How WorldBridges shipping works
Every shipment — domestic or cross-border — moves through the same five steps, whether you book on the website, from your dashboard, or through the API.
Get a rate
Enter origin, destination, weight, and dimensions. We return a price, currency, and transit-day range for every service level in one call — the same rating engine behind POST /v1/rates.
Book & print a label
Confirm the rate and we generate one shipping label with a WorldBridges tracking number. For cross-border lanes, customs paperwork is generated in the same step.
Pickup & linehaul
The parcel is collected and moves through our network toward the destination country. Cross-border lanes route through pre-cleared crossings so the parcel doesn't wait at the border.
Customs clearance
Duties are estimated at booking, not guessed at the door. Declared value and category travel with the label, so clearance happens without a second document or a second carrier.
Delivered & tracked
One tracking number covers the whole journey. Recipients see city-level location and status on the public tracking page; your systems can read the same event stream from GET /v1/tracking/{number}.
