My website only shows UPS 2nd days Air as shipping option, while I also have UPS Ground, UPS Standard, and Next Day selected, I’m using Shopify Shipping.
Topic summary
A Shopify store owner is experiencing an issue where only UPS 2nd Day Air appears as a shipping option, despite having UPS Ground, UPS Standard, Next Day, and other services selected in Shopify Shipping.
Potential causes identified:
- Package weight and dimensions: UPS Ground has specific limits (up to 150 lbs, 165 inches length+girth combined, 108 inches max length)
- Default package settings: If the default package is set to an Express option (Express envelopes/boxes), only premium services (Next Day Air, 2nd Day Air, International) will display—UPS Ground won’t appear
Suggested solutions:
- Verify shipping location and product weight meet UPS Ground criteria
- Check default package settings under Settings > Shipping and Delivery > Default Package
- Change to a non-Express UPS package or add a custom package with accurate dimensions
The user shared a screenshot of their default package setup for further troubleshooting. One responder noted the provided link appears to show USPS information rather than UPS, requesting clarification.
Status: Ongoing troubleshooting; awaiting verification of package settings and additional details.

Hi, @jc1027 .
Thanks for posting to the forums! Shipping can be pretty tricky at times.
When it comes to UPS rates, you need to ensure the order meets the criteria for UPS ground. This would include the combined products weight as well as the default package size. UPS Ground allows packages up to 150 lbs. Additionally, packages can be up to 165 inches in length and girth combined. Packages can be up to 108 inches in length. As this is a large size package, your issue is most likely the following.
If you have your default package set to an Express option, this would not coincide with UPS Ground, thus it will not show for the customer. The Express envelopes and boxes only ship with UPS Next Day Air, UPS 2nd Day Air, and International services. Other UPS services will not be available when using these packages as the Default Package.
To correct this change the package to another UPS package or add a custom package with accurate dimensions. This can be done via Settings > Shipping and Delivery > Default Package.
I hope that helps! In the meantime, I would love for you to provide your stores domain so I can learn more about your business and how else I can support you.

Hi Skye,
Please see the default package set up as below, let me know if you see anything wrong.
The domain is crystalsbuy.com
The page you reference with your link is all about USPS, not UPS. Do you have other info?
