Overview
- Learn how to cancel Royal Mail shipments via Intelligent Shipper
- You should be cancelling all shipments which you do not send out to avoid being billed for them.
Why do I need to cancel Royal Mail shipments?
Royal Mail requires all shipments to be manifested or cancelled whether they have been sent or not.
In Starshipit, you can print a label, then archive it or redo it and create a new label (redoing also archives shipments). The archived shipments must be cancelled if you wish to avoid unwanted charges.
Any shipments which are not manifested in Starshipit or cancelled in Intelligent Shipper (see below) will be automatically manifested at the end of every week on Sunday at 10:00 pm UK Time, resulting in unwanted charges from Royal Mail.
