Sendle Additional Features 

Cancelling Orders

Deleting an order in Starshipit will not result in the job being cancelled in the Sendle system. You must cancel the job from within your Sendle dashboard to avoid being charged by Sendle.

Pickups

Once you've printed a Sendle label, a job will be booked in the Sendle system. This automatically triggers a next-day pickup. Please note, that different drivers pick up domestic and international orders so if shipping both shipments you will need to keep the packages separate for pickup. 

International

Sendle doesn't yet service all of Australia for international. For a full list of suburbs, see here. 

Size Category

If coming from Sendle dashboard, you will notice Starshipit doesn't have Sendle size categories. These are not required when booking through Starshipit. As long as you enter in the correct dimensions and weights, this will be selected automatically by Sendle when you click print.

Pickup Instructions

If you have specific instructions that you would like to be sent to the courier driver for picking up your packages. This can be configured from Settings > Couriers > Sendle > Advanced > Pickup Instructions. This will be sent to Sendle when you print your labels and they book the pickup on their end.
