Refund/Void available after printing SCAN form or Manifest
Users can now find the "Refund" or "Void Label" button in Shipment History, even after printing the SCAN Form or Manifest. Previously, this button was disabled once printing occurred. The button adheres to carrier guidelines, such as USPS's 30-day refund period for labels that have not been shipped. Please note that this feature applies only to USPS. Additionally, the "Refund Label" button will not be available if tracking for the label has begun.
USPS Rate Change
USPS has implemented new rates starting January 19, 2025. Read more about USPS Rate Changes.
Minimum postage refill change
The minimum amount a user can add to their postage has been lowered from $10 to $5. This change applies only to USPS postage refills.
FedEx Importer of Record Multi-piece
An Importer of Record (IOR) ensures that imported goods comply with all customs regulations. This includes managing paperwork, valuing goods, and paying associated fees such as duties and tariffs. Additionally, the IOR must adhere to the destination country's import laws. This functionality was introduced in the last release for single shipments and has now been expanded to include multi-piece shipments.
DHL Express for Multi-Carrier plans
Users of multi-carrier plans can add a DHL Express account to their list of available carriers.

Schedule pickup default sender address
The Schedule Pickup screen previously displayed the address of the onboarded carrier by default. Now, it will automatically show the sender address of the logged-in user instead. This means that the default address on the Schedule Pickup screen will be the sender address of the logged-in user.
