Schedule a Pickup & Print Shipping Labels

To schedule pickup for an Easy Ship order, you may opt for one of the following methods:

Method I: Schedule pickups for each order individually

On the Manage Orders page, click the Schedule Pickup button for the order you want to ship.

Note: All orders that can be delivered by Amazon Easy Ship will only have the Schedule Pickup button, and you are required to deliver them using Easy Ship. There is no separate requirement to confirm the order. Once your order has been picked up by the Logistic Services Provider (LSP), shipment will be confirmed automatically. For the remaining orders, you should use an alternate carrier, and confirm the shipment once you have shipped the product.

1. On the Schedule Pickup page, verify the product(s) and enter the following details: 
   
   1. Serial number: You need to enter the Serial number/IMEI during pickup scheduling to generate a warranty slip. You can ship this to the buyer, which can then be used by the buyer as proof of purchase. The Serial number field will only be applicable for Mobile, Cameras, Television and Laptops.
   2. Package Identifier: This field helps you enter an identifier for an order which will be printed on the label and can be used in pick and pack of your orders. It is an optional field and will print Order ID on the label if no input is entered by you.
   3. Package Details: Includes the weight and dimensions of the package. Weigh the package with all the packing materials included and package dimensions of the outer-most shipping box.
      Note: 
      

      • Presently, Amazon Easy Ship does not support using different packages for separate parts of one order. This means that it is not possible to split an item in an order into multiple shipments or pickups.
      • Amazon Easy Ship also does not support splitting a shipment into multiple packages. You have to ship all products in the order in a single package.
   4. Get Pickup slots: Once you have filled in the above information, you can click on Get pickup slots button to view the available slots when your order can be picked up. Select a date and time window during which you want the package to be picked up.
      Note: 
      

      • You may schedule pickups up until 15 minutes prior to the start time of each slot. For example, you may schedule pickups for “10:00 AM -01:00 PM” slot till 9:45 AM.
      • Please make sure that you schedule pickups before the last slot (1:00 pm to 4:00 pm) on Estimated Ship Date.
   5. Easy Ship fee will be displayed below the slot information. Verify the fee and make sure that you are shipping all the items in a single box. Click the Schedule Pickup button.
2. On the Print Documents page, the shipping label and invoice are provided in the Documents required for this package section. To print the label, click the Print link given on the page along with the label. Once the label and invoice are is successfully printed, you can go back to Manage Orderspage to schedule another order.
