Guide to setting up DACHSER as a carrier in Webshipper

1. The Setup

This carrier is a little different than most.

On a Dachser setup, Webshipper support will need to do everything for you. Contact Webshipper support here or on +45 89 87 83 15 and ask them to set up Dachser as a Carrier for you.

Before the setup can start, you need to have Dachser credentials ready, so if you still need to get these, please contact us when these are in order.

2. Having your carrier approved

Webshipper support will contact Dachser and have each service needed approved separately. This may be a time consuming process due to various factors, so expect this process to take up to 1-2 months. The reason for the setup time is that:

1. We need to verify your credentials with Dachser.
2. We need to create test shipments based on a shipment file from Dachser, built from your agreement.
3. Test shipments/labels are sent to the German Dachser office for manual review. 
4. We get feedback and adjust.
5. More test shipments to be approved in Germany.
6. Final approval unless more test shipments are needed.

3. Creating Shipping Methods 

In the setup process, Webshipper support will need to know which services you would like to use.

So when you reach out to Webshipper support, you will be asked about all the details required for your setup. Webshipper will create those shipping methods and create test shipments on those shipping methods.
The test shipments will all be sent to Dachser for manual approval, which might take up to 7 work days.
