PitneyShip Release Notes version 1.124.0 (April 22, 2026)
Products affected: PitneyShip®
What's New
There were no new features in this release.
Latest Updates
Default Carrier Account selection for shipments
Admins can set a default carrier account for rating and label printing when multiple accounts are available for DHL, UPS, and FedEx. USPS is excluded from this configuration because it supports only a single carrier account, which is automatically treated as the default.
The feature can be enabled by Settings > Users, selecting a user, and editing their profile. From there, Admins can choose a default carrier account for each supported carrier using the drop-down menu. If no default account was selected when an account was added, the system will automatically assign the last-used carrier account as the default for rating and label printing.
Once set, the default carrier account is automatically selected during the shipping and rating process for all roles. Even when a default carrier is selected, users will continue to see the full list of available carriers on the Create Shipping Label page, allowing flexibility to choose a different carrier when needed.
Removal of FedEx insurance claim functionality
Following recent updates from FedEx, changes have been made to the shipment claims process, and these updates have been reflected in our product UI. The Claim Insurance button has been removed from the Shipment History page for each shipment record. This option will remain unavailable in the product until further guidance or updates are received from FedEx.
This change applies to FedEx PB Rate account shipments only and affects both domestic and international shipments.
Stamps dashboard enhancements
Several usability improvements have been made to the Stamps dashboard based on feedback. The card titles on the Stamps landing page have been simplified to Sheet, Roll, and Envelope.
Brief help text has been added below each option to guide users. Sheet notes that stamp sheets are required, Roll displays setup guidance based on whether the user is a Cube or non-Cube user, and Envelope explains that stamps can be printed directly onto an envelope.
A new Pitney Bowes Supplies Shop link has also been added with the text, “Purchase stamp sheets, printers, rolls and envelopes from the Pitney Bowes Supplies Shop.” The link is only visible to users whose subscriptions include the Manage Supplies feature.
Commercial Invoice support for DHL Express international documents
We have added support for generating and printing Commercial Invoices for DHL Express international document-only shipments. When users create an international DHL Express shipment with the Document Only option selected, the system now automatically generates a Commercial Invoice. Item details are filled with default values that can be edited as needed.
The option to print the Commercial Invoice appears in the Select Print Items section of the Print modal and is enabled by default in a disabled state, ensuring the invoice is always printed with the shipping label. Reprinting a label will also regenerate and print the Commercial Invoice.
A Commercial Invoice is generated only when all of the following conditions are met: the shipment is international, the Document Only checkbox is selected, and the shipment weight is greater than 5 kg.
Improved Address Verification for abbreviated entries
A small enhancement has been made to the Address Verify API to improve address validation and processing. Previously, addresses entered with common abbreviations, such as “Rd.” for Road or “Apt.” for Apartment, were accepted by users but not properly handled by the API. The API now recognizes and processes these abbreviations correctly.
Future‑dated USPS SCAN form generation
Users can now generate and print USPS SCAN Forms for future shipment dates directly from the SCAN Form screen. Users can select a future ship date using a calendar picker, and the system will generate a compliant SCAN Form for that specific date. This enhancement ensures shipments scheduled in advance can be processed smoothly without delays on the ship date.
