How To Get Packages Picked Up From Home With Kaebox: A Complete Guide

Updated: Sep 25

In this guide, you'll learn how to ship a package from the comfort of your home with the one-of-a-kind, Kaebox app. Your package pick-up request can be fulfilled by a walking, biking, or driving courier depending on your needs. This unique tool connects you with local couriers to achieve instant shipping in a matter of minutes, which helps you save time and keeps you from waiting in line at the post office.





Step-by-Step Instructions:


Open the "Send" Page


Select where the package will be picked up to begin, and fill out the ‘Sender Address’ details.


Select ' Yes ' if the pickup address is the same as the sender's. If the sender address differs from the pickup address, then select ‘No’. 


Enter the Recipient Address


Click to add the ‘Recipient Address’ and fill out the details.


You should see two address fields on your screen.

Sender’s Address: Here you will enter the address you are shipping from. If the Pick-Up Address differs from the Sender’s Address, then select No at the top of the page. If these addresses are the same, then select Yes. This is an important step in case your shipment cannot be delivered and the item must be sent back to its point of origin. 

Recipient Address: This is the address where your shipment will be delivered. Take special care to verify all the information is correct and up to date before you continue. 


To ensure the package pickup and delivery locations are correct, you can open the map icon to drop a pin at the exact location the walking, biking, or driving courier should navigate to. Now you can review your shipment information and verify it is correct before moving on.


Packaging Services


After you complete the Shipment Information page, select which services you desire for your order. At this stage, you will see three options on your screen in the Kaebox app. 


Packaging: Select this option to get mailer bags brought to you to prepare your package.

Postage Label: Select this option to have your courier print your shipping label(s) for you. 

Pick Up & Drop Off: Select this option to get a courier pick-up and drop-off service. 


Select each option to arrange a full-service home pickup, if you do not need packaging or printing services you can opt out. After you have made your selections, continue to the next step.


Package Dimensions


Next, you will select which type of package you are sending. Choose a Letter, Envelope, or Box from the dial. 


Now you must enter the package dimensions. Provide accurate Length, Width, and Height for the item you wish to send. 


After you enter the measurements you must provide the weight of the item. Kaebox users can use their Smart Scale for this step to record accurate data. 


Once you enter the package’s dimensions and weight, the app automatically calculates which Kaebox mailer bag best fits the order. 


Review these options from the drop-down menu. Users can choose another size parcel or continue with the recommended size. 


Review the Restricted Items List


Before you continue we ask that you review the Prohibited Items List in order to protect our couriers and postal workers from hazardous or illegal materials. This is an essential step in the instant shipping process through the Kaebox app. 


Choose Your Shipping Coverage


Now you can select any shipping insurance you wish to add to the order. Package protection plans are provided by a Third-Party and users can customize the amount they pay. Choose your preferred amount and add insurance to your order in the Kaebox app. 


Provide Delivery Instructions

Here, you can select whether the delivery requires a signature or not. This option ensures that your package is handled appropriately by the courier company, providing extra security for valuable items.


Package Indications


Tell the courier if your shipment is fragile or contains liquid. It is important to supply this information during your package pick-up request to ensure the safety of your item(s) and the courier. This information helps the courier handle your package with care and avoid any potential damage during transit. 


Pick Your Perfect Price


Review the pricing options in the Kaebox app and sort them according to cheapest price, or fastest delivery. Scroll through your discounted options from carriers like USPS, UPS, DHL, and FedEx. Make your selection and continue to the next page.


You will be prompted to take a photo of the item you wish to ship so the courier can identify it when they arrive. If your order contains multiple items, please mark them individually.


Review Your Order


Now that you have provided all the necessary information, you can review your order. Take special care to ensure the sender address, recipient address, and package indications are correct before you continue. Once you have confirmed everything is correct you can continue to the checkout process. You are ready to request your walking, biking, or driving courier from the Kaebox app. 


Proceed Through Checkout
