Watch: Place an order in the customer portal

1:12

How your customers sign in, say where it goes and what they send, pick a service with its price, and track the order.

On this page

You need the Place orders permission (see Invite colleagues). After you sign in, the portal opens on New order; New order in the top bar (the round + on a phone) brings you back. Every field is explained in the order screen guide.

Fill in the order

  1. Check the From line: your default or most-used pickup address is filled in. Click Change to pick another or add pickup contacts.
  2. In Deliver to, type a name, street, postal code or phone (for example M5V 2T6) and pick a place, or click one of the shortcut buttons. Not saved yet? Pick Add a new address; it's saved for next time (see Address book). This needs the Manage address book permission; without it you send to saved places only.
  3. Check the receiver. Edit changes the name and phone; Receiver email and instructions adds more.
  4. Under What are you sending?, choose the kind of package, describe What's inside?, and enter How many and the total Weight.
The When and how fast section: ready for pickup or schedule, services with their price and delivery date, and add-ons

Send the same thing again

When you pick a place you sent to before, a line shows Last time with what that order held. Click Same as last time to copy it. You can also pick an order under Recent orders in the search, click a … again shortcut (named by where it went and when, for example W 38th St, Midtown · 15 Oct again), or click Order again on an old order.

The copy keeps your pickup and Ready for pickup. Your reference, external order ID, appointment reference and any amount to collect are cleared: fill them in for this order.

Fill what your courier needs

If your courier requires something for your account, such as Your reference or a PO number, it's listed under Required by and your courier's name, after the packages. Choices your account fixes show as chips, for example Signature required · set by your account. Everything optional is under Add details (optional).

Choose when and how fast

  1. Under When should we collect?, keep Ready for pickup or pick Schedule and a Pickup day and time. A line above the services shows cut-offs today, e.g. Order by 5:00 PM for Weekend.
  2. Under How fast?, pick a service; each shows its price and Delivered by date.
  3. Tick any Add-ons you want.

Place it

The Your order panel (on a phone, the bar at the bottom) shows the route, packages, service and Total, with tax unless labelled Total before tax.

  1. Click Place order (or press Ctrl Enter). If something is missing, To place it, add … links to each missing field.
  2. The order page opens with Order … is placed, the delivery date and a tracking link to pass on (see Track your orders).
The Your order panel with route, packages, delivered-by date, total and the Place order button

Not ready? The order saves itself as a draft once it has a destination and a description. Save draft and exit keeps it under Drafts; next time the screen offers Continue. Discard throws it away.

Change or cancel an order

Under Place order a line says how long you can cancel online, for example Cancel online until the driver reaches the pickup.

  1. Open the order from Orders.
  2. At the top of the order, click Change details, change what you need and click Save changes. Packages can't change once placed; cancel and reorder instead.
  3. To cancel, click Cancel order, say Why are you cancelling? and confirm. A cancellation fee, if any, shows before you confirm and goes on your next invoice.
