shipping Manager can be configured to work with FedEx and UPS, even if USPS is not used. However, the setup flow may still prompt for a USPS‑related step or default to USPS as the first carrier. In many cases, you can bypass this by selecting FedEx or UPS during the “Set up Carrier Accounts” step and simply not entering any USPS credentials, billing details, or credit card information.

When prompted to choose a carrier, select FedEx first. If the setup wizard insists on starting with USPS, look carefully for an option such as Skip, Cancel, or Not now on that USPS screen so you can move forward to FedEx or UPS without completing USPS registration.

If the setup requires creating a USPS account to proceed, you can complete the USPS section with only the necessary basic details and go to the Carrier Connections or shipping settings to turn off USPS.

Should the issue persist even after trying these steps, I recommend contacting our live support team for further assistance. They have specialized tools to access your account and check this further.

I’ll ensure this conversation remains open for any future updates and discussions.

The issue continues to be unresolved.

USPS is the first carrier to setup, and I do not see any way to bypass it, except to comply and put it my credit card!  That is ridiculous, as we NEVER use Postal Service to ship our goods. 

Enough time has passed since the NEW SHIPPING Manager was released, and I am sure I am not the only one with this complaint to push for a solution!   Still waiting for either work around or permanent fix! 

Current situation creates extra work for everyone, because we have to do all the shipping externally of QB! 

We still cannot set it up. On the desktop QB Premier Plus Manufacturing and Wholesale Edition there is no way to bypass or skip the USPS set up. ELcoPC NEVER uses USPS for shipping. We use UPS, FedEx and occasionally DHL. Not being able to ship form QB is creating extra work and increases possibility of misteakes.

I am sure we are not the only ones to have this issue. 

I understand the inconvenience this experience has been for you and your business, ELcoPC. Since the setup still requires USPS information without any option to bypass, I encourage you to contact our live support team for a closer look.

They have the tools to review your configuration in real time and gather the technical details needed to address this issue directly.

I'll keep this thread open for future updates and communications.
