Void labels |
You can void Chronopost labels in ShipStation. However, Chronopost can take up to one hour to update and allow a label to be voided once created. If you attempt to void before this, you may receive an error. To resolve the error, wait one hour and attempt to void the label again. Labels voided in ShipStation cannot be used to dispatch a parcel. Voided labels cannot be reactivated. Labels not used within 2 months of creation are no longer valid. |
