Using USPS Shipping Labels on Etsy

With Etsy Shipping Labels, you can purchase and print USPS shipping labels directly from your Etsy shop. Here are a few things you should know:

Etsy Shipping Labels are available to US sellers who accept Etsy Payments or PayPal as payment methods.
Sellers can print labels to ship to both domestic and international addresses. Learn more about international shipping labels.
There are no additional fees from Etsy to use USPS Shipping Labels. The total cost of your USPS Shipping Label is the sum of all shipping fees (postage, signature confirmation, Shipsurance parcel insurance).

Viewing shipping label costs

The cost of your USPS Shipping Label and label-related fees will appear on your Etsy bill as Shipping Label. If you purchase parcel insurance on Etsy, the cost of insurance will appear separately on your bill as Shipsurance Parcel Insurance and will include the USPS Shipping Label number.

We’ll also provide a breakdown of these costs on:

The label purchase page

The email confirmation after purchasing a label

Your label and order receipts

Accessing USPS Shipping Labels

Go to Shop Manager > Orders & Shipping > Sold orders and click Print Shipping Label. You’ll also see this option on your Receipt pages.
If you haven’t done so already, go through the setup process and set your default Ship From address.

Available shipping methods

There are a number of shipping methods available with Etsy Shipping Labels. Etsy also provides a variety of flat-rate packaging options for each of these shipping methods, but you’re welcome to use your own packaging.
