Pickup Manifest — The day's pickup list — shipments you booked and hand over in one batch, signed off by the rider. Courier billing starts from manifest scan.

Why it matters to your store

Unmanifested shipments are a common cause of 'pickup never happened'. Manifest daily; it's the legal handover record if a parcel goes missing.

This is the vocabulary every courier invoice, NDR report and rate card is written in — learn it once, save money forever.

Worked example

14 orders booked today → one manifest → rider scans all 14 → chain of custody established.

The bottom line

Shipping jargon is really just the billing manual in disguise — every term on this list maps to a line on an invoice or a lever on your margins. Pure Parcel is built so you rarely have to think about it: statuses normalise, bills reconcile, and quotes already include the surcharges.
