I don't know of any way to get that tracking number out of the UPS
shipping software and into IC.
The UPS shipping software that I am using has an option where I can put
in the e-mail address of the buyer and it will send them an e-mail with
the tracking number.
Preferring the personal touch, I e-mail each one individually with a
copy of their order and insert a text file with a canned blurb and then
type in the UPS tracking number in the form of a link that they can
click on.
I am soon going to move to letting the UPS software send out the
confirmations, though.
I think that it's essential that the customer have the tracking number.
That way, when the shipment gets lost or delayed the customer can
clearly see that it's not my fault. I get zero complaints in this area.
