Remember the following about ShipStation's integration with Sendle:
Due to COVID-19-related flight restrictions, Sendle cannot process any shipments over 2KG to Zone 2 & 3 (essentially any country except New Zealand).
ShipStation will not create Sendle labels with a scheduled Ship Date of the current date. To allow for the pickup request to be sent to Sendle, all shipments will default to one business day ahead of the current date.
You can get rates for Sendle in the Order Details and Shipping Sidebar, but the Rate Calculator option is not available.
There may be a slight delay in label creation. It can take 5-10 seconds for Sendle to return a label PDF.
No returns, multi-package shipments, or end of day forms.
International Pickups require you to show your I.D. for the first 3 pickups. See Sendle's International Parcel Pickups Explained for full details on what you need.
Restricted items: Sendle shipments created in ShipStation must follow Sendle's shipment policies. Review their What can't I Sendle article for details.
Sendle's rates are not yet available in the Rate Calculator.
