Learn how to reship an order in the Client Portal, including how to select items, manage inventory, and create replacement shipments for lost, damaged, or incorrect orders.

Written by ShipTop

Reshipping an order allows you to send additional items to a customer when an issue occurs, such as lost, damaged, or incorrect shipments.

Reshipments are processed from the original order, ensuring accurate tracking of inventory and order history.


When to Reship an Order

Common use cases include:

  • Carrier lost or damaged the shipment

  • Replacement shipment is required

  • Customer received incorrect or missing items


How Reshipping Works

  • A new shipment is created from the original order

  • Inventory is deducted again unless explicitly added back

  • Order history will log:

    • Who initiated the reship

    • Items and quantities reshipped


How to Reship a Single Order

Step 1: Navigate to Orders

  1. Log in to your Client Portal

  2. Go to Orders β†’ Manage Orders


Step 2: Open the Order

  1. Search for the order

  2. Click the Order Number to open the Order Details page


Step 3: Select Re-Ship

  1. In the Actions section, click Re-Ship

  2. A reshipment window will open


Step 4: Select Items to Reship

  1. Select the item(s) to be reshipped

  2. Adjust the reship quantity as needed

  3. Add an Operator Hold if changes are required before fulfillment


Step 5: Configure Inventory (If Applicable)

  • If the original shipment has already left the warehouse, do not add inventory back

  • If items have not yet left the warehouse, you may choose to add inventory back to stock

This ensures inventory is not deducted twice during reshipment


Step 6: Confirm Reshipment

Click Re-Ship to complete the process.

The order will be updated and a new shipment will be created.


How to Reship Multiple Orders (Bulk)

Step 1: Navigate to Orders

  1. Go to Orders β†’ Manage Orders

  2. Select the orders you want to reship


Step 2: Bulk Edit

  1. Click Bulk Edit

  2. Select Reship Orders

  3. Choose whether to add inventory back to stock (if applicable)

  4. Click Update to process

Important Notes

  • Reshipping will create a new shipment within an existing order

  • Reshipping will not modify the original shipment

  • Inventory handling must be carefully reviewed to avoid discrepancies

  • If changes are required (address, items, etc.), apply an Operator Hold before reshipping

  • For complex cases, consider creating a new manual order instead
