Purolator - Manifest |
Scroll |
Shipping manifest details all the shipments ready for pick up. It describes in detail or in summary what is being transported in each shipment.
The manifest must be generated in electronic and printed format. It contains information such as the number of pieces in each shipment, number of shipments, weight, type of service requested, sender, and receiver.
Electronic manifest files must be transmitted to Purolator and are used for billing purposes and for generating shipment tracking statuses. They are also used while crossing borders for US and International shipments.
Manifest Number
The manifest number is a 12 digit number. This number is not reused or duplicated for a minimum period of one year.
Declaring Shipments on Manifests
A day's manifests must contain only those shipments that were shipped via Purolator during that day.
In the case of future shipping, where shipments are labeled for one day but are shipped at a later date, the shipments must be included in the manifest for the date on which they are actually shipped.
Printed Manifest
Printed shipping manifests can be used to ensure that the information provided by Parcel through electronic manifests is accurate.

Note: The Purolator Interim Manifest includes all shipments (Domestic and US/International), as well as any voided shipments. It also includes all current-date and future-dated shipments. The system automatically creates (without user input) this information and uploads to Purolator an Interim Manifest once every hour if shipments have been created or voided.
Shipment Aggregation
Shipment aggregation is the process of consolidation of several shipments into one shipment. This leads to saving of shipping charges, since the base rate is applied only once across several shipments.
In case aggregation cannot be done, individual shipping charges apply.
Aggregation is not done at the time of generation of Interim Manifest, but at the time when the Final Shipping Manifest is generated.
