IMPORTANT - You can only add, update and delete parcels for a draft job.

Parcels represent the individual packages within a delivery. A parcel belongs to a delivery and deliveries can have many parcels. Parcels contain the following data:

  • Details of the parcel contents.
  • Parcel size and weight.
  • Parcel value (used for insurance purposes).
  • External reference numbers associated with the parcel.
  • Whether the parcel requires an age check to be performed.

When creating a job, the parcel_external_id field is used to match pickups with deliveries. For this reason, the parcel_external_id field must be unique within a job.
