If you cannot print the barcodes/documents for shipments via Western Bid yourself, you can use the service of printing labels at the Western Bid warehouse: simply write on the parcel your customer number, the tracking number, the recipient’s first name and last name, and Western Bid will print and affix all the necessary labels at the warehouse.
About the label printing service
Western Bid provides customers with a document printing service for shipments (up to 3 shipments per day). If you do not have a printer and cannot print the documents, you can manually indicate on the parcel:
- Your Western Bid client number,
- internal shipment number (for consolidated shipments) or tracking number (for express shipments),
- recipient’s surname,
- recipient’s postal code.
Employees of the consolidation center will print the labels, however in this case the processing time for your parcel may increase by 1-2 business days. We also note that this free service is provided to sellers who ship no more than 3 shipments per day. If the number of your shipments per day exceeds 3, we recommend printing the labels and documents yourself.
The presence of all listed information will prevent the likelihood of errors. This is necessary for additional verification of documents when affixing the label. If the data is not provided, or not all of it is provided, unfortunately, we will have to refuse to affix the label.
Please note that parcels without labels that require printing are processed after the shipments to which they belong.
Who can benefit from the barcode printing service
- Sellers who are unable to print shipping labels (no printer, no access to PDF files, etc.).
- Customers who ship only a few parcels per day and want to hand over the packaging without pre-printed barcodes.
- Users who use Western Bid consolidations (Plus/Direct) and other services where a barcode needs to be affixed, but for some reason cannot do it themselves.
What is the “to a different barcode” service
- Western Bid/WestParcel offers a service to print documents and barcodes for clients’ shipments (limited to a certain number of parcels per day).
- If you cannot print the label from My Account, it is enough to write the tracking number, the first name, and the last name of the recipient on the parcel; at the warehouse, the required barcodes will be printed and affixed.
- This is especially convenient for shipments in Plus/Direct consolidation, where a label with a barcode is usually required before dispatch to the warehouse.
