Step 1: Log in or Sign Up

Go to our Multi-Carrier Shipping Label Maker by logging into your account or signing up if it's your first time. (You can sign up with your Google account if you like). Or go to our dashboard and select Multi-carrier Shipping.

Step 2: Addresses and contact information

Add the addresses of where your package is coming from and where it’s going. Be sure to check the box if either location is a residential address.

Sections marked with a red asterisk (*) indicate required information for creating the shipping label, while the rest are optional.

We recommend filling out all fields, including phone numbers and email addresses for both locations, to ensure smooth communication.

Step 3: Package Information

First, choose the shipping date, which can be any weekday, indicating the day the package will be dropped off at the carrier office. Then, continue with the package type information, which can be a custom package or Carrier Provided Packages (Flat Rate options from USPS, UPS, and FedEx).

Depending on that choice, continue by adding the weight of the package and dimensions if the custom package option was selected.

Click on "show rates" to save the information and then the different options of carriers and costs will appear.

Step 5: Add any extra services

You can add insurance to the package and decide whether a signature is required upon delivery. After making those selections, proceed to the final step, which is payment.

Step 6: Billing Information

Please choose the payment method that works best for you. In the first example image, we already added a payment method, but you can also add a card at that time.

We only accept credit cards.

Step 7: Your order has been created!

Once your payment has been successfully processed, you will be automatically directed to a confirmation page indicating your order has been generated. At this point, you will have the option to save your shipping label as a PDF.

And just like that, you have your shipping label! Simply affix it to your package and you're ready to drop it off at a carrier's office or shipping center.

If you need guidance to print your shipping label, refer to our How to print a shipping label guide.
