In the final stage of shipment creation on Easyship, you’ll be prompted to select either a Pickup or Drop-off handover option. This article explains how to manage the handover process.
In this article:
Drop-off
This option allows you to drop off the shipment at the courier’s local office or depot. The drop-off location will be displayed when you choose this option in Easyship.
Pickup
When you schedule a pickup, the courier collects the parcel from your default pickup address during the selected date and time slot. The available time slots are based on the courier’s availability. For a more specific slot, contact the courier directly.
Save Money on Pickup Fees
If a courier charges for pickups, creating multiple shipments at the same time in the Create Shipments > Advanced section of the dashboard ensures all shipments are grouped under one pickup request, and you’ll only be charged a single pickup fee.
Note: Some couriers charge pickup fees, which are clearly displayed when scheduling. If you have Checkout enabled, you can include the pickup fee in the total shipment cost via your checkout settings.
