Orders per page

Once done there will be shown all the shipments made between these two days.

Why was my shipment duplicated? 🤔

This can happen if the order was processed from two different PCs so it ill result in two identical shipments created in the platform. You can simply delete the duplicate.

If you accidentally shipped both and the carrier got both parcels, you should contact the carrier directly and ask them to return the parcel to the warehouse.


Done! 🎉
