Scheduling a time with a courier and handing over your orders

Ensure you have completed all the necessary steps in preparing your order with Easyship first before continuing here.


There are 2 ways you can control your shipping. 

  • Manually booking a specific day/time to pick up the orders

  • Pre-arranged couriers making set scheduled pick ups

 

STEP 1. If you are ready to ship from the order shipment view, you can select "Go to Pickup Management".

 

Alternatively, you can also select Sales > Easyship Booking Management from the side menu.

 

 

 

STEP 2. Here you will see a list of couriers with orders already set in the Easyship Account. Select the courier you would like to organize the bookings for by selecting "View Pickup Details" on the right column.

 

 

STEP 3. The next screen will show you available orders for this courier that you can ship with and updated shipping information as it comes. The columns are as follows:

 

  • Order #: This is the Order ID

  • Shipping ID: Used by Easyship as a Reference for the shipment

  • Customer Name / Delivery Address: These are the customer's details

  • Country: Country of the shipment

  • Items: Number of items in the shipment

  • Shipment Status: This will update once the shipment has been booked - and is another way you can check the progress of the courier with this order

  • Track Shipment: This is the link/reference that customers can use to track their order.

  • Cancel Shipment: This will cancel the shipment. Shipments can only be cancelled before they are picked up.

Here, you can ship with the 2 options.

Pre-arranged couriers making set scheduled pick ups
