How to do Sendle pickup:

  1. Create your label within ShipStation (you’ll be able to select up to three days in the future). Choose the size as either a Satchel (under 500g, less than 0.002 cubic metres and booked as ‘Authority to Leave’) or Parcel (you have the option of ‘no Authority to Leave’ with this size).
  2. Package your parcel sufficiently (here’s some guidance on packaging). 
  3. Print the label in its original form – we can’t accept handwritten labels – and stick it on the parcel (the pickup date will be on there too). For more info about labelling your parcel, jump over here
  4. Have the parcel ready for the pickup driver on the selected pickup date (the driver will be there anytime between 8am and 6pm, unfortunately we can’t set a time and the driver can’t call in advance).

When your parcel is travelling

How can I track a parcel I’m sending or receiving?

When booking via ShipStation, tracking details are automatically updated on your ShipStation dashboard. If a shipment receives a tracking number, click on that tracking number anywhere it appears in ShipStation. You will be redirected to the carrier's tracking page, where you can view all tracking events provided by the carrier.

What if there was no pickup or delivery scan?

If the pickup or delivery scan is missing, Sendle will conduct a thorough investigation to confirm the pickup and delivery date. Sendle may contact the receiver of the parcel to verify the delivery date.

What happens if my parcel is returned to the sender after I have dropped it off?

The parcel will be returned to the sender address on the label.

Will I receive confirmation when I drop off my parcel?

Your Sendle tracking page will update shortly after your parcel is scanned at the drop off location. 

Editing or cancelling an order

How do I cancel a label that hasn’t been picked up or dropped off yet?

In order to cancel a parcel that has not been picked up or dropped off, follow these steps outlined by ShipStation.

How do I reschedule a pickup?

Once a label has been created, the Ship Date can not be changed. More info on ShipStation’s site.

Delivery process

All domestic Sendle parcels are delivered with Authority to Leave (ATL), which means the delivery driver will leave the parcel at the receiver's door if it is accessible and safe to do so.

You can read more about international delivery methods here.

If something goes wrong

It’s uncommon, but sometimes things happen. In the unlikely event that the delivery process wasn’t smooth, here’s what to do:

If the parcel pickup was missed 

  • Sendle automatically re-books any missed pickups.
