​ 

How to Create a Manual Shipment

 

You can manually create a shipment from Label Creator > To Ship. 

• Click on Create manual shipment on the top right corner of the page to start.

Tip: to use information from an already existent order, include its ID number in Search field to apply the data to the shipment.

 

1. Sender Info

In the window that pops up you'll see Sender Info, that should already be compiled with the address you have entered when you first registered. 

If you'd like to change it, you can do it from My Profile > Sender Info. 

Also, If you'd like to use a different Sender Address, you'll need to add it from Admin > My Addresses and Parcels first and then select it from Your Address Book in Create Manual Shipment. 

Then click on Next Step to proceed.
​ 

2. Recipient Info

To complete the fields containing Recipient Info, you can either manually add the address or retrieve it from your Address Book. Click on Next step to proceed to Parcel Details.

Note: Name, Street line, City, Post Code and Phone are mandatory fields.
