Using the correct type of return shipping label is essential for efficient processing at Easy Book Prep. Each type of label comes with unique requirements, and certain formats may result in delays or additional fees if they don’t meet our standards. This guide will help you understand the different types of shipping labels, recognize issues that may arise, and ensure your label is prepared correctly.
UPS Prepaid Shipping Labels
Description: A standard, prepaid UPS label with a barcode for tracking and shipping.
Requirements: Must be a high-resolution PDF file with all barcodes clearly visible. Barcodes should be scannable, and the label should fit entirely on one page.
Issues to Avoid: Avoid blurry barcodes and low-quality images, as these may cause scanning errors.
FedEx, USPS, and DHL Prepaid Labels
Description: Standard prepaid shipping labels from other major carriers.
Requirements: These labels should be PDF files, fitting one page with a clearly visible barcode for tracking.
Issues to Avoid: Avoid multi-page labels or any label that isn’t a full PDF.

QR Code-Based Drop-Off Labels
Description: Some return labels use QR codes rather than traditional barcodes, which require in-person drop-off at a carrier location.
Requirements: Although we can accept these QR code labels, they may incur additional fees due to the manual processing needed.
Issues to Avoid: 2D or QR code labels are usable but should be avoided when possible due to potential added fees and delays.
Multi-Page Labels
Description: Labels that span multiple pages, with different pages containing the barcode and other relevant information.
Requirements: Ensure the main shipping barcode is on one page. Additional RMA or other details can be on separate pages, but please ensure they are all part of the same PDF file.
Issues to Avoid: Do not send labels that are split across multiple pages without shrinking them to fit a single page, as this will lead to processing errors.
Placeholder Image: Example of a multi-page label where the barcode is clearly shown on the first page.

Image or Screenshot Labels:
Labels sent as images, screenshots, or photos often have quality issues, making them unusable. Only PDF labels downloaded directly from your browser are accepted.
Labels Requiring Postage:
All return labels must be prepaid, including the correct postage. We cannot process labels that require additional postage, so please verify this before submitting.
Incorrect File Formats:
Only PDF files are accepted. Do not send images or links to the label, as these cannot be processed.
Multi-Page Formatting:
Labels with barcodes split across multiple pages are not scannable. If necessary, reduce the size to fit the entire barcode on a single page.
