Overview
USPS Label Broker® allows ecommerce businesses and merchants to provide customers with an easy way to print outbound and return shipping labels without requiring access to a printer.
After purchasing a USPS or USPS Returns shipment, generate a Label QR Code and share it with the recipient. USPS stores the shipping label in a secure Label Broker repository, allowing the recipient to present the QR code at a participating USPS Post Office to have the shipping label printed.
USPS recommends using Label Broker as an on-demand service when a printer is unavailable.
How It Works
- Purchase a USPS or USPS Returns shipment.
- Generate a Label QR Code for the shipment.
- EasyPost uploads the shipping label to the USPS Label Broker repository.
- Send the Label Broker QR code to the recipient using email, text message, or another communication method.
- The recipient brings the packaged shipment and Label Broker QR code to a participating USPS Post Office.
- A USPS Retail Associate scans the QR code and prints the shipping label.
- If a printer later becomes available, the shipping label can also be printed through USPS.
