Shipping Operations Checklist
A structured daily verification routine for reviewing dispatches and fulfillment steps.
Before You Begin
- Open your Admin Panel Orders dashboard to view pending unfulfilled orders.
- Verify that packing supplies and label paper rolls are stocked.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Filter Unfulfilled Orders
Sort your Orders list by Unfulfilled status and organize shipments by priority or payment confirmation.
Step 2: Cross-Check Picked Items Against Packing Slips
Verify that product SKUs, quantities, and selected variants match the printed order slip exactly.
Step 3: Secure Packaging and Affix Shipping Labels
Ensure cartons are taped securely with readable, unblemished courier barcodes affixed flat to the package surface.
Step 4: Perform Carrier Handover and Obtain Manifest
Count parcels handed over to the courier driver and obtain a signed manifest or digital handover scan confirmation.
Step 5: Update Tracking Status in Admin Panel
Enter tracking numbers and mark orders fulfilled so tracking alerts deploy to buyers.
What You Should See
- Smooth daily fulfillment execution with every staged parcel accounted for and dispatched.
