Helpful Tip

If you make a mistake during any step of shipment creation, simply click the relevant step at the top of the screen or use the Edit buttons on the right side of each section in Step 4: Payment & Confirmation before submitting.

Part One - Confirmation of Shipping Items

The first step is to confirm that the items you're shipping are in your possession, and that you will be generating the shipping label and sending the package yourself.

Important Notice: This is NOT a shipment request through your PostScan Mail inbox. This method allows you to pay for and print your own shipping labels, using your own packaging!


Please note: PostScan Mail Shipper is designed for generating shipping labels for items you currently have in your possession. It is not intended for use with items stored in your PostScan Mail virtual mailbox. Be sure that the items you are shipping are physically with you before proceeding.
