Paperless labels, or label QR Codes, are barcodes generated during label purchase to be scanned and printed at a later time. This code is then scanned at a drop-off location where a paper label is printed and placed on the package.
Stamps.com offers the following label QR codes:
-
Shipment QR codes for outgoing shipments. Only available in the Stamps.com mobile app.
-
Return shipment QR codes for return labels. Available in the Stamps.com web app and PC software.
To find USPS post offices that accept label QR codes for scanning and printing labels, search using the USPS locator.
UPS label QR codes can be scanned at any UPS retail store.
Label QR codes will expire within 7 days of purchase. You will need to repurchase the label if your QR code expired before it was used to print a label.
Expired, unused USPS label QR codes are eligible for a refund. You must submit a refund request through the web app or PC Software. Learn how to refund USPS postage.
Refunds cannot be processed in the mobile app.
