Choosing how to ship your samples

The difference between using your own courier and the NYIOOC Shipping Service.

Updated

The first step in Sample Shipping asks how you'll ship your samples.

My own courier

You choose and pay the carrier yourself. My NYIOOC prepares your sample invoice and barcodes.

  • There's no shipping label and no tracking in My NYIOOC for this option. Your courier gives you its own tracking.

  • You can use any courier that delivers to the receiving address in your shipping document.

NYIOOC Shipping Service

When the NYIOOC Shipping Service is offered, you can get a rate for your box before deciding. With this service you receive a UPS shipping label and can follow tracking in My NYIOOC.

  • You'll see the rate before you confirm. Choosing the service isn't a purchase.

  • If the rate doesn't suit you, switch to your own courier without losing what you've entered.
