Best practices for clean scans & smooth delivery

Use sturdy packaging

Avoid reusing damaged boxes; protect corners and void-fill fragile items.

Measure precisely

Record actual weight and the longest edges; round up as carriers do.

Label last

Seal box first; place label on largest flat surface—no seams or edges.

Customs accuracy

List true descriptions and harmonized codes to prevent border holds.

Track proactively

Share the tracking link with recipients and enable delivery notifications.

Pickups vs drop-off

Schedule a pickup for volume days; drop off for time-critical dispatch.

Smart address validation

We catch problems before they ship

Normalization
We format street lines and postal codes to carrier standards.

Residential/business flags
Rates and delivery commitments depend on location type—marked correctly.

Error tips
Get actionable hints when an address is incomplete or ambiguous.

You remain responsible for accuracy—mislabels can incur carrier adjustments.

Common fixes

Suite/Apt missing
Non-standard abbreviations
ZIP+4 not needed
Rural route clarifications

Refunds & changes

Label refunds
If a label is unused and never scanned, you can request a refund within the allowed window (varies by carrier).

Address/service changes
After purchase, edits typically require voiding the label and creating a new one.

Adjustments
Carriers may audit and adjust for weight/dims/residential status. Accurate inputs reduce surprises.

Security & compliance

We transmit only the minimum data required to generate your label and tracking. Payment processing uses modern TLS and tokenization. Certain contents (e.g., hazmat, dangerous goods, lithium batteries) are restricted and may require special documentation or are not permitted.

By creating a label, you agree to the carrier’s service guide and our terms.

FAQs

Do I need a FedEx account to buy a label?

Not necessarily. You can purchase with a card. If you have a negotiated account, you can connect it to access your rates.

Can I ship internationally?

Yes—enter accurate customs data (description, quantity, HS code, value). Duties/taxes can be billed to recipient or sender depending on service options.

What label size do you generate?

Standard 4×6" (100×150mm) PDF, print-ready for thermal or laser printers.

When does tracking start?

Tracking activates after the first carrier scan—typically at pickup or drop-off.

What if my package is lost or damaged?

File a claim with proof of value and photos of packaging. Declared value (if purchased) may apply per carrier rules.

Troubleshooting

Label won’t print

Open the PDF in a desktop viewer and print at 100% scale. For thermal printers, ensure 4×6" is selected.

Address rejected

Remove special characters, add suite/apartment, and verify postal code. Try business vs residential.

Rate looks high

Lower dimensions, choose Ground instead of Express, or remove signature if not required.

No tracking yet

It activates after the first scan. If you dropped off, allow a few hours for processing.

Heads-up: Hazardous materials, prohibited items, and inaccurate customs declarations are not accepted and may be subject to fines or returns. Always follow carrier packaging guidelines.
