How Shipping Works
How to Address Your Package
- Your package does not need to be specially wrapped - any clean, secure, sealed and contained box or container is adequate.
- At the station, you will be asked to provide the sender's name and phone number, as well as the recipient's name and phone number.
- The employee will add this to your parcel slip (called a Waybill) that will be put directly onto the package. This waybill also has your transaction ID.
- Recipients will be notified by phone when their parcel is ready for pick up.
