PitneyShip Enterprise Release Notes version 1.130.0 (August 27, 2026)
Products affected: PitneyShip® Enterprise
What's New
Consignee Type for EU-Bound International Shipments
This enhancement adds a new Consignee Type option for eligible international shipments destined for European Union (EU) countries, helping customers meet EU customs compliance requirements. The feature is available for applicable UPS, Royal Mail Group (RMG), and Parcelforce shipments.
When creating an eligible shipment, users can identify the recipient as either Business (B2B) or Consumer (B2C). The Consignee Type field is optional, has no default selection, and does not prevent users from completing shipment processing if left blank.
The selected Consignee Type is saved with the shipment and displayed in Shipment History. This feature is also supported across multiple workflows, including Export, Ship Another, Presets, Ship Orders, and multi-piece shipments.
Enhanced Importer of Record and International Shipping Compliance support
This enhancement improves compliance for UPS and FedEx international shipments originating from the United States by introducing Importer of Record (IOR) support, dynamic Tax ID and Tax Type validation, and enhanced Duties & Taxes (D&T) billing functionality.
Users can now select an Importer of Record during shipment creation, with the recipient automatically set as the default IOR while still allowing an alternate importer to be selected. The chosen IOR is included in carrier requests for both UPS and FedEx shipments.
Tax ID and Tax Type requirements are now validated dynamically based on the importer’s address type. For business addresses, both Tax ID and Tax Type are required before shipment processing can continue. For residential addresses, these fields remain optional.
The enhancement also improves Duties & Taxes billing for eligible U.S.-to-Canada shipments, automatically defaulting D&T charges to the recipient when a single-payer account is used. These compliance updates apply to all U.S. international shipments and are supported across Ship Another, Presets, Ship Orders, and multi-piece shipment workflows.
Enhanced Notification Log visibility and usability
This enhancement improves the Notification Log by providing greater visibility into notification activity and making it easier to review and manage notification records. Previously, users had limited insight into notification types, delivery status, and could not easily sort records for analysis.
With this update, new Notification Type and Status columns have been added to the Notification Log. Both columns support sorting, allowing users to quickly identify notifications and review their delivery status. Additional usability improvements include standardized and more consistent dropdown behavior, fixed-width search controls, improved spacing and alignment, and clearer filtering experiences.
To further enhance usability, users who filter for Undelivered Notifications and have no matching records will now see a clear informational message. At this time, notification status tracking is available for email notifications only. Support for SMS notification tracking will be added in a future release.
Enhanced Bulk Contact deletion and management
This enhancement improves Bulk Contact Deletion by enabling large volumes of contacts to be deleted more efficiently and reliably. Previously, bulk deletion requests involving thousands of contacts could fail due to processing limitations. With this update, large-scale deletion requests are processed asynchronously, improving performance, scalability, and reliability.
The contact management experience has also been streamlined with new deletion options, including Delete All Shared Contacts, Delete All Private Contacts, and Delete Selected Contacts. Users can specify whether deletion applies to recipients or recipients and senders, while maintaining existing protections for sender records where applicable.
Additional controls have been introduced for shared contacts, allowing administrators to restrict contact visibility to specific user roles. To help prevent accidental data loss, verified sender contacts are now protected from bulk deletion and can only be removed individually. Existing sender deletion behavior remains unchanged, ensuring consistency for current workflows and plan-specific requirements.
Latest Updates
Improved Mobile experience for Create Shipping Label Summary and Print Options
This enhancement improves the responsiveness of the Create Shipping Label Summary and Print Options modules within the web flow, providing a better experience on mobile phones, tablets, and other small-screen devices. Previously, these modules were not fully optimized for smaller screens, which could lead to display issues and reduced usability.
With this update, both modules automatically adjust to fit different screen sizes. In the Create Shipping Label Summary module, users can now expand or collapse summary details using the Show Summary and Hide Summary options, making information easier to view on smaller screens. In the Print Options module, all print option checkboxes, including Shipping Label, Receipt with Shipping Label, Summary Receipt, Certificate of Origin, and other carrier-specific options, are now fully responsive, improving accessibility and ease of use across devices.
Improved USPS Returned-to-Sender Tracking verbiage
This enhancement improves shipment tracking accuracy by updating how certain USPS tracking events are displayed. Previously, the USPS event Delivered To Original Sender appeared as a standard Delivered status, which could be misleading because it indicates that the shipment was returned to the sender rather than delivered to the intended recipient.
With this update, shipments with the USPS tracking event Delivered To Original Sender will now be displayed as Returned to Sender throughout shipment tracking interfaces and Shipment History, providing users with clearer and more accurate shipment status information.
Enhanced Freight Carrier management in Carrier preferences
This enhancement expands Carrier Preferences to include freight carrier accounts, such as Purolator Freight and FedEx Freight, giving administrators greater visibility and control over carrier configurations from a centralized location.
Freight carrier accounts now appear alongside parcel carrier accounts within Carrier preferences. Enterprise Administrators can activate or deactivate freight carriers directly from the Carrier configuration screen without removing existing account configurations. Inactive carriers remain visible for reference but cannot be used for shipment activities such as rate shopping or label generation. Reactivating a carrier restores it for shipment processing, and carrier account statuses remain unchanged when a carrier is activated or deactivated.
The enhancement also simplifies administration by organizing freight accounts under their respective carrier cards, allowing individual account preferences to be edited and included in exports when applicable filters are selected. Existing Enterprise, Division, and Location permission controls continue to govern carrier account management.
This only applies to the warehouse fulfillment version of PitneyShip Enterprise.
HP Driver PDF Label Printing support
This enhancement adds support for HP Driver PDF label printing, enabling users to generate, retrieve, and reprint PDF shipping labels within the existing shipping workflow.
PDF labels can now be created during shipment processing and reprinted from Shipment History for single-piece shipments, providing greater flexibility and convenience when managing shipping labels.
Enhanced Address Book Search experience
This enhancement improves the Address Book search experience by making it faster and easier for users to find contacts during shipping workflows. Search results are now automatically ranked by relevance, eliminating the need to manually select Begins With, Contains, or Ends With search filters.
The updated search logic prioritizes contacts that begin with the search term, followed by contacts that contain the term, and then those that end with it. When a contact matches multiple criteria, the most relevant result is displayed first. These improvements provide a more intuitive search experience while continuing to return a complete set of matching contacts.
