Quick answer: a single shipment goes to 1 person and a batch goes to several. The platform decides by the number of recipients. A large shipment is above the automatic quote limit, and our team quotes the freight with other carriers.
The three types
| Type | When it happens | How freight works |
|---|---|---|
| Single shipment | 1 recipient | Automatic quote on the spot |
| Batch shipment | Several recipients, chosen from contacts or a spreadsheet | Automatic quote on the spot |
| Large shipment | Volume, quantity or weight above regular carriers' limits | Sob cotação (Upon quote), done by our team |
Single and batch shipments start from the same screen. See Request a shipment.
How a large shipment works
- When the shipment goes over the limit, the price shows as Sob cotação.
- Choose the delivery option: Turbo, Entrega programada (Scheduled delivery), Mais rápido (Fastest) or Mais barato (Cheapest).
- Click Confirmar e solicitar cotação (Confirm and request quote).
- Our team quotes with other carriers, following your choice, and emails you when the price is ready.
- Approve the price in Envios > Envios individuais (Shipments > Individual shipments) and the shipment moves on.
Until approval, the shipment shows as Aguardando cotação (Awaiting quote).
