How to Coordinate Multiple Parcels Under One Invoice with MuleBuy
MuleBuy’s process is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly. Follow these steps to merge your packages:
Step 1: Initiate a Consolidation Request
When you have multiple parcels ready to ship from our warehouse, inform your MuleBuy logistics specialist or use the platform’s dashboard to request invoice consolidation. Specify the parcels you wish to merge.
Step 2: Review the Unified Invoice Draft
MuleBuy will compile a single, detailed invoice listing all items from the selected parcels. This draft will include:
- A comprehensive itemized list with descriptions, quantities, and unit values.
- The total combined declared value for customs.
- Consolidated weight and dimensions (if applicable).
- A single, unique invoice number for the entire shipment.
Step 3: Approve and Finalize
Once you approve the unified invoice, MuleBuy will finalize the documentation. The individual parcels will be linked to this master invoice in our system while remaining as separate physical boxes for transit.
Step 4: Ship with Simplified Documentation
Your parcels will be shipped accordingly. You will receive the unified invoice as the primary financial document, while shipping labels and tracking numbers will still be provided for each physical parcel. Provide the unified invoice to your customs broker for a smoother declaration process.
