Retrieve shipment labels

Learn how to obtain shipping labels from Amazon.

You can use the GetShipmentLabels operation to obtain shipping labels from Amazon for small parcel shipments from Collect/WePay vendors.

Prerequisites

To complete this tutorial, you need:

This operation helps vendors retrieve shipping labels for confirmed orders that require shipment from the vendor's warehouse to Amazon's warehouse. Vendors can retrieve labels through a single API call or multiple API calls. Labels are generated once the shipment request is finalized and a carrier is assigned. Vendors can filter labels by buyer reference numbers, seller warehouse codes, and other parameters.

Business requirements

  • Call the GetShipmentLabels only after a carrier is assigned.
  • If GetShipmentLabels does not return a label or returns Resource Not Found, verify that a carrier has been assigned. Alternatively, you can call GetShipmentDetails to confirm whether the carrier has been assigned.
  • If a carrier has been assigned and the operation still returns no label, open a "Contact Us" case in the Vendor Central portal.
  • Once a label is used for shipping, it can never be reused.

Country-specific business requirements

This API operation is available only in the NA region.
