Step-by-Step Process to Receive Shipping Labels from LuggageToShip
Step 1: Complete Your Shipment Booking

Before you can receive your shipping labels, you must first complete your shipment booking with LuggageToShip.
To do this, log into your LuggageToShip Account and follow the step-by-step process to book your shipment. Choose your preferred carrier (FedEx, UPS, or DHL), fill in your sender and receiver details, select insurance coverage, and finalize your order.

Once your booking is confirmed, you’re ready to receive your shipping labels.
Step 2: How You’ll Receive Your Shipping Labels
After your order is successfully placed, LuggageToShip automatically generates your shipping labels and sends them to your registered email address.
Domestic Shipments (within the USA)
If your shipment is domestic, the shipping labels are typically prepared and emailed within a short period after order confirmation.
International Shipments
For international shipments, the process can take slightly longer as additional checks are needed to comply with customs and international shipping regulations. Your shipping labels will still be delivered to your email once verification is complete.
You’ll receive:
- A PDF shipping label for printing
- A shipment summary document
- Instructions for attaching your label securely
Step 3: If You Don’t Have a Printer
If you don’t have access to a printer, LuggageToShip offers a free label mailing service (available for eligible U.S. customers).
When you book at least 2–3 business days before your shipping date, we can mail your printed shipping label directly to you — along with label tags, pouches, and cable ties (if applicable).
This helps you get ready without the hassle of printing at home.
📨 Note: While this service is free of charge, it’s not guaranteed and may not be available for Basic services. Regardless, your shipping label will always be emailed once your order is processed.
Step 4: Request Mailing of Shipping Labels
To request that LuggageToShip mails your shipping labels to you, follow these steps:
- Go to your LuggageToShip Dashboard.
- Navigate to My Shipment > Please Complete > Label & Tag Delivery.
- Click on “Label & Tag Delivery” or “Deliver Labels to This Address.”

- A popup form will appear asking for the recipient’s mailing details.

- Fill in the form and click Save.
Once submitted, LuggageToShip will process your request and mail your shipping labels and tagging supplies to your provided address.
Step 5: How to Attach Your Shipping Labels
Properly attaching your shipping labels ensures your package or luggage reaches its destination without issues. Follow these steps:
For Luggage or Bags
- Obtain free labeling supplies (label pouches, luggage tags, and cable ties) from any local FedEx or DHL location. You may need to show your prepaid shipping label.
- Print your label (or use the one mailed to you). Insert it into the label pouch with the barcode facing outward.
- Stick the pouch securely to the luggage tag.
- Attach the tag to the top handle of your luggage using a cable tie.
- Place the summary paper provided by LuggageToShip inside your luggage or case.
For Boxes
- Print the emailed label and attach it firmly to the top of the box.
- Use clear packing tape to seal all sides of the label to prevent it from coming off during transit.
Step 6: What to Do If You Don’t Have Label Supplies
If you don’t have luggage tags or label pouches, don’t worry! You can still secure your labels easily.
- For domestic orders, use strong tape to attach the label to your suitcase or box.
- For international orders, it’s best to visit your carrier’s local office (FedEx, UPS, or DHL). They will print your labels for you and provide free labeling supplies if you show your prepaid label.

Why Label Weight Might Differ from Actual Weight
Sometimes the label weight printed on your shipping document may differ from your luggage’s actual weight.
This is completely normal. When you book a shipment, LuggageToShip uses an average estimated weight and size based on the item category you selected.
Once the carrier (FedEx, UPS, or DHL) collects your shipment, they’ll remeasure the weight and dimensions. If there’s a difference, the final billing is adjusted accordingly—but your package will never be refused because of a label weight discrepancy.
FAQs About Receiving Shipping Labels
