How to remove a label in the Personal Cabinet

In your Personal Account, there is now the option to independently cancel labels from the Sent Parcels section.

  1. Go to the “Sent Parcels” section in the menu.
  2. Choose the required label and click the “Request cancellation” button.

Please note the possible expiration period of the labels!

  • The FedEx and Nova Global waybills are valid for 10 days from the time of creation.
  • The Nova Global waybills are valid for 10 days from the time of creation.
  • Waybills created by other shipping methods are valid for 20 days from the time of creation.

If you have not shipped the parcel within this period, you need to cancel it and create a new shipment. Otherwise, the parcel will not be accepted by the postal services.

Cancellation of the waybill in My Account is possible within 28 days from creation if not used, i.e., if the waybill is 24 days old – it is no longer valid, but it can still be canceled manually.

The FedEx waybill(s) are valid for 10 days from creation. The possible window to cancel a FedEx parcel is 10 days from parcel creation. If during this time the parcel is not accepted at our sorting center in Kyiv and tracking has not started, the label will be automatically canceled. In this case, the funds used for its use will be returned to your account.

‍When canceling Direct consolidation, you can cancel only the entire consolidation; you cannot cancel individual parcels from it.

‍Please note! USPS waybills cannot be canceled if they were created more than 28 days ago.

‍If you created a return label, it can also be canceled within 28 days from creation. For this you need to:

  • on the left in the menu, go to the item “My labels from Miami”;
  • expand the filter and at the top left select the item “show return labels”;
  • click the red button “Request cancellation”, next to the label you want to cancel.

Frequently Asked Questions about Removing Labels

When do you need to cancel the label?

The label should be canceled if you did not ship the package within the validity period of the waybill, you found an error in the address, dimensions, or delivery method, the customer canceled the order or changed the address, and also when you accidentally created a duplicate label.

If you try to send a shipment with a waybill whose validity period has expired, postal services may refuse to accept the shipment, or such a parcel may not be properly processed in the tracking system. Therefore, if the validity period of the waybill has expired, it is better to cancel it and create a new shipment.

For most services, when a label is successfully canceled, funds are returned to your account in the Western Bid system. For example, for FedEx, when an unused label is automatically canceled after the expiration of its validity, the payment for it is returned to your account.

If the ‘Request cancellation’ button for a specific label is missing, it usually means that the cancellation window has already passed or the label has been used. Check the issue date of the waybill and the type of delivery service. If necessary, contact support, providing the waybill number.

In the left menu, go to the ‘My labels from Miami’ section, at the top enable the ‘display return labels’ option, find the required return label and click the red ‘Request cancellation’ button. This can be done within 28 days from the creation of the label.
