Zonos declaration expiration?
Summary: A participant inquired about the expiration of Zonos declarations, but no specific information was provided in the responses from raanana and dinomitesales. The discussion lacks details and specific outcomes.
Hi, for those of you who used Zonos, when submitting the declaration and getting the declaration code, it does say the code needs to be use within 5 days or else a new declaration will need to be submitted. My question is...
Can I submit the Zonos declaration code to my Snap Ship shipment let's say today, print the shipping label, but mail the package two weeks later? The reason is, I have a buyer interested in buying something, they will pay next week, but they don't want me to mail until December as they will be away till then. On the other hand, I will be going away early December, but I can leave the package to a friend who can take it to the post office for me after the buyer returns. So can I prep the package ahead of time, hand it over to a friend to mail for me two weeks later?
Also a question for dino if you happen to see it... when buyers drop off a package to US and when it is scanned at the counter, does it say on your screen that Zonos declaration is complete / expired or anything like that?
Thanks in advance!

·8 months agoAs long as the Zonos code is used in the 5 days to create the label, it doesn't matter when the package is actually dropped off at Canada Post. Once the label is created/printed it's no different than any other label.
Literally nothing has changed for package drop-offs at the post office. We get no warning or message regarding Zonos for pre-paid dropoffs. Canada Post's assumption is that if you were able to print the label, then the necessary steps were taken to do so and it's good to go.

·8 months agoI'm using Zonos Prepay app,as you mentioned declaration is good for 5 days.I would assume,that if you are planning to shipp in two weeks,then it will be voided and new declaration should be issued.Its not a problem if you gave Zero in tariffs,but if you have to pay,than you will loose your money.With Zonos prepay you can issue a declaration anywhere where you have internet.
When shipping ,it show status as Shipped right away as QR code is scanned and no additional information thereafter.
I have a very positive experience with contacting Zonos with any questions,they reply prompt and very helpful.
