How to Send Multiple PSA Submissions in One Package

Create the required separate orders first

PSA’s FAQ says different service levels, holder sizes and submission types need separate forms and charges. The shared-box option does not remove that separation. Start by checking that every planned order is eligible for the same destination and compatible shipment instructions. Special returns or other item categories may have their own routing.

Give each completed order a place in your private manifest before packing. Record the order ID, card count, first and last listed item and required holder format. Work from the final confirmation, not an earlier draft that still contains cards you removed. A correct-looking stack can still be wrong if its form belongs to another version of the order.

Use a bundle-to-order manifest

The following fictional example contains three orders and 15 total cards. Bundle letters are your own temporary planning labels, not substitutes for PSA’s forms or barcodes. The count is a reconciliation tool: five plus eight plus two must equal the 15 cards you actually plan to send.

Photograph or save the final manifest privately, then compare each bundle against its own order sequence. Avoid adding stickers or handwritten notes to individual cards or holders contrary to the provider’s packing instructions. The purpose is to keep identities clear without creating a handling obstacle.

Connect the package ID with the right bundles

For separately created Classic submissions, the FAQ directs customers to generate a Multi-Submission ID packing label in the dashboard. Assisted Submission instead generates one shared package barcode for its resulting service-level orders. Follow the workflow attached to your actual confirmations; do not generate another identifier simply because an older tutorial uses a different label name.

Keep a package barcode distinct from a carrier shipping label. PSA’s Shipping Tool FAQ says a prepaid shipping label is only for its designated submission and cannot be used to combine multiple submissions. Do not reuse one order’s prepaid label for unrelated orders. If the provided label and your planned grouping are unclear, confirm compatibility before shipping. Preserve the carrier tracking and package identifier together.

Do a final count before sealing

Lay out only one order at a time in a clean work area. Compare its cards with the final form, retain the listed sequence and finish its protective bundle before starting another. Then count the completed bundles and forms against the manifest. This reduces the chance that two visually similar cards change places between orders.

Use the current shipping guide for sleeves, holders, cushioning and outer-box preparation. It is more reliable than a saved packing PDF from years ago. Confirm the service-specific destination and carrier requirements from the current instructions. Keep inbound coverage and proof of value as separate records; a grading service selection is not by itself proof of what a carrier will pay for a lost parcel.

Reconcile delivery with each order’s intake

After carrier delivery, maintain a status row for each order rather than marking every order fully entered at once. The same parcel can produce different account updates as its contents are reconciled. A delivery scan alone does not explain every subsequent order status. Record what the account actually shows and the date of the observation.

If one order appears missing, prepare one concise support request with the carrier tracking, combined ID, all affected order numbers and your manifest counts. If you forgot the combined label, say so plainly and provide the evidence you retained. Do not create duplicate replacement submissions or send another copy of the cards’ paperwork without instructions. A clear account of the original package is the useful next step.
