Return labels with Canada shipping addresses in Shippo cannot be created with USPS but can be created with FedEx and UPS.

When I contacted Shippo customer support:

Q) We got the issue that we cannot create return label with Shippo dashboard page for Canada.

A) With USPS you can’t have a Canada originating shipment, which this return shipment would be. If you have a FedEx or UPS account you could create a CA origin label and send that to the customer to use.

I received this response.

When shipping from the US to outside the US, considering only return labels, it seems better to use FedEx or UPS. In reality, you also need to consider shipping costs and expected arrival times.

That’s all from the Gemba, where we use Shippo for cross-border e-commerce sites.
