Probably for shipments shipped from an Amazon warehouse (sold by Amazon, or Fulfilled-by-Amazon/FBA).
For our own labels, we print our company phone number, and that's fairly common for many ecommerce companies (although certainly not all).
It protects the customer's privacy, and in the event there's an issue with delivery, it's best the carrier contact the shipper (us) anyway.
- sokoloff 10y agoWhether your phone number appears on the shipping label is variable. Based on the 5 fulfilled-by-Amazon (sometimes sold-by-Amazon) packages in my hand, it appears on all the Amazon-as-trucker packages and neither of the USPS packages. I suspect the rules are even more complex than simply "what carrier", but it clearly varies.
- losteverything 10y agoLook again closely at your Usps labels. May seem like random numbers but it's there
- Alupis 10y agoIf it's not on the label, it's in the system. Some folks generate their own custom labels, and may omit things like that. The data is still sent to the carrier during the "End of Day" task (or equivalent) in whatever shipping software the shipper uses.
- losteverything 10y agoAlright. I can only speak from what I see. Thanks.
- sokoloff 10y agoIt's really not there. (My phone number is in the 617 area code.) http://static-s3.sokoloff.com/random/amazon/IMG_1880.jpg http://static-s3.sokoloff.com/random/amazon/IMG_1880.jpg On other labels it's after the "DF3..." ID.
- Alupis 10y agoThat's a custom label (ie. not stock from USPS), and is likely generated by the shipper's shipping software. Apparently they chose to leave that field off the label, but it's still sent to USPS by the software.
