What is a pre-advice, and do I need one?

Tell us a parcel is coming. It's free, and skipping it costs you a fee.

A pre-advice is you telling us a parcel is on its way, before it lands.

Go to Packages → Create Incoming and enter the tracking number, the store, what's inside, and what it cost. It sits as EXPECTED until the warehouse receives the box; when the tracking number matches, the two are linked and it becomes a real package in your account.

Pre-advise everything. A parcel that arrives with no matching declaration has to be identified manually, and a non-pre-advised fee is added to what you pay for it. Declaring your incoming package takes a few seconds and costs nothing.

Use the carrier's tracking number for the parcel coming to our hub — the one in the store's shipping confirmation — not the store's order number.
