Upon finishing the 'Create A Shipment' process, using my UPS My Choice account, I am now presented with an "Informational" type banner at the top of the page. Backcolor Yellow, Forecolor Red, with the message reading to the tune of "UPS Internal Security has prevented the creation of this shipment. If you feel this has happened in error please contact us, blah blah." The message also included a unique Error/Instance Reference Number, which I do not remember because I immediately lost all desire to ever see the message again.
Has anyone seen this before? On a side note I guess I should mention I have created shipments simply to turn around and supply the vendor with the label, and having done this about 6 times, I have recieved every package without issue, all product in tact and untampered with. This makes me feel better. I suppose I could have accidentally logged into my UPS account while connected to a VPN service, which may have triggered an internal security measure they have set up. Considering I've recieved all my packages without issue that makes more sense. The other thought I have is that they have flagged it because they are possibly investigating or are participating in an investigation of the sender aka vendor.
Any thoughts? Any UPS guys that can explain this cryptic message?
UPS as in "United Parcel Service"? As in, a private U.S. carrier that can search and seize any package going through its system without any requirements to obtain a warrant or otherwise submit to due process?
And you are creating labels with them, from a clearnet account, and then you are the one supplying those to the vendor?
I mean, just, wow. Holy shit. Like, wow.
