I agree. We have to cram in shipping company, shipping mode (ground, next day, etc) and often account number in the current field.  So 30 characters would be best.

I'd like to throw my 2 cents (or maybe even $$$) back into the pot...
 
Even though expanding the length of the field would be nice, I would rather see additional fields added to allow for UPS automation.  If you refer back to my post (this tread) on 11/09/05, you'll see that adding more field could allow for complete automation with UPS.  As it stands we still have to enter payment terms, account numbers, etc.
 
I guess it would be nice to know (besides the multiple bin features which I'm very excited about) what is on your list and approximate release dates.  Maybe that will be a hand out in Phoenix?

I'll ante up to 2 bits...
 
I'll recap our current method:
 
We import shipping info into UPS via ODBC connect from DBA.  The shipping person enters the SO # and it populates as many fields as possible.  HOWEVER since DBA has only one field for "ship via" the MUST TYPE NOTES for Freight Collect or 3rd Party Billing instructions.  We then HIGHLIGHT this info for the shipper to make adjustments to the UPS screen.
 
Yesterday, we had 3 shipments (FC & 3rd party) that were shipped PRE-PAID IN ERROR... case in point why I'd rather have additional fields instead of one longer one!  (Thank goodness my customers are understanding.)

We have the same problems as Lennette with this issue.  UPS can import certain data but not everything, and if the ship via and account number are not entered properly, it can be an expensive mistake.
 
Also, it would be nice if the countries and states/provinces were selected from a drop-down box (similar to online forms).  This is not nearly as important as the ship via file, however.
 
If we can eliminate double entry by different people of the same data, our mistakes will decline and productivity will increase.

I'm curious.... so just how many $$$$ would bring this to the top of the list?
 
Maybe it could be a paid add-on feature for those that REALLY REALLY REALLY want it NOW.

On a related item, how about adding Incoterms?
