Terms

By using BuyALabel you agree to the terms listed here.

General

You agree to let BuyALabel use the provided data to process your request in order to provide the requested service. This includes sharing the provided data with companies and services we use to provide that requested service. Your personal data is only used to provide the requested service. Your personal data is not stored by BuyALabel.

Labels are generated in PDF format on a 8.5x11 size document for printing or downloading.

Your label purchase history is stored on the device that was used to purchase the label. To view your history or request a refund you must use the same device used to purchase the label originally.

If you provide incorrect information (package weight, dimensions, ship-from address), the shipping carrier may return your package or charge an extra fee when receiving your package. BuyALabel may charge your payment method to cover this fee, plus an amount necessary to cover any additional processing fees we incur as a result.

Refunds

BuyALabel allows you 1 hour to request a refund on your shipping label. Because BuyALabel does not have user accounts, you must request a refund from the same device you purchased the label from. BuyALabel will forward your refund request to the carrier. If the carrier approves the refund, BuyALabel will refund your charge minus a 30 cent processing fee. Your refund may take up to 30 days to process and funds to be returned (sorry, blame the carrier).
