Select preferred carriers
You can select preferred carriers and services that display by default when you buy shipping labels. For example, if you ship with USPS and UPS, then you can set those as preferred carriers so they display first instead of scrolling through all available carriers. Unselected services don't display in the default view, but you can still access them by clicking Add more when purchasing labels.
Steps:
From your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Shipping and delivery.
In the Shipping section, click Shipping labels, and then click Manage preferred carriers.
Select the carriers and services that you want to display by default.
Click Save.
Manage preferred services for selected carriers
After you select preferred carriers, you can choose which specific services from each carrier display by default. For example, if USPS is a preferred carrier, then you can choose to display only Priority Mail and Ground Advantage services and hide other options.
Steps:
From your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Shipping and delivery.
In the Shipping section, click Shipping labels, and then click the carrier that you want to manage services for.
Deselect the services that you don't want to display by default.
Click Save.
Remove preferred carriers
You can remove carriers from your preferred list if you no longer want them to display by default.
Steps:
From your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Shipping and delivery.
In the Shipping section, click Shipping labels, and then click Manage preferred carriers.
Deselect the carrier that you want to remove from your preferred carrier list.
