can you send two satchels with same postage label

ky_allar — Mon, 04 Jul 2016 11:05:25 GMT

Can I send two satchels & just reprint the postage lable twice without being charged postage twice? I am splitting the order into two satchels but only want to use the postage label which Ive already charge out the postage cost? Hope this makes sense...

Ebay labels?

No you cannot send two parcels on one label.

Cancel the label.

Then print out one for a bigger satchel. eg cancel the 500 and print out a 3kg....

Short answer - No! Postage labels have individual coded numbers for tracking, and 2 x 1kg sachels will cost more to post than 1 x 2kg sachel. You could print the same label twice, but once the first parcel had been scanned, the second one would be rejected because the tracking number was already allocated.

I hope I've understood you properley, but it sounds to me like you need to investigate a different packaging solution in this case.

Cheers,

Marina.

The way I understood it was, the OP wants to send 2 parcels but only pay for 1 postage cost. In other words, ripping AP off.

I suspect they've underquoted postage and expect AP to pay for their mistake.

Dunno how. If it's the last buyer, they've bought 4 items of kids clothing, each with $8.25 postage, which I'm assuming an invoice was sent with reduced postage. They would easily fit in a 500g satchel for the $8.25. I'm now wondering if the OP is splitting them so they can be sent as 2 large letters, pocketing the excess postage, because most of the price they got for the items would have been chewed up in fees. If they do that, they can be assured of adding a contrasting Christmas colour to their feedback.

WOW some of you are very quick to think I am trying to scam AP & pocket extra cash for myself which is not the case... I had two left over 500gram satchels & thought I could use my 3kg label on both satchels but only charging the buyer the correct postage amount for a 3 kg satchel. You are talking like I am not going to see what you have written. Like the old saying goes "if you dont have anything nice to say" then dont go on a Discussion Board to bag people! HELP & ADVICE is what I was after

No that is not the case

No I am not trying to do that

The items actually do not all fit into a 500g satchel hence why i am trying to put the clothes into 2 x 500 gram satchels (because i have two left over) & charging the buyer 13.40 because the items weigh MORE than 500 grams

If you have charged them $13.40 for postage, put them in a 3kg satchel with one postage label. If you've already printed a label for 500g, cancel it and print a new one.

The way your opening post read, it wasn't hard to jump to conclusions. It was worded like you were trying to send one for free. If you don't want people jumping to the wrong conclusion, word your posts better.

If you donht have any 3kg satchels and can't get hold of one, Then you can tape them together and process the label as a regular post parcel using weight and dimensions. Though itt is likely a 3kg satcel will be cheaper unless its local.

Are the satchels the eBay ones?

just a thought, but check with the Post Office first.

package the items into the 2 satchels, print a 3kg label, securely tape the parcels together so that only one label pocket is visible, and put the postage label in the pocket.

if you've already printed one eBay postage label, cancel it and re do the postage.

If it is the ebay satchels then apparently you can send in your own packaging and just stick the ebay label on so wrap up in a single parcel and put the ebay label on it.

If the OP only has 500g sized satchels, and the garments will fit in it, could they turn it inside out and then stick the 3kg label on?
