Shipped From zip code on label.

On the old label print program, when printing a label, you could put in a different zip code for 'shipping from'.  I'm not referring to my return address.  Up next to the UPSP  info it says 'shipped from zip code' and you could enter the zip code of your post office if you were taking the item to the post office.  I do not see anywhere on the label print where I can now do this.  Anyone know how this can be done while leaving my return address as is?

I personally don't remember a 'shipped from zip code' choice.

 

Have you tried clicking on 'request carrier pick up'? so you don't have to go to the post office?

That could be done with PayPal labels but I don't know about the new system.

Re: Shipped From zip code on label.

For some reason, eBay removed this option when they revised the label creation pages. I expect this is because no one on the shipping team understands why sellers need it. I used to use it all the time years ago when I used my address for the return address but changed the label to the zip code I was mailing from on days I put my packages out for the carrier to pick up at the office in another zip code.

 

What I've seen eBay suggest is to use the post office you're mailing from as the return address. Of course that makes no sense, so until they fix it, if they fix it (I've been repeatedly requesting it for a couple of years), you'll have to figure out out a workaround. Possibly use a different label printing service...

 

You can use the Tell us what you think link on the label creation page.
