I'm about to ship a package but...

[younghyeupar_0]

I noticed that there's something that shouldn't be sent.

I already packed duly and attached USPS shipping label created on eBay.

However, to take the thing out from the package, I had to cut the tape sealing.

Is it Ok to drop it for shipping?

The lable is totally cutted across, but definitely not damaged the barcodes..

Please see the photo.

Buyer might be suspicious, but it's fine to tape it back together and mail like that.

I would send a message explaining this to buyer before shipping.
So the shipping progress would be fine with that label?

It'd be easy enough to reprint and attach an uncut label. You might sleep better. Good luck!

Yes, the machines only look at the tracking barcode and the OCR of the delivery address for routing to the destination post office, and then the carrier reads the delivery address for delivery. Next time, reopen and reseal it from the bottom.

No. I can't reprint it as 24 hours have passed already.

I'm not sure if I 'void' the label then reprinted it without additional payment.

That's why I'm asking here. Thanks.

Yes. I can easily see the address is well visible, and the barcodes are totally fine.

I know I first thought to open from bottom but soon realized that the bottom of the box was quite firm.

I didn't want to damage that hard bottom to keep my item safe.

I wondered the officer in USPS won't send the package if he/she finds the label has been damaged...

Thanks!

^^^ Gotcha.^^^

I just played with one of mine... Yep, I think I would have had to void and reprint, meaning 're-pay'.

Yeah... I think as neatly as you have it, it'll fly.

Cut it carefully from the box. tape it together and print a copy.

Open the box on the bottom.

A label cannot be reprinted if more than 24 hour have passed since it was purchased.

A label cannot be reprinted if the seller has submitted a "Void" request, even if less than 24 hours have passed. If the label has been voided, then the only way to print another label would be to pay for it.

The label shown in your image is OK to use.
