# List Shipments

Obtains a list of shipments that match the specified criteria.

> **IMPORTANT**
Only **valid shipments with labels generated in ShipStation** will be returned in the response.
Orders that have been marked as *Shipped* either through the UI or the API will **not** appear as they are considered external shipments.
To include each shipment's associated `shipmentItems` in the response, be sure to set the `includeShipmentItems` parameter to `true`.
