What are the main steps from ordering to receipt?
In this article, Weefreight will provide a detailed explanation, hoping it will be helpful.
Customer Order: Customers place orders through the international express company’s official website, mobile app, or by phone. When placing an order, they must fill in detailed sender and recipient information, as well as cargo information such as name, address, phone number, cargo name, weight, dimensions, and value. They must also select the desired service and payment method, confirm the order information, and submit.
Courier Order Acceptance and Pickup Arrangement: After receiving the customer’s order, the courier will review the order and then arrange for the appropriate courier to pick up the goods at the sender’s designated pickup location.
Packing: Upon pickup, the courier will inspect the goods to ensure they meet shipping requirements. If the packaging is unsuitable, it will be repacked to prevent damage during transportation.
Package Weighing and Billing: The courier delivers the package to the courier’s processing center, where staff will weigh and measure the package. Based on the actual weight or volumetric weight, the shipping fee is calculated according to the courier’s standard rates.
Package Sorting and Processing: After weighing and billing, the package is delivered to the sorting center. Staff will sort and sort the packages according to the destination information on the package and re-check the packaging to ensure that there are no problems during transportation.
Transportation: After sorting, the package will be transported through the courier’s network based on the customer’s selected transportation method (such as air, rail, road, etc.) and destination. During transportation, customers can use the courier’s tracking number to track the package’s status in real time on their official website or mobile app.
Customs Clearance: Upon arrival at the destination country, the package will undergo customs clearance. International courier companies will assist with customs clearance procedures. Customers will need to provide relevant customs clearance documents, such as a commercial invoice, packing list, and certificate of origin. Customs will inspect the package to verify the accuracy of the declared information and compliance with local import regulations. Customs will also calculate any applicable duties based on the value and type of goods.
Delivery Arrival: After customs clearance, the package will be delivered to the destination courier center and then delivered to the recipient’s designated address by the courier. Upon receiving the package, the recipient will need to verify the order information, confirm the shipment, and sign the delivery receipt.
