Shipments Page
The Shipments page is the best view for your customer care and logistics teams to quickly track shipments across all your carriers or export a fine-tuned segment of shipments. This article will not only provide some basic functionality use cases, but also best practices to help your teams.
Which Shipments Appear Here?
The Shipments page displays all shipments from your connected carriers with a Convey created date in the last 13 months. We continue to store all data past 13 months, so if you require a report for a period in that timeframe, please contact support@getconvey.com.

Advanced Multiple Shipment Search for Tracking Numbers
Have a list of tracking numbers that you need to look for at one time? Click the search icon next to the text field at the top of the page. Copy and paste up to 30 tracking numbers into the advanced multi-search box.
Any tracking numbers entered here that do not match any corresponding shipments in Convey will be visible in a drop down at the top of the results page.
