Introduction
Some carriers offer pickup of your parcels/goods.
You can book a pickup for a shipment in several ways:
-
Book while creating the shipment - Valuable if you create one single shipment that you want the carrier to pick up
-
Book directly after printing - This is convenient if you just realized you want the parcel to be picked up
- Book separately - This is useful if you want to book pickup for several shipments, with the same or different carriers, after creating all shipments
All methods may not be available for all services. For example, for some services, typically freight services, pickup booking is preselected. For those services, it is not possible to book pickup afterward.
Pickup booking is available for standard printing, printing favorites, and stored printings.
