[QUOTE="freeloader, post: 400400, member: 12163"] I believe you are talking about GSR's (guaranteed service refunds). Typically the shipper tracks all their shipments to make sure they were delivered on time. If they were not delivered on time, they are eligible for a refund. No problem there as you can track up to 25 packages at a time on the UPS website or use the shipping software to do the tracking for you. When you want to track in bulk (thousands of tracking numbers at a time), then you need to get the xml key, developer key or whatever it is. Even then I think that you can only track shipments sent using your shipper number (since the shipper number is part of the tracking number). This prevents abuse from companies who are in the business of tracking in bulk to get GSR's for others. On top of that, requesting a GSR is not a simple or automated process. Only the shipper can request a GSR and they must make a phone call to do it. There is a lot of work involved just to get your money back, and I'm sure it was designed that way on purpose. Maybe Hoaxster or someone else can add to this. [/QUOTE]
