Pickup & Collection

Pickup Process

CouriersPlease offers first-mile collection services for SEKO customers who have less than 100 parcels per day.

Normally, CouriersPlease takes 1-2 days to collect, but if you already use CouriersPlease through Shippit, you can hand over your SEKO freight to your regular CouriersPlease driver.

After that, SEKO collects the freight from the CouriersPlease depot and takes it to the SEKO depot for processing.

Cancelling an order

  • You can cancel any standard orders from within the Shippit app so long as they remain in Booked For Delivery status. Once the order is in transit, it will be charged at full price.

Collection Times

  • CouriersPlease - please allow 1 business day for collection.

  • Seko Express is dependent on volume and the agreed arrangement during activation.

Note: During peak times, adhoc pickups may take 2-3 business days

Rebooking an order

  • To rebook a pickup, please contact Shippit support who will reach out to the carrier for you.

  • You are not charged to rebook a failed pickup unless the order has been futiled by the carrier (the driver has tried to collect it and is unable to).

Contacting Drivers

Delivery FAQs

ATL needs to be provided at the time of booking to apply to the order. Otherwise, the receiver can request it with the end-mile carrier.

Redelivery and redirection

  • Redelivery is dependent on the end-mile carrier and the receiver can usually do this online directly with the end-mile carrier once they receive their 'Delivery Attempted' email notification from Shippit.

  • Redirection is not available however goods can be returned at the sender's expense.

Customs Charges

  • On occasion, goods might get captured and held by MPI (Ministry of Prime Industry) for further investigation.

  • Who pays is dependant on how an account is setup on Shippit. The option to cover charges can remain with the receiver or sender.

  • It's essential to ensure customs declarations contain the exact qty, type of good etc to avoid delay (i.e food needs to declare if raw or cooked).

  • If this is not attached this to the order it will delay delivery.

  • The sender is ultimately liable for any excess charges passed on by customs, or those that the customer refuses.

Return to Sender (RTS)

Yes, however the sender is liable for the return costs.
