TNT ExpressConnect

To access TNT Express services, Parcel now uses a Web Service called TNT ExpressConnect. Parcel users must have their account set up on the TNT ExpressConnect server, obtain login credentials, and then provide this information when configuring a TNT carrier. For information on setting up an account with TNT ExpressConnect, contact your local TNT representative for Express Connect registration details.

Notes:

•TNT ExpressLabel Web Service is used to print Routing Label for International shipments. To use this functionality, Parcel users must also register for the TNT ExpressLabel Web service, and then provide this account information when configuring a TNT carrier.

•Rating is done by the TNT ExpressConnect Web Service. Parcel passes shipment data to the ExpressConnect Web service, and then receives rating results back in the form of an XML file.
