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.

How are manifest files handled?
Manifest close-outs auto-generate once batches finish. Operations can download PDFs or send digital versions to carriers.
