How do I ship two separate Etsy orders in one package with one label?

Anonymous • tomorrow • 1 answer

I’m a newer Etsy seller, and a buyer placed two separate orders that can be shipped together. I offer free shipping, and the buyer is okay with everything going in one package.

What’s the best way to handle this in Etsy—can I purchase one shipping label and apply it to both orders, and how should I mark both orders as shipped so the tracking is recorded correctly?

Hi! Yes—you can ship two separate Etsy orders in one package and use one shipping label, but you’ll want to make sure both orders are marked as shipped with the same tracking number so Etsy records tracking correctly on each order.

Here’s the cleanest way to do it (using Etsy Shipping Labels):

  1. Confirm both orders have the exact same shipping address (same name/address). If they differ at all, don’t combine.
  2. In Shop Manager → Orders, pick one of the two orders and click the shipping label / van icon to buy an Etsy label.
  3. When you buy the label, enter the combined package weight and dimensions (since both orders are in the same box). Purchase the label as normal.
  4. That first order will be marked complete/shipped automatically (based on the ship date you chose).
  5. Copy the tracking number from that completed order/label.
  6. Go to the other order (still in “New”) and click Complete order, then:
    • choose the same (or appropriate) ship date
    • select the carrier
    • paste in the same tracking number
    • complete the order

That’s it—both orders will show as shipped, and the buyer will see tracking on both receipts, even though there’s only one physical package.

A couple quick tips:

  • Send the buyer a short Etsy message like: “I combined both orders into one package; both orders show the same tracking number.” This prevents confusion when they receive one box.
  • If you use Star Seller / Purchase Protection considerations, adding valid tracking to each order (even if it’s the same tracking) is the important part.

If you tell me whether you’re buying labels on Etsy or through a service like Pirate Ship, I can tailor the exact clicks to your setup.
