Carrier Maskings

This feature enables you to update or completely hide carrier details such as logos, names, websites, or phone numbers.

FAQ

Q: How does carrier masking work with first-mile and last-mile carriers?

  • Carrier rules apply to the currently active carrier. If you mask YunExpress but the shipment is also handled by USPS as the last-mile carrier, the details of YunExpress will be hidden until the active carrier becomes USPS.

For more information on how Rush handles multiple carriers, refer to our article on Last Mile Carrier.
