About

LSO, also called Lone Star Overnight, is a US-based regional carrier focused on regional and overnight delivery. It serves businesses shipping across Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, other supported locations, and Mexico-bound shipments.

When you connect LSO to ShipStation, your team gets one place to run regional, overnight, and cross-border shipments without bouncing between tools. You can compare estimated rates, choose the right LSO service for each order, print labels in batches, and keep tracking tied to every shipment.

ShipStation also gives you tighter control over day-to-day work. Use your connected LSO account details to rate and label orders inside the same workflow you use for other carriers. Keep return labels moving, organize separate LSO accounts for different parts of your business, and apply automation rules that cut manual steps before packing starts. The result is cleaner fulfillment, better visibility, and less time spent on repetitive shipping tasks.

Why LSO users choose ShipStation

Match each order to service

LSO offers services like Ground, Early Overnight, Priority Overnight, Saturday, eCommerce, and Mexico shipping. ShipStation keeps those choices in one workflow, so your team can pick the right service without slowing down fulfillment.

Keep carrier accounts organized

ShipStation supports multiple LSO accounts, which is useful when you ship for different brands, teams, or locations. Each account stays easy to identify, so your team can choose the right one for each shipment.

Put your brand on labels

LSO supports label branding in ShipStation. That gives you cleaner, more professional shipping documents and helps keep your brand visible through fulfillment instead of treating every package like a generic outbound order.

Support specialty regional shipping

LSO is a strong fit for merchants shipping vape products within its service area. ShipStation helps you keep those shipments in your normal workflow, so your team doesn’t need a separate process for those orders.

FAQ

LSO delivery FAQ for setup, labels, rates, and tracking

Frequently asked questions about setup, labels, rates, and returns

Yes. ShipStation supports connecting your own active LSO account. During setup, you go to Account Settings, open Shipping and Carriers, choose the Your Carrier Accounts tab, click Add Carrier, and select LSO. If your plan requires the Your Carriers add-on, ShipStation prompts you during setup. If you do not have an LSO account yet, you can select the option to sign up for a new one while connecting.

You need a few specific details before setup starts:

  • A US-based ShipStation account
  • An active account with LSO
  • Your LSO Account Number
  • Your billing address

During setup, ShipStation asks for your Billing Street Number, Billing City, Billing State, Billing ZIP Code, and an Account Nickname. Having that ready makes the connection process smoother.

Yes. ShipStation supports estimated rates for LSO based on your connected account information and shipment details. That makes it easier to review service options before you buy a label and choose the best fit for the order. It is especially helpful when you need to weigh overnight, next-day, ground, or Mexico service options inside one workflow.

ShipStation supports a wide range of LSO services, so you can match the service level to the order instead of forcing every shipment into the same lane.

  • LSO 2nd Day
  • LSO Early Overnight
  • LSO Economy Next Day
  • LSO Ground
  • LSO Plus
  • LSO Priority Overnight
  • LSO Saturday
  • LSO eCommerce
  • LSO Mexico

ShipStation also supports LSO package types like Package, Letter, Tube, custom packages, and several LSO-branded package options.

Yes. Shipping labels created for LSO in ShipStation include a tracking number you can use to view shipment status on the carrier’s tracking website. That gives your team and your customers better visibility after the label is created. Tracking may not be available for every LSO shipping service, so confirm the service you plan to use.

Yes. ShipStation supports domestic return labels for LSO. That helps you keep outbound labels and return workflows closer together instead of managing returns in a separate system. If your business handles frequent exchanges or product returns, that added control can make post-purchase operations easier for your team.

Yes. ShipStation supports international shipping labels for LSO shipments bound for Mexico. That gives merchants using LSO a direct way to manage both domestic shipments and Mexico-bound orders in the same shipping workflow. Electronic customs submission is not supported for LSO, so you should plan your international process with that limitation in mind.
