Type

Select the type of Returns service from the drop-down list.

• Print Return Label: This option prints a return label for you to include in the original shipment or provide to your recipient. If you need to print a return label for your own records, enable the check box “Print thermal label for Call Tags” in UPS Setup. Return labels are printed for each package in a shipment.
• 3 UPS Pickup Attempts (Returns Plus): UPS will attempt to collect your shipment for three consecutive business days. After the third attempt, the return label will be returned to UPS.
• 1 UPS Pickup Attempt (Returns Plus): Allows a shipper to request one collection attempt for a UPS Returns^® shipment. If the package cannot be collected on the first attempt, UPS will leave a shipping label at the collection location.
• Electronic Return Label: Email a return label to your customer that can be printed with a receipt and information on how to arrange for collection.

Recipient Pickup

When this check box is checked, the recipient address is used for pickup. Do not check this option if you want to provide a different pickup address.

Pickup Address

To provide a pickup address different from the recipient address, click the Pickup Address button. This allows you to enter the pickup address information in a separate dialog.

Failed Email (optional)

This setting is only available for the Electronic Return Label. Enter an email address where email can be sent when any email notifications fail to be delivered.
