Shipping as a Business on Cargosender

There's no separate business account, tier or approval process — here's exactly what does and doesn't change when you book as a business.

Cargosender doesn't operate a separate business account system. Whether you book as a company or as an individual, you use the same booking flow, see the same prices, and pay with the same methods. What changes is billing: add your company name and VAT/NIF number when booking, and your invoice is issued to your business. This is a different thing from a direct business account with an individual carrier (like your own DHL or UPS account number) — a separate, external arrangement that Cargosender doesn't set up or broker on your behalf.

Key Benefits

Invoice with your company details

Add your company name and VAT/NIF number at booking, and your invoice is issued to your business rather than an individual.

Support by email

Our support team is available by email for questions about your bookings or invoices.

What Actually Happens When You Book as a Business

There's no separate sign-up, application or approval step. You get a quote and book exactly as any customer would — the only business-specific action is providing your company name and VAT/NIF number during billing, which determines how your invoice is addressed.

  • Get a quote and choose a service tier — the same options and prices shown to every customer.
  • Book and pay by Credit or Debit Card, Google Pay, or Revolut — the same payment methods available to any booking.
  • Add your company name and VAT/NIF number at billing so the invoice is issued correctly.
  • Your invoice is prepared and emailed to you after your booking is confirmed and paid.

This Is a Different Thing From a Carrier's Own Business Account

In the wider courier market, a "business account" usually means a direct commercial relationship between a company and a specific carrier — a negotiated rate card, an account manager, and sometimes credit terms, set up directly with that carrier rather than through a booking platform. Cargosender doesn't set up or broker this kind of arrangement.

  • A direct carrier account is an agreement between your business and that specific carrier — Cargosender isn't a party to it and can't apply for one on your behalf.
  • Cargosender's own booking flow doesn't currently offer negotiated rate cards, a dedicated account manager, or credit terms.
  • If your shipping volume is high enough that a direct carrier account looks worthwhile, that's a conversation to have directly with the carrier, independent of whether you also use Cargosender for other shipments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to set up an account to ship as a business?

No — there's no separate business account, tier or approval process. Book the same way as any customer, and add your company name and VAT/NIF number at billing so your invoice is issued to your business.

Will I get different prices as a business?

No — Cargosender doesn't operate separate business pricing tiers. You see and pay the same transparent price shown at quote time, regardless of whether you're booking as a business or an individual.

Is a Cargosender business booking the same as a carrier business account?

No. Booking as a business on Cargosender just means your invoice carries your company details — it's the same platform, prices and process as any booking. A direct carrier business account is a separate, external commercial relationship with that specific carrier, which Cargosender doesn't set up or broker.

Can I get an invoice made out to my company?

Yes. Provide your company name and VAT/NIF number at booking, and your invoice is prepared and emailed to you after your booking is confirmed and paid.
