The Shipping Cost Gap

UPS Bills You for Everything. QuickBooks Needs to Capture It.

Every UPS shipment carries costs that go beyond the base label rate: fuel surcharges, residential delivery fees, address correction charges, signature requirements, and dimensional weight adjustments. Your UPS invoice reflects all of it. Your QuickBooks should too, but without a direct connection, those costs accumulate invisibly while your shipping expense line understates your true carrier spend.

Webgility pulls every UPS shipment from your sales channels, captures the full cost including all surcharges and accessorial fees, and posts the expense to QuickBooks per order at the service level. Your accountant sees UPS Ground, UPS 2-Day Air, and UPS Next Day Air as separate line items, not a blended shipping total.

Carrier Cost Reconciliation

UPS Invoices Match Your QuickBooks Expense Accounts

At month-end, your UPS account invoice should match your QuickBooks shipping expense totals. Webgility posts every UPS label cost in real time throughout the month, so when your carrier bill arrives, the amount is already in your books. No retroactive entry. No batch corrections. No scrambling to reconcile a month of shipments after the fact.

Shipping income collected from customers is tracked separately from carrier expense, giving your accountant the data to calculate true shipping margin per order, per channel, and per service level without building separate reconciliation spreadsheets.
