Frequently asked questions

Can we reprint labels later in the day?

Yes. Search by order, tote, or tracking number and reprint with original contract terms.

Do packers see order notes?

Order-specific notes, gift messages, and packaging instructions appear during verification.

How are manifest files handled?

Manifest close-outs auto-generate once batches finish. Operations can download PDFs or send digital versions to carriers.
