Additional Details about SEKO LTL from ShipStation

  • "Failure to Service” message 

    What it means: This is the message SEKO sends if a pickup is missed or not arranged. Example: The shipment was picked up on 10/26 and the consignee was not contacted to arrange delivery until around November 19th. By that time, the consignee could not accept delivery and they requested to cancel because of the delay. This is a service failure that led to a cancellation; therefore, the shipping charges (outbound/return) are being claimed

    What to do: Report this message to your local SEKO pickup who can then provide insight and next steps for your service levels and begin the claims process.

  • SEKO LTL only recognizes the short 5-digit version of a zip code.

  • No same-day pickup: ShipStation automatically sets the ship date as the next day and calculates shipping time for 5 business days from that ship date.

  • Pickups must be scheduled through SEKO directly. You can contact SEKO to schedule the pickup by calling 866-268-5263.

  • SEKO LTL delivery times are estimated, as they do not have a service guarantee. Delayed shipments are not eligible for refunds.

  • Neither Shipsurance nor carrier insurance is currently supported with SEKO LTL in ShipStation.

    If you added Shipsurance to a shipment and no label was created, simply void the label (this will refund the label fee to your balance) and remove Shipsurance from the shipment. Then, create the label again.
