# How to Re-Book a Courier Pickup with TUNL

Need to re-book a pickup? No worries, we’ve got your back. Whether a courier didn't arrive or you had to step away, here's how to easily reschedule your collection.

### Important Note on Exporter Details

If you plan to ship using your **South African ID number** (instead of an exporter code), please make sure the name on your TUNL account matches your **legal name**, exactly as it appears on your ID.
For example, if your name is *Samantha* *Cross* and your business is called *CrossFitters*, but you're exporting under your personal ID, you’ll need to sign up as *Samantha Cross*, not *CrossFitters*. That way, your export documents and ID align properly.

||| ❗️ **If you're using your ID, you&#32;*cannot*&#32;ship under your business name.**

||| **You'll also need to present a copy of your ID when the courier arrives for collection.**  

This is non-negotiable and required for customs clearance.

Following this process helps prevent delays and ensures your shipment clears export control smoothly.

### 🚚 When Should You Re-Book a Pickup?

Things don’t always go to plan, and that’s okay. You might need to re-book a pickup if:

* The driver missed your collection window
* You weren’t available when they arrived
* You updated your shipment after booking
Whatever the reason, we’ll help you get things sorted fast.

###  🔁 How to Re-Book a Pickup in TUNL

Here’s a quick step-by-step to re-booking your collection:

1. **Log in to your TUNL dashboard**
2. Go to your **“Shipments”** tab
3. Select the shipment that needs rebooking
4. Click **“Re-book Pickup”** and confirm your new preferred date and time
Once confirmed, we’ll send the updated request to the courier. You’ll get an email notification when it’s scheduled.

| 💡 Pro tip: When a driver collects your parcel, ask for their phone number. That way, if your collection is missed, you’ve got a direct line—especially helpful in outlying pickup areas.

### 🕐 Pickup Timing & Cut-Offs

To avoid delays, aim to re-book your pickup **before 14:00** (2PM) on the same day. After that, your request will be scheduled for the next business day.
If you book a collection for a window like **9:00–12:00**, keep in mind this is a **preferred time**, not a guarantee. Carriers service different areas at different times daily, so flexibility helps avoid frustration.

### 💰 Outlying Areas: Know Before You Book

* **Try our new PostNet drop-off service**—easy, fast, and reliable
Choose what works best for your business, especially if you're based outside major cities.

**Recommended Options:**
