Having problems creating an order? No worries. In this article, we’ll help you troubleshoot any technical difficulties.
But first, before getting into the nitty-gritty, you may want to start with our guide to sending your first parcel. It’ll take you through the whole process of using Sendle, so it’s less likely you’ll encounter any issues.
If that doesn’t seem to work, it’s time to troubleshoot:
Web browsers
If your internet browser is out of date, you may run into a couple of problems.
Sendle works best on:
- Google Chrome
- Internet Explorer 11+
- Safari 6+
- Firefox 11+
- Microsoft Edge
If you do not know how to find out what browser you are using try this link. If your browser needs updating then please go here and click the “update now” link.
Cookies and Javascript
Another common cause of issues is if you have cookies or javascript disabled. Make sure you enable cookies as well as javascript while using Sendle.
Operating System
If you are unsure about what operating system you’re using, then click here to find out. Most technical things work best if you keep your software properly updated!
Browser plugins
Some browser plugins (such as ad blockers) may interfere with our system. We’re not the experts on how the various browser plugins work, so please disable any that could potentially interfere with the Sendle system. An easy way to test this is to launch a different browser or using a browser’s safe mode (or "incognito" mode in Chrome).
