Pay-on-Use Returns Shipping Solution for
E-commerce Businesses


Deliver a Great Returns Experience While Saving Time and Money

Today’s online shoppers expect an easy and free package returns experience. But, ecommerce businesses have had to absorb the cost of providing a USPS return shipping label – whether the label was used or not – until now!

Introducing Pay-on-Use Returns Labels from Endicia!

Unlike regular USPS labels, Pay-on-Use Returns™ labels are not pre-paid. Postage is only deducted from your Endicia postage account if and when the return label is scanned in the mailstream.

This means you can now provide your customers the convenience of USPS return shipping labels without the risk of paying for or spending valuable time requesting refunds for unused return labels.

Endicia’s Pay-on-Use Returns service is available with a valid Endicia Professional or Endicia Label Server account, as well as through select Endicia Integrated Partners.

Only Pay for Return Shipping Labels That Are Actually Used!

1. Select your USPS Return Service mail class:

4. Enjoy full visibility for all Pay-on-Use Returns labels:

  • You can easily check the scan and payment status of each return label with the Pay-on-Use Returns transaction report in your online account page
