When creating shipping labels, the Ship Date will default to the current day. However, if you’re creating labels before they enter the mail stream, you should select a Future Ship Date.
By choosing an accurate Ship Date, your SCAN forms will include the correct packages. As well as keeping your Postmaster happy!
Each shipper has a maximum number of days to select a Future Ship Date.
- USPS: up to six days
- FedEx: up to 10 days
