Navigate to the Packages section and add details for each carton box you plan to ship:

  • Total number of cartons
  • Dimensions (length × width × height)
  • Approximate weight for each carton

Each carton is treated as a separate package entry. Make sure all cartons are added before creating your pickup request.

If you're not fully sure and might add or remove packages later, save the pickup request in Draft mode.

✅ Step 5 — Finalize and Book Your Pickup​

After you have reviewed all details and are satisfied, change the status of the pickup request to BOOKED (or Manifested). At this point, your shipping labels will be generated automatically.

Once a pickup request is BOOKED, you can no longer change the pickup address or modify the package details.

🖨️ Step 6 — Download & Print Shipping Labels​

Once the request is booked, your shipping labels will be available as a PDF file.

If you have multiple packages, each package will have its own label on a separate page. For example:

  • 3 packages → 3 labels → 3 pages in the PDF

You can download a sample label PDF to see what to expect before your first pickup.

🧲 Step 7 — Attach Labels to Your Boxes​

Print the labels and stick one label on each carton:

  • Place the label on the side of the box
  • Do not stick the label on the top
