Magento – Change the UPS shipping label size in Magento CE

magento-1.8shippingups

Any ideas where and how I can change the size of the generated labels for UPS? We're getting giant labels that are unusable.

Best Answer

By default there is no way to resize UPS Label size in Magento as Magento get Label Image Format in GIF and creating PDF from that.

UPS API provide option to get Label Image Format in GIF or Thermal print format (EPL2,ZPL,STARPL,SPL)

For GIF format there is no any options to pass label size,however for Thermal print type, API provide options for Height and Width of label size.

<LabelStockSize>
    <Height>6</Height>
    <Width>4</Width>
</LabelStockSize>

Yo can get Label in 6x4 or 8x4 INCH. For This you need to create custom module that override UPS function. You can find code for API in class

Mage_Usa_Model_Shipping_Carrier_Ups

app/code/core/Mage/Usa/Model/Shipping/Carrier/Ups.php

and method name _formShipmentRequest()

Hope this will help

The Mage_Usa carrier models are half-baked.. I suggest core replacement in app/code/local/Mage/Usa/... E.g. I replaced their protected properties with:

protected $_apiUrls = array(
    self::DEVELOPMENT => array(
        'ShipConfirm' => 'https://wwwcie.ups.com/ups.app/xml/ShipConfirm',
        'ShipAccept'  => 'https://wwwcie.ups.com/ups.app/xml/ShipAccept',
        'XAV'  => 'https://wwwcie.ups.com/ups.app/xml/XAV',  // Only works for NY or CA addresses
        'Void'  => 'https://wwwcie.ups.com/ups.app/xml/Void',
    ),
    self::PRODUCTION => array(
        'ShipConfirm' => 'https://onlinetools.ups.com/ups.app/xml/ShipConfirm',
        'ShipAccept'  => 'https://onlinetools.ups.com/ups.app/xml/ShipAccept',
        'XAV'  => 'https://onlinetools.ups.com/ups.app/xml/XAV',
        'Void'  => 'https://onlinetools.ups.com/ups.app/xml/Void',
    )
);

Then change the code to fetch the URL like:

$url = $this->_apiUrls[(int)$this->getConfigFlag(self::IS_PRODUCTION)]['ShipConfirm'];

Magento1.9 – Generate UPS Shipping Label

I have found how to fix this!

This was due to a too long shipper address (more than the 35 max characters allowed by UPS) and a little bug in Magento.

In Mage_Usa_Model_Shipping_Carrier_Ups::_formShipmentRequest method the address line 1 for shipper is set like this:

$addressPart->addChild('AddressLine1', $request->getShipperAddressStreet());
$addressPart->addChild('AddressLine2', $request->getShipperAddressStreet2());

As you could see the address line 1 is set with getRecipientAddressStreet() and NOT getRecipientAddressStreet1() which leads to insert address line 1 AND 2 in address line 1 shipper address in UPS request.

Could simple be fixed by replacing getRecipientAddressStreet by getRecipientAddressStreet1. I would recommend to extends class in a module.
