Just so you’re aware you can change the size of the label when in the print settings. I know it doesn’t answer your question, but figured I would pass that along. Answer from HWCSoCalHTX on reddit.com

r/UPS on Reddit: Can UPS Print a Sticky Label from a tracking number alone?
February 6, 2023 -

I have a package I'm returning where the seller sent me a label in PDF format... but I don't have a printer.

Also from prior experience with this seller... the PDF version of the labels sent result in the label being nearly the full size of a sheet of paper when printed... and the package I'm returning is smallish so I know the label will not fit well on the package if printed via home printer.

If I go to the local UPS Customer Center, could they print a sticky label for the package instead if I give them the tracking number listed on the PDF version?

r/UPS on Reddit: Printing a return label using a tracking number?
July 20, 2022 -

As the title says, I have a tracking number from a prepaid Amazon return, but Amazon's site will not allow me to print an actual return label. It's a confusing frustrating saga, but long story short, for some asinine reason, Amazon will only allow me to choose the "schedule a UPS driver to pick up your package" option (as opposed to the "drop off your package at UPS" option, which would give me an actual label to print). I live in a major downtown urban area in a large high-rise that gets multiple UPS driver visits every day; it just isn't safe for me to leave an unlabeled return shipment with the front desk that doesn't have an outgoing UPS label on it.

After speaking with Amazon customer service, their system simply will not allow the printing of a label. Tiny nuclear bombs are dropping in my head. Regardless, the online rep was able to give me the return label tracking number. Can I generate a return label from this tracking number somehow? If so, how? I can't find the answer after much searching. Thank you!!!

I don't know if I'm stupid or missing something but we always have customers coming in telling us we can reprint the label with just the tracking number. They also say "other stores do it"... Am I being lied to or can I reprint the label with just a tracking number. (FYI not labels we make here through our cms I know we can print those)

r/UPS on Reddit: Why can't UPS stores scan and print an electronic return label?
May 25, 2022 -

My local UPS store can only scan a QR code and return the label that came with it.

If I just pull up an electronic label, they said they can't scan it and they have to charge me $5 to use their computer to print the label.

Why can UPS only scan it with a QR code but not with the electronic label?

r/UPS on Reddit: If a shipper generates a return label, can they see the tracking number of that label?
June 27, 2023 -

I had a situation where I placed an order on a web site, realized a discount code hadn't applied, and had to contact customer service to cancel the order. I placed a duplicate order with the discount properly applied. A few days later, I received both orders, even though I was told the first order had been canceled and would not ship. The seller contacted me, and asked if I'd return the duplicate shipment. I agreed, and they sent me a prepaid shipping label. The next day, I dropped the package off at a UPS store.

Fast forward to a few weeks later, and the seller calls me saying that they haven't received the package, and that they've locked my account to prevent any warranty claims or future orders - unless I can provide a tracking number for the shipment.

It seems to me that he should have been able to see the tracking number for the label that was provided without my help. Are shippers really not able to see tracking numbers for return labels, or is this guy just a douche?

I created a UPS shipping label today via Pirate Ship and the tracking information is showing that the shipment was “cancelled” back in November… I have never created a UPS shipping label before (only USPS) so I’m confused as to why it would show this. Is it simply an old tracking number that was reused for my package? Should I be worried?

Hello, I am returning a product from amazon and I am told to go to a UPS store to drop it off. I am told to print out the shipping label and barcode but I do not have a printer to print it out. Will UPS print that out for me for free like Kohls does or do I have to pay for it? and if I have to pay, how much will it be?

r/upsstore on Reddit: Is it free to print prepaid return label with a bar code emailed to me in all stores?
January 23, 2026 -

It's not an Amazon return. I got a pdf file from the site I'm returning to but I also just realized UPS emailed me a barcode, not a QR code. It says "Your returns label is available to print or scan" then under it has the tracking number. Then in small print under it says "Print your label at home, or bring this barcode to a UPS location we'll print it for you." Then under that is a yellow button link "Get your shipping label" then under that is another small link "Find a location to scan your barcode." Then under that is the barcode.

I googled and it says it's free for QR or barcode. Is this true for all the UPS stores? And I want to know why it's free for that but without it, it's supposedly not free? Is there a reason?

Thank you.
