Does ShipSimple allow me to manage how I want to package multi-product orders?

Once a label has been created and affixed to your parcel, simply visit the Request Pickups & Drop Offs tab, and select Pickup on the shipment you need picked up. Fill in the necessary information, and your pickup has been requested. Please remember that Pickups are requests only and cannot be guaranteed.

For those with very high shipping volumes, please contact us to discuss how we can offer specialized pricing discounts.
How does billing work?
Here's what you can expect:
On a weekly basis you will be sent two documents:
1. Invoice Summary
2. Excel spreadsheet showing a detailed breakdown of all charges
- Quoted & post-delivery charges for purchased labels.
- Click here to understand why there may be a variance charged by the courier.
PLEASE NOTE: If there are any charges that you feel that are incorrect, please advise us promptly so we can investigate and dispute the charge on your behalf.
Why is the Invoice Summary showing a different amount than the original quote?
The price quoted to you at the time of label creation, is a quotation only, and is based on the information entered. Once the courier has picked up the shipment, the parcel(s) will be remeasured, weighed, and assessed, before delivery. If there are any variances between the information entered and what the courier has confirmed, this may result in additional charges and will be reflected in the final charge. We will provide a weekly invoice summary and detailed breakdown outlining any applicable variances and the reasons for each. Click here for more information.
