How to refund UPS labels

The refund process for UPS labels is the same as for USPS labels, but faster

Updated over a week ago

If you need to refund a label you bought with UPS, the process isn't too different from USPS ๐Ÿ˜‰

Here's everything you need to know about how refunding UPS labels works on Pirate Ship:

Click the Refund Button on your shipment page to refund a UPS label

  • Refunding a UPS Label: To refund your UPS label, click the label you want to refund on your Ship page and navigate to the bottom of that shipment's page. There, you'll see a red "Refund Label" button ๐Ÿ‘Œ

    • Here's how that looks:

UPS approves refund requests for labels within an hour

  • Fast Refund Approval: Whether you have printed out your label or not, it only takes about an hour for UPS refunds to get approved!

Pirate Ship auto-refunds any unused labels after 28 days

  • Use UPS Labels ASAP: UPS prefers that you use your labels as soon as possible after purchasing them. If UPS considers a label too old to use, there's a chance that the package will be routed to a UPS Overgoods location, which is a facility where UPS holds packages that are unable to be recovered ๐Ÿ™ˆ

    • Recreating Old Labels as Best Practice: If a UPS label has been sitting without being used, the best practice is to simply recreate it and pay for a new one!

      • 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.

  • Don't Use Refunded or Duplicate Labels: If you use a refunded label or if you use a label more than once, that package will get sent to a UPS Overgoods location and will be unable to be recovered ๐Ÿ˜…

Where do the refunds go?

  • UPS Refunds Go to Your Account Balance: Like all refunds, you'll see the dollar amount for the label you refunded applied to your Account Balance.

    • Check Your Balance: You can check your Account Balance in your Reports page, where you can also see your Refund History.

  • Credit Your Original Payment Method: Once a refund is approved and applied back to your Account Balance, you can also click "Refund Credit" on your Reports page to send it back to your original payment method ๐Ÿ‘

    • Here's how that looks:
