Build Script to Analyze UPS Shipments for Late Delivery Refunds

Remote, USA Full-time Posted 2025-05-22

Job Description:

We’re looking for a skilled Python developer to create a script that connects to the UPS API, retrieves tracking data for recent shipments, and flags packages that were delivered late according to UPS delivery guarantees (making them eligible for a refund).

This script will help us automate refund requests for late deliveries.

✅ Deliverables:

  • Authenticate with UPS API using OAuth 2.0 (client_credentials or authorization_code flow as needed)
  • Retrieve tracking data for a list of UPS tracking numbers (we can provide a CSV or query a range of shipment dates)
  • Parse delivery dates vs. guaranteed delivery dates
  • Identify and list packages that were delivered late
  • Output a report (CSV or JSON) showing:
  • Tracking number
  • Ship date
  • Scheduled delivery date
  • Actual delivery date
  • Delivery status (on time / late)
  • (Optional but preferred): Integrate with UPS Refund Request API to submit claims automatically
  • Error handling for invalid or failed API calls
  • Script should be easy to run locally (Python 3.x, requests, etc.)

Ideal Skills:

  • Python (required)
  • Experience with UPS API or other carrier APIs (FedEx, USPS, etc.)
  • Familiarity with OAuth 2.0 flows
  • Working with JSON, CSV, and REST APIs
  • Basic knowledge of shipping/delivery logistics is a plus

What We Provide:

  • UPS Developer credentials (client ID / secret)
  • Test tracking numbers
  • UPS Developer documentation
  • Access to a test or production UPS account

Timeline:

We’re hoping to get a working MVP within 1 week, with time after for refinement and optional automation.
