Re: Shipping Label For Returns
I don't ship much with UPS or Fedex, but I'm fairly certain that's how it works. When I print a label from my UPS account I can either pay with my card or have the charge billed to my account so I can pay later. Quote:
UPS Returns Print Return Label and Electronic Return Label fees are billed after the package enters the UPS system.
| I just found that on their website. It looks like they charge a small ($.50) fee to include return labels with outbound shipments, and they only bill you for the shipping if they handle the shipment. From the limited research I've done though it looks like their return label service can only be used for shipments which were originally shipped with them.
Have you considered signing up for a stamps.com account? It's a subscription service but it may be worth it for you if you'll be processing lots of returns. From their software I'm able to create a return shipping label for any customer and have it delivered directly to the customer's email. So if you used stamps.com and any of your customers needed to return an item, you could email them a prepaid USPS return shipping label with your dropshippers address as the return address. By far the easiest way (really the only way) I know of for international sellers to create USPS shipping labels.
Since it appears UPS charges a fee just to create a return label, USPS/stamps.com may be a better option for you to consider.
