If your customer needs to return an item to you, ShippingEasy allows you to purchase and generate a prepaid label. Customers can only receive an email confirmation if an email address is included in their order details.

Depending on how many return labels you need, there are a couple of places within the app where returns can be created from:

This article describes how to create and buy a prepaid return label from Global Search.

  1. Type the shipment, tracking number or recipient name in the Global Search box in the left side Navigation from anywhere in the app.

  2. Click the Create Prepaid Return Shipment option listed in the "Actions" box on the right.

A prepaid return shipping label will be automatically created on the READY TO SHIP page. You will be guided to that same page and a confirmation message will appear briefly at the top of the page, letting you know a return label has been set up for the selected order.

Buy Prepaid Return Label

After you have created the prepaid return label, you will be taken to the READY TO SHIP page. Once there you will see that the address and shipping method for the return label will duplicate the original shipment by default.

After you have reviewed the order if there are no further edits to make, follow these steps to purchase the prepaid return.

Buy return label instantly:

  • Click the Buy Label button. Doing so will charge the appropriate carrier account for the postage amount of the return shipment and the label will move to the SHIPMENT HISTORY page.

  3. Locate the shipment in the "Purchased Labels" box on the left, and click on the green Print button under the status/actions column.

    Note

    If you have opted to have your return labels emailed to your customers, this step will be skipped. The return shipment will appear in your SHIPMENT HISTORY and your customer will receive an email with their return label attached as a PDF. Learn more about sending prepaid return labels.

  4. Click to save or download the label to your computer - depending on your browser, the options will vary. A new tab will open in your browser with the pdf file of your label.

  5. Send your customer an email with the label attached. They will need to print the label (which they can do on a desktop laser printer), attach it to the box or envelope, and drop it in the mail.
