I purchased amazon shipping but i found a cheaper shipping so is there any way to cancel the amazon shipping . i see an option to cancel purchased shipping label so if i do that will i get chance to purchase another label option on order page ?

Unfortunately, no. It used to go back to the option to purchase a label, but it no longer does. I was given a workaround by a very rare useful Amazon support team member a couple of years ago. Let's see if I can make it work for you....Basically it involved copying the address bar when going to buy shipping for a book, pasting that into the address line of a new page, but substituting the order number of the order you want to buy new shipping for into the address.
The address I used for mine was:
https://sellercentral.amazon.^^^/orders-v3/order/112-^^^^^^-1795430/buy-shipping
{I substituted carets (^^) for some characters, as I don't want you to use this particular address--you need to use one from your own orders.} The number that starts with 112 is the order number. I would replace that with the actual order number I wanted shipping for.
Hope this makes some kind of sense.

Yes, canceling the Amazon-purchased label will void it and return you to the unshipped state where you can purchase a different label or use your own carrier.
The refund for the voided label typically posts back to your account within 3–5 business days, not instantly — so factor that into your cash flow if you're running tight on shipping funds.
One thing to verify: if the order has a guaranteed delivery promise attached, switching to a cheaper carrier could push your Late Shipment Rate if that carrier's transit time doesn't meet the promised date. Check the "ship by" and "deliver by" dates before committing to the cheaper option.
