Can carriers pick up orders from a different address?

Do not assume a carrier can pick up from a different address automatically. Pickups normally use the warehouse, ship-from, or pickup address configured for the shipment and carrier account.

Quick answer

Do not assume a carrier can pick up from a different address automatically. Pickups normally use the warehouse, ship-from, or pickup address configured for the shipment and carrier account.

When to confirm the pickup address

Confirm the pickup address before live shipments depend on it if:

  • nobody will be at the warehouse,

  • pickup should happen from a home or temporary address,

  • the carrier account was set up for a different location,

  • the order volume or pickup window is changing,

  • the pickup is part of a launch or first-week process.

What to send support

  • Pickup address.

  • Contact name and phone number.

  • Pickup window.

  • Carrier and service, if known.

  • Expected daily order volume.

  • Whether labels or manifests have already been created.

  • Whether live customer orders are waiting.

What good looks like

The pickup address, contact, carrier, and window are confirmed before the team creates live labels or waits for a courier.
