Ensure that items are secured for shipping, although our couriers take every effort to ensure that your packages are handles with care, it is the responsibility of you the Shipper to ensure that your items (especially breakable items) are secured with padding or bubble wrap as needed. Items can also be shipped in bags or shipping envelopes as the Shipper sees fit.

 

Delivery and Tracking Packages

  1. How do I track my package?

You can track your package by inputting the tracking number into the Search Bar on your account dashboard or our website. Your customers can also track their packages once they have the tracking number as well.

  1. Can my package be delivered at a specific time?

While our couriers work very hard to ensure that they make their deliveries as quickly as they can, due to external variables such as traffic conditions, weather, how many packages a courier has to deliver in that area and many other variables that cannot be readily predicted, we are unable to deliver packages for a specific time. We do strive to ensure that our packages are delivered within the business day.
