Should You Require Signature Confirmation for Etsy Orders?
Learn when to require signature confirmation for Etsy orders to prevent package theft, protect high-value shipments, keep tracking valid, and boost buyer trust.
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):
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:
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.
