How GlobalPost SmartSaver Works
How to Print GlobalPost SmartSaver and Container Labels
GlobalPost SmartSaver consists of inner labels and outer labels. Inner labels are the labels that you put on the parcels being sent to your customers. You will configure and fulfill these packages as you would any other with one exception. You then consolidate them into a larger container. This provides international shippers with a streamlined, affordable delivery option.
When you print all the SmartSaver labels for the day, place all your orders from a given Ship From location into a single, larger container. Next, you ship the container to the nearest GlobalPost facility. Here, your parcels are sorted and sent on to the next step in the delivery process.
Creating an outer label or “container label” for your SmartSaver shipments is simple. ShipStation treats container shipments like an end-of-day manifest. Select the shipments going into your container and click Create Container Label. Container labels are free of charge!
GlobalPost works with USPS to send SmartSaver parcels to the nearest GlobalPost facility. As a result, the container label will be a USPS label. So, you have to follow the weight and dimensional guidelines for USPS. For more information on sending SmartSaver shipments to GlobalPost, read our help center article!
