Shipping conditions and billing

After successful configuration, you automatically ship at your own Cargo International business rates. Your individual agreements will then apply with regard to, among other things:

  • Transport insurance,

  • The (regular) pick-up / drop-off at parcel shops,

  • national shipping.

📌 Please note that Shipcloud is not able to show you any prices for Cargo International, as our system does not have access to this part of your contract. You can request them from your Cargo International account manager.

You will be billed directly by Cargo International for your shipping labels. You will only receive a monthly invoice from Shipcloud for the use of our service (basic and transaction fees) and for the shipping labels created at Shipcloud business rates with other carriers.

Important information about pickup and packaging

When the shipping label is created, we automatically book a pickup of your shipment for the following business day between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm.

Good to know: You can also view the pickup day as well as the time period after creating the shipping label in the "Shipments" menu item in the Shipcloud webUI.

Please make sure that your shipments are sufficiently and properly packed at the time of pickup. Helpful packing tips (german language) can also be found directly on the Cargo International website:

📌 Please note that Cargo International pallet shipping with Shipcloud is so far only available for shipping within Germany. If you are interested in shipping beyond the country border, please contact our sales team via email at sales@shipcloud.io for further information.
