# Using Custom Shipping

## How to use 'Custom Shipping' (outside of District):

1. **Getting Started:** go to the District website (not the app) > [Seller Dashboard](https://district.net/dashboard) > tap 'Fulfillment' tab
2. **Viewing a Shipment:** If you tap on a shipment or tap 'view', you'll see a modal with the shipment information. If the customer purchased multiple items, each order may be in that bundle. 
3. **Creating a Label:** create a label through a third party or alternative method. Please save the tracking information, it will be needed for the next step. 
4. **Uploading 'Custom Shipping' to District:** view the shipment > tap the 'Custom Shipping' button > select your carrier from the dropdown menu > enter in your custom tracking -> tap 'Add Tracking Number'

*Custom Shipping Tip*: it's important to upload your outside tracking number into District via custom shipping because it allows us to send your buyer an email with the tracking info & triggers us to release your funds 48 hours after delivery.
