🌏 This content is for Shippit customers located in Australia.
Smart Routing International (SRI) allows you to easily ship orders to customers wherever they live. SRI is Shippit’s proprietary multi-carrier delivery service, which uses smart technology to seamlessly connect multiple logistics service providers (LSPs), and take the hassle out of international shipping.
You can use SRI to ship both delivery duty paid (DDP), and delivery duty unpaid (DDU). When you ship DDP using SRI, upfront quotes are calculated automatically, and are inclusive of all duties, taxes, and import fees. Quotes are also guaranteed as long as accurate product information is provided. For more information about DDP and DDU, see our Shipping delivery duty paid (DDP) or unpaid (DDU) article.

Pickup and collection
You can expect SRI to pick up goods within 48 business hours from the time the order is booked for delivery in Shippit. SRI network partners pick up orders until 4:00 PM AEST, and the cut-off time in booking orders for next-day pick up is 2:00 PM AEST. This is subject to change without prior notice.
If you have high shipping volumes, we recommend that you arrange a regular pick-up schedule with SRI network partners. Get in touch with your Shippit Account Manager or contact Shippit support directly to arrange this.
You can cancel standard orders from your Shippit account, if it is showing a status of Booked for delivery. If you cancel an order after it is in transit, you are charged full price for the order. For more information about cancelling orders, see the Modify, cancel, or delete orders article.
If you need to rebook a pickup, contact Shippit support and we can reach out to the carrier for you. You can rebook free of charge if the order was a failed pickup. You are charged for rebooking if the order was marked as a futile pickup by the carrier, meaning that the driver attempted to pick up the order, but was unable to.
You can get in contact with SRI network partners through Shippit support.
