Managing shipping entirely from your home or business

By combining Shopify Shipping with existing shipping carrier features, you can manage your shipping entirely from your home or business without visiting a post office.

You can order shipping boxes and materials online, print your shipping labels at home, and then request the shipping carrier to come pick up your packages.
