Booking without checking parcel size? That\u2019s one way to get your delivery rejected or delayed.<\/p>

What is the important:<\/strong><\/p>

Each courier has specific size and weight limits. If your item exceeds them, the courier might not pick it up \u2014 or worse, you\u2019ll get charged more.<\/p>

How to avoid it:<\/b><\/p>

\u2714\ufe0f Always measure and weigh<\/a> your parcel (length x width x height) before booking.
\u2714\ufe0f Platforms like EasyParcel show the limits for each on-demand courier so you can compare at a glance.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Not all couriers are built the same. Sending a bulky item through a small-package courier? That\u2019s going to be a problem.<\/p>

What is the important:<\/strong><\/p>

Using the wrong courier can lead to longer delivery times, failed pickups, or added fees.<\/p>

How to avoid it:<\/b><\/p>

\u2714\ufe0f Choose couriers based on what you’re sending \u2014 e.g. Lalamove for large items, Pandago for light ones.
\u2714\ufe0f Use a platform that lets you compare service types, prices, and limits.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A missing unit number or wrong postal code can completely derail your delivery.<\/p>

What is the important:<\/strong><\/p>

Couriers need precise info to find the right place \u2014 especially with time-sensitive orders.<\/p>

How to avoid it:<\/b><\/p>

\u2714\ufe0f Double-check every detail: block, floor, unit, postal code.
\u2714\ufe0f Add clear instructions like \u201cLeave at gate\u201d or \u201cCall upon arrival\u201d when needed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
