Frequently asked questions
Booking process for e-commerce shipments "TK Courier"
It is important that the bookings of express cargoes including all e-commerce shipments are sent under the commodity codes "FLEXCOU" or "EXPRESSCOU".
Shipments booked as TK COURIER will automatically have the "COU" Handling SCC code.
Speed & Priority courier shipments (EXPRESSCOU) will also automatically have "COX" code in addition to "COU" code.
At the booking stage, some TK COURIER shipments come in "GEN" status without the "COU" code in the SCC code.
For e-commerce shipments transported in "GEN" status, it is strongly recommended to add "ECM" code as the Handling SCC code.
In addition, placing the phrase "KURYE İÇERİR" or "INCLUDES COURIER" in the description section on the MAWB documents of the shipments in this status will ensure better execution and management of the operation.
It is kindly requested to show the necessary sensitivity in implementation.
