OOPS, Printed Labels on a Sunday!

[Former_Member]

This morning I printed a couple of Etsy shipping labels, thinking that it was Monday, not Sunday (I shouldn't be allowed online before I've had at least two cups of coffee). Can I reprint them tomorrow with the correct "ship date" on them? Or will I need to use PayPal Multi-Order shipping? (and if so, how will I go about getting a refund for the Etsy shipping fees?) The orders were paid through DC, in case that's relevant.

I've searched through the threads for relevant info but came up empty-handed. Any help would be much appreciated. =)

Its okay, they will still ship and or mail with no trouble.

I've never had the postal clerk shut me down on shipping because the invoice was printed on a weekend. And in some smaller communities there is NO mail on Saturday's. Still able to ship with that same label printed on a Saturday or Sunday.

Relax girl.

I'm 95% sure there won't be a problem so I wouldn't worry about trying to reprint those labels.

For future reference, though, here's the Etsy help article about the subject: https://www.etsy.com/help/article/3108?ref=help_search_result

The only way they wouldn't ship is if it was the day there's an increase in rates.

So, no problem!

I've done that before. They ship no problem.

I've always been able to ship just fine regardless of the date on the label. I make that mistake more than I'd like to admit!

I've done that a few times...packed up the order, printed the labels, and then for some reason couldn't get down to the Post Office that day. Just took them the next day and there was no issue!

Well that is great to hear, thank you all very much! And thank you Vanessa for the article link.

This girl will certainly relax. =)

Ditto. I haven't had a problem. I find it easier sometimes to print my labels the night before and haven't had any trouble. I do wish, though, there was a way to time the "your package has shipped!" email that etsy sends out - my customers probably know that's not exactly right when they get that email on a sunday night!

I print the night before I ship pretty often. Never had a problem. Sometimes I will print them on a Sunday and drop them off in the post office's blue box that night, knowing that they will be picked up in the morning. Everything has made it so far.
