Restriction
Are there any items I cannot send through Toll? What types of goods are prohibited?

  • Radioactive material.
  • Livestock, bloodstock and living creatures.
  • Precious metals, stones or jewellery, watches.

Packaging
What packaging should I use for my parcel?
You have the option of using your own packaging (satchels and boxes purchased from local office supply stores) or purchasing Toll satchels at Toll Collection Points and select Hubbed locations.
How to print and place my labels?

If you are recycling a carton or satchel, please remove any existing labels. Never apply a new label over an existing one. If feasible, print the labels that came with your reservation on self-adhesive paper. If you don't have any, use plain paper and keep it in a document pouch (printed side facing out). Make sure the printed label or document pouch is totally flat and visible on the top surface of the carton/satchel or the side of the pallet.

After taping/wrapping the carton/satchel/pallet, always affix labels so they are not concealed. Wrapping your labels over or obscuring them in any manner is not a good idea. Our scanners may not be able to read the barcode even if you can see it through the plastic wrapping.

Does Toll provide packaging?
Yes. At Toll Collection Points and Hubbed sites, satchels (1kg, 3kg, and 5kg) are available for purchase.
Documentation
What documents are needed to accompany my shipment?
A shipment/consignment note, and package labels are required for all shipments. Both of these documents are generated automatically when you book online and may be downloaded using the link sent to the email address you provided during the booking process.
What is a shipment/consignment note?
A shipment/consignment note is an important document that must be included with your shipment. It contains all relevant information, such as the origin and destination addresses, service type, account number (for registered users), and other vital information, to ensure that your shipment is handled quickly and professionally. When you book online, this document will be generated automatically.
