FAQ ShipStation Canada Post FAQ for setup, rates, pickups, and returns ------------------------------------------------------------------ Frequently asked questions about setup, labels, rates, and returns ##### Do I still need to set up my own Canada Post account? Yes, if you want to connect your own Canada Post carrier account. ShipStation supports both Commercial and Solutions for Small Business accounts, so you don’t need a Commercial contract to get started. ##### Does Canada Post pick up, or do I drop packages off? Commercial accounts use a daily manifest workflow for outbound shipments. When you drop off those shipments, give the printed manifest to the Canada Post driver or counter staff. ##### Can I use ShipStation's Canada Post rates instead of my own contract? Yes. Canada Post from ShipStation supports shipments originating in Canada, so you can use Canada Post services through ShipStation instead of connecting your own account. To create labels that way, ShipStation Carriers must be activated and your account needs a positive balance. ##### Does ShipStation schedule Canada Post pickups automatically? No. ShipStation’s Canada Post setup guidance doesn’t include automatic pickup scheduling. It does support the manifest workflow Commercial accounts use when handing shipments to a driver or counter staff. ##### How do I check whether Canada Post appears for a DDP shipment? Enter the full international shipment details and browse rates in ShipStation. Rate visibility follows the services available for that shipment, and Canada Post international shipments also require a valid recipient phone number. ##### How do I add Canada Post as a carrier in my account? Follow these steps in ShipStation: - Go to Account Settings - Select Shipping, then Carriers - Open Your Carrier Accounts - Click Add Carrier and choose Canada Post - Select your account type and connect ##### Can I use Canada Post for returns? Yes. ShipStation supports Canada Post return labels for domestic services. If you’re using your own Canada Post account, return-label availability differs by account type, while Canada Post from ShipStation supports domestic return labels. ##### If Canada Post is on strike, how do I switch to another carrier quickly? Keep your orders in ShipStation and browse rates from your other connected carriers instead of moving work into a different tool. Because labels, automation, and order management stay in one place, your team can change carriers without rebuilding the whole workflow.
