Collections

Some carriers provide collection services that you can schedule, enabling your carrier to pick up your shipments at a designated time and location. These collections can be scheduled on an ad-hoc basis or as recurring services, arranged directly with your carrier.

Tracked collections, which can be coordinated with carriers via the MyParcel.com platform, require that all shipments belong to the carrier assigned to the Tracked collection.
Untracked collections serve both administrative purposes or where a third party is responsible for collecting your shipments. Additionally, untracked collections have the flexibility to include shipments from multiple carriers.

Creating a collection

Collection guide

Navigate to ‘Collections’ at the top of the MyParcel.com portal.

Select the shop where the collection will take place and then click “Next step.”

When dealing with third-party collection addresses, click “Edit address” in step 1 and enter the desired collection location.

Provide the collection details:
1. Give the collection a description.

  1. Selecting “No” will remove the contract selector. Click “Next step” to continue.
