How Courier Booking Works
Jetkrate courier booking is designed for senders who already have a parcel and need to arrange international dispatch.
It is separate from package forwarding, where customers first shop online and ship to a Jetkrate warehouse. Here, the parcel already exists and the focus is choosing a suitable outbound courier service.
The five-stage courier booking flow
Enter parcel details
Provide origin, destination, dimensions, actual weight and declared value. Chargeable weight may use actual or volumetric weight depending on parcel profile.
Review available services
Service availability can vary by route, dimensions, parcel type and operational restrictions. The same carriers may not appear for every shipment.
Choose the best-fit option
Select by shipment priority: speed, price, handling sensitivity and tracking requirements.
Prepare the parcel
Pack securely, measure accurately and confirm prohibited/restricted item compliance before dispatch.
Complete booking
Finish booking and follow collection/drop-off instructions. Keep declaration details aligned with actual contents.
What courier booking is not
Courier booking is not package forwarding. Forwarding is for customers buying overseas and shipping purchases to a Jetkrate address first. Courier booking is for customers who already have the goods in hand.
How to avoid preventable delays
- Use exact packed dimensions and weight.
- Describe goods clearly and consistently.
- Check duties, taxes and destination restrictions.
- Review sensitive-item rules before booking.
- Pack for international transit standards.
Understated parcel details or weak packaging can lead to re-rates, delays or acceptance issues.
