Buy a shipping label
Frequently asked questions

Overview

If you self-fulfill your Marketplace orders, you can purchase discounted shipping labels in Seller Center by using Ship with Walmart or via Walmart APIs. In this guide, we’ll show you how to purchase a label in Seller Center.

Notes

API support is available for USPS, FedEx and Yanwen. UPS isn't supported.

Buy a shipping label

Step 1 — Get started

Navigate to the Orders page in Seller Center.

Pro tip

We recommend configuring your default shipping and label settings first to apply to all future label printing settings for your orders, although it isn’t required.

Notes

You’re responsible for any applicable charges resulting from misclassification or reclassification because of incorrect package type, size or weight. 

Step 2 — Purchase the label

Once you’re ready to ship orders, follow the instructions below for ordering labels for individual orders or for several orders at once. However, you can only buy shipping labels from Walmart for seller-fulfilled orders.

Individual orders:

In the Unshipped tab select the underlined purchase order (PO) number for the package you want to ship. Be sure to check the Fulfilled by column for the item you want to ship, and ensure it says Seller.

Choose Ship items and under Shipping details, select Ship with Walmart to enter in your preferred package type and weight.

Select the Estimate rate  button to calculate the estimated shipping label rates and delivery methods. The prices shown are estimates and may vary by the actual weight and size once scanned by the carrier. The final cost of the shipping label will be reflected in your Payments Statement Summary as a Walmart Shipping Label Service Charge.

Bulk orders:

In the Unshipped tab, select the checkboxes next to multiple packages you want to ship and select Process orders.

Complete the required information for each row and select the Update  button to retrieve information and pricing to generate your shipping label.

To ship from the China fulfillment center, change the Ship from field for items shipping from China. Provide the required information in Mandarin for Item description and the Ship from address. Then, choose the item that contains the checkbox to accurately state the contents in the package. 
Finally, select all the rows that you want to proceed buying labels for and choose the Buy Shipping button to complete the label purchase.

Pro tip

Select the Highlight missing fields button to learn which fields you need to fill out per package to complete the purchase (e.g., Ship method, Add-ons and Declared value).

Notes

The first time you use Ship with Walmart to print your shipping label, you’ll need to agree to our Terms of Service and any terms and agreements required by our carriers and partners. You may see an agreement popup window if any of the terms agreed to are updated or changed. Once you’ve read and agreed to all required terms, select the Accept and Submit buttons. 

Step 3 — Print the label

Once your label has been generated, select the Print label button. After you’ve printed your label and are ready to ship, select the Mark as Shipped  button in Order details. Once you mark the order as shipped, the label can’t be canceled or modified.      

Notes

Access to preferred carrier rates for eligible shipments are subject to this program’s Terms of Service.

Frequently asked questions

What should I keep in mind when shipping from China to the U.S.?

For custom requirements, you’ll need to verify and provide the From Address in Mandarin if you’re shipping from China. Additionally, you must accurately select package content information and verify the description of the package contents in Mandarin. Yanwen carrier is only applicable for shipments from China to the U.S. If your item is already mapped to ship from a China fulfillment center, the system will display the information required to complete the purchase.  

After you’re ready with the shipment, you can call Yanwen offline (if you already have a contact) or navigate to Yanwen’s portal to schedule a pickup. You can also look for the pickup coverage through the portal.

When will I be charged for the shipping label? 

If you buy a shipping label from USPS, you'll be charged at the time of label creation. Refunds for unused USPS labels may take up to 30 days to reflect in your account. For all other delivery methods, you won’t be charged until the label is scanned by the carrier.

You can download the Ship with Walmart carrier reconciliation report in Seller Center to view a breakdown of your estimated and final label charges, insurance costs, carrier scanned dimensions and weights and more. After purchasing the label, it may take a few business days for the final charges to appear in the report.

My item was lost or damaged in transit. What should I do? 

Walmart isn’t responsible for lost or damaged items in transit. FedEx and USPS will cover packages with a value of up to $100. Additionally, Yanwen will cover a package valued up to CNY400. If you used FedEx, you could download a picture proof of delivery (PPOD) from the Orders page in Seller Center to confirm when a customer claims their items were lost or damaged in transit. Reach out to your carrier of choice to file a claim. For more information, visit Dispute standards.  

My Ship From address isn't accurate. How do I update it? 

Why am I being asked to accept multiple terms and conditions when I try to create a label? 

Can I use my own carrier rates when creating a label in Seller Center?

Why was my package delivered by a different carrier than the one I chose when purchasing my label? 

What if my Ship From address isn’t in Yanwen’s pickup coverage? 

How can I contact Walmart and Yanwen for support?
