Archiving a shipping carrier in Ordoro helps clean up your carrier list without removing historical shipment data. Once a carrier is archived, it becomes inactive for new rate requests and label creation, but existing shipment records remain fully accessible.
Note: Archiving is only available for non-USPS carriers. If you need to archive a USPS account, please contact support@ordoro.com for assistance.
Topics
Settings
- The carrier will be marked as Archived and shown in grey on your Shippers page.
- Note: USPS accounts will disappear entirely from your carrier list when archived.
- Archived carriers are no longer available for rate requests or label creation.
- You can unarchive a non-USPS carrier at any time from the same Shippers page. Hover your mouse underneath Archived, and click the button to Unarchive.
