Can I reprint a shipping label when USPS loses my package? USPS lost the package and now I have to send the buyer a replacement. Can I reprint the same label USPS lost? Thanks

No.

You can purchase another label, but the original was marked "used" in the USPS system as soon as the first scan happened.

If you have never owned a dachshund, no explanation is possible.

Yep!

Try to re-use that label and you will have all kinds of headaches...especially if the original package eventually shows up. USPS may decide to charge you for cheating the postal system.

See if you can request a refund on postal charge on the lost package since the package never arrived which means that they did not complete their service so i think that you can get refunded for the cost of the shipping even though you cannot recover the cost of the item (unless it was insured of course.)

My logic is if the package was never marked delivered than it is still in a loop getting half way to it's destination then showing up again at it's origin. I've tracked plenty of USPS packages that traveled thousands of miles in the wrong direction to suddenly show up at their destination as if from out of nowhere.

No, once the shipping label is scanned, it's used and can't be refunded or reused.

You'll have to purchase a new label.

Have a great day.

Yes you can

Sorry, but you are mistaken. When a label has been used scanned even once, even if that package is lost, you can not reuse the same label the tracking will show it as used. Any additional labels created for the same tracking will be deemed as insufficient postage by the post office and either charged to the recipient or the seller.
Also this post is an old thread that’s 2 years old. There was really no point in dragging it up to comment on it.
