Previous Selection | FAQs
ShippingEasy remembers the carrier, service, weight, and packaging type that you use for every order that you ship. As new orders - with the same list of products - pull into your account, ShippingEasy will automatically default to the previous shipment selections that you made.
By automatically assigning your previous selections to new orders, ShippingEasy is also able to provide rate quotes on the ORDERS page so that in an instant, you can buy and print those labels. No set up required!
