Getting a USPS shipping label refund

You can request a refund to 30 days from the date on which you first printed a shipping label. When you request a refund for USPS shipping labels, the postage amount is credited to your postage balance. The refund process can take up to 20 days because USPS wants see if it can detect your shipment in its mailstream before crediting your account.

You can request a refund from the shipping label's record on the History screen.

NOTE:

For UPS and FedEx, when you cancel a shipping label the postage won’t be credited. Instead, it will simply not be applied to your invoice from UPS/FedEx. Refer to How to cancel a shipping label.
