Why doesn't UPS option show up as option for customers?

[PetalPatchGirl]

Hey all,

Why can't we have UPS options show up as a choice for customers?  I've recently had a couple broken items be refused by USPS.  One was to me and one was sent from me.  I do pack well!  
I'd like to have it as a shipping option in a listing for my fragile items, and NOT have them shipped USPS.  I'd also like my customers to be able to option for UPS too.
I do not see this as an option on my Etsy shipping options, even though Etsy is offering it.  The shipping rates are different than USPS, obviously, so it should show up for the customer correctly, as an option to ship UPS.
I do know some customers have a preference to one or the other, that is best for their deliveries, as well.

Shipping upgrades are only available for USPS or Canda Post. You would have to manually enter the UPS shipping cost.

That has been a question for years. My guess is either they make more money off USPS higher charges  and don't want that to change or they have some deal with them to not add the UPS ? Ebay offers the calculated option so it is not like it is impossible to do.

Im having the same question as well, and cannot find the option to offer UPS to customers.

Etsy sucks if they can't allow other shipping options.

Etsy offers calculated shipping with USPS, so if you use that, than those are the options.

If you want to offer more options, you need to set them up yourself, not use calculated.

....

at least you have the option of calculated, we have to do everything the long way around.
