At the top of the shipment details, you can add a shipment reference by clicking within the reference field. If you need to postdate a shipment to be sent at a later date you can change it by clicking on “Ship Date” and selecting a new date from the drop-down calendar. This can be done for up to 7 days in the future.

When all details have been filled out correctly, the shipment can be quoted. If an item is missing, you will see the item highlighted in RED text. Fill in the required fields and your shipment will automatically quote, allowing you to proceed to create the shipment label.

When your shipment is ready, click the orange box to ship your package.

The platform offers a feature to verify each address you are shipping to. You will also notice a green box within the quote box when the address has been verified.

Packages will still ship without verifying the address, but there could be delivery delays if the address is incorrect. If the address cannot be verified, you’ll see the following message.

When the shipment has been booked, your label will automatically pop up to print. If you do not get a pop-up, check your pop-up blockers to ensure they are off.

You can also use the Print and Email options on the right side of the screen to print or email your label.
