  • Over 53% of eCommerce shoppers won’t make a purchase if they don’t know when their item will be delivered
  • The USPS SCAN Form 5630 is a single label with one master barcode that allows postal workers to scan and track all packages in a singular shipment
  • SCAN Forms are meant to meet customer expectations better when it comes to tracking and visibility

Over 53% of eCommerce shoppers won’t make a purchase if they don’t know when their item will be delivered. Luckily, USPS SCAN Forms can be an excellent time-saver for merchants, postal workers, and customers.

USPS SCAN Forms stand for “Shipment Confirmation Acceptance Notice.” The SCAN Form provides a single barcode that USPS can scan to process bulk shipments. So instead of postal workers scanning multiple shipments, one barcode applies for all.

In this blog post, we’ll go over everything you need to know about using SCAN Forms in your shipping routine.

What is a SCAN Form USPS?

The USPS SCAN Form 5630 is a single label with one master barcode that allows postal workers to scan and track all packages in a singular shipment. Instead of scanning every package in a bulk shipment, a postal worker can scan the master barcode on the SCAN Form, saving valuable time.

When the master barcode is scanned, the package information is automatically added to the USPS tracking system. Shippers and recipients can then track and check the status of their package using the provided USPS tracking number.

SCAN Forms are meant to meet customer expectations better regarding tracking and visibility. In addition, many eCommerce businesses send packages in batch shipments, which makes using SCAN Forms helpful. Plus, it’s free of charge to create a USPS SCAN Form.
