I appreciate the detailed information you provided with your concern, @TwoSkunkyBeers. Let me provide you some insights about discontinuation of UPS and how you can receive updates in QuickBooks.

Yes, you're correct. UPS has discontinued support for the Shipping Manager software. Intuit is in the process of transitioning to a new Shipping Manager platform, which you can expect to see this May. In the meantime, if you need to create shipping labels, it's recommended to do so directly on the UPS website.

Also, since you’ve registered your email, keep an eye out for any updates that will be sent to you. Additionally, our QuickBooks Blog offers the latest information on new features added to QuickBooks.

For further information on the new shipping experience in QuickBooks Desktop, refer to this article: Get ready for a new shipping experience in QuickBooks Desktop. It features a completely new interface designed for all your shipping needs within QuickBooks Desktop.

Furthermore, to see the newest features and product improvements, consider updating your QuickBooks Desktop to the latest version.
