How do I cancel a refund request?

What to do when you still need to use a label but you've requested a refund.

Updated over a week ago
  • You can't cancel refund requests: There isn't a way to cancel a refund request for a label once you have submitted the refund 🙈

    • Depending on whether you're shipping with USPS or UPS, you might still be able to use your label.

USPS labels

  • Using a refunded USPS label: If you request a refund for a USPS label in Pirate Ship but later decide you still need it, you can simply use the label if it was already printed.

    • Once USPS sees that the label has been used, the refund request will automatically be canceled at no penalty to you!

  • Refunded labels must be printed to be used: Using a refunded label only works if you have already printed your label.

    • If you haven't printed your USPS label and you submit it for a refund, you'll need to create a new label from scratch. In this case, we recommend using our Duplicate Shipment feature to quickly make a copy of the label that you need to repurchase 👍

UPS labels

  • Refunded UPS labels can't be used: Once you refund a UPS label, you won't be able to use that label anymore—even if you've already printed it.

    • If you hand UPS a package with a refunded label, UPS will route the package to an Overgoods location. These locations are facilities where UPS holds packages that can't be recovered 🙈

  • Unused labels are refunded after 28 days: Keep in mind that our software automatically refunds labels after 28 days.

    • If your UPS label is auto-refunded, you'll need to recreate that label and not use the original refunded label when shipping out your package.
