How to Label Parcels and Ship Them to the Consolidation Warehouse
Once you have pre-declared and generated a label, the next step is sending the parcel to the consolidation warehouse, and only two actions really matter: stick the label firmly on a flat face of the carton, and put your shipping mark in the recipient field. The shipping mark is made up of your member code plus the route code, and it is how the warehouse identifies whose parcel has arrived. Without it the parcel cannot be matched to your account. This guide covers how to fill the mark in, how to stick the label, and which warehouse to use.

Which warehouse do parcels go to, and how do you fill in the recipient details?
Whether you ship the parcel yourself or order from a Taiwan seller on Shopee or momo and have them send it, the recipient details must be the consolidation warehouse, not your own address. The air and sea warehouses are different addresses, so decide your shipping mode first and then send the parcel to the matching one.
Fill the recipient fields like this:
| Field | What goes in it | Where to get it |
|---|---|---|
| Delivery address | The warehouse matching your shipping mode | The Warehouse Address page after login |
| Recipient | Your shipping mark, member code plus route code | The copy button beside that route on the same page |
| Contact number | That warehouse's phone number | The Warehouse Address page |
The Warehouse Address page sits in the member area. After login you will see one card for the air warehouse and one for the sea warehouse, each showing the recipient, address and phone number, and you can also type "warehouse" to the official LINE account to pull it up. For what happens to the parcel once it lands, see what a consolidation warehouse actually does.
What is a shipping mark, and why must it go in the recipient field?
A shipping mark is the unique identifier the system assigns you, formatted as your member code followed by the route code, so the member code is joined to a short alphanumeric code representing that route. It goes in the recipient field, and it is what tells the warehouse which member a parcel belongs to and which route it is travelling on.
Four things about the mark are worth knowing:
- It is not the same as your member code: the mark is the member code plus the route code, so a member code alone is incomplete.
- Every route has its own mark: the air and sea route codes differ, so those two marks differ as well. Use the one matching the route you are shipping.
- Copying it is safest: the Warehouse Address page shows the assembled mark next to each route with a copy button, and copying beats typing it out.
- Without it the parcel cannot be matched: the parcel arrives, but the system does not know whose it is, so it can end up unclaimed and delayed.
This matters most when a Taiwan seller ships on your behalf, because the seller has no way of knowing your mark. You have to enter the mark in the recipient field yourself when you place the order. The label barcode plus the shipping mark in the recipient field gives you two ways to be identified, which makes check-in both fastest and most accurate.
How should you stick the label so check-in is not delayed?
The label is the parcel's identity document, and it only works if it is legible and firmly attached. Get these six points right and you avoid almost every check-in problem.
- Print it clearly: the barcode and reference number must be complete and scannable, with no faint ink or clipped edges.
- Stick it on a flat face: use the largest, flattest side so the scanner can read it easily.
- Stick it down firmly and flat: all four edges down, no curled corners or wrinkles, so it cannot come off in transit.
- Do not cover the barcode: tape over the barcode or the number can cause glare or smearing and stop it scanning.
- Do not stick it across a seam or opening: otherwise it tears when the box is opened.
- One label per box: each carton carries its own label, and multiple cartons never share one.
One detail people often miss: remove or black out old labels. If a reused carton still carries a previous courier barcode, the scanner may well read the wrong one. For how labels are generated in the first place, see the pre-declaration guide.
How should you pack before shipping to the warehouse?
How you pack before sending to the warehouse determines both your freight cost and your damage risk. Pack tightly, protect fragile goods and choose a decent carton, and everything downstream runs more smoothly.
- Pack tight with no gaps: more empty space means more volume and a higher chargeable weight. See how volumetric weight is calculated.
- Protect fragile items individually: wrap glass, bottles and small electronics separately in bubble wrap and add cushioning inside the box. See the packing guide.
- Use a sturdy outer box: pick a structurally sound carton and reinforce the seal with cross taping so it survives handling.
- Confirm the goods are shippable: check batteries, perfume, food and similar restricted goods before sending. See the prohibited items guide. Whether an item may actually be imported still depends on Malaysia's current rules.
Does it differ if you ship yourself or ask the seller to ship?
If you ship yourself you can stick the label on before handing the parcel over, whereas with a seller shipping on your behalf the label is usually handled once the parcel reaches the warehouse. The difference is only in the label. The recipient details are filled in exactly the same way either way.
| Situation | Delivery address | Recipient | Label handling |
|---|---|---|---|
| You pack and ship yourself | Warehouse matching your mode | Your shipping mark | Print and stick it before handing over |
| Taiwan seller ships for you | Warehouse matching your mode | Your shipping mark | Follow the forwarder's instructions |
| Several sellers, several orders | All to the same warehouse | Every order carries the mark | Consolidated into one despatch on arrival |
Having several sellers send to the warehouse separately and then consolidating everything into a single despatch is the cheapest way to ship. For the Shopee workflow specifically, see shipping from Taiwan Shopee to Malaysia.
What are the most common mistakes when shipping to the warehouse?
All five of the most common mistakes happen before the parcel leaves your hands, which means all five are avoidable. Spending a minute on a pre-despatch check saves far more time than chasing a parcel afterwards.
| Common mistake | What happens | How to avoid it |
|---|---|---|
| No shipping mark in the recipient field | Cannot be matched on arrival, becomes unclaimed | Copy the full mark from the Warehouse Address page |
| Member code only, route code missing | The route is ambiguous | Copy the complete mark for that route |
| Wrong warehouse, air goods sent to the sea warehouse | Needs transferring, check-in delayed | Decide the mode before shipping |
| Label falls off or covers the barcode | Scanning fails, check-in delayed | Flat face, all edges down, barcode clear |
| Shippability not checked | Held or returned | Check the prohibited and restricted item rules first |

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I send the parcel?
To your consolidation warehouse. After logging in, the Warehouse Address page shows the recipient, address and phone number for both the air and the sea warehouse, and typing "warehouse" to the official LINE account pulls the same details up. The two addresses differ, so confirm whether the batch is travelling by air or sea before you send it.
What exactly goes in the recipient field?
Your shipping mark, meaning your member code plus the route code for that route. The Warehouse Address page shows the assembled mark beside each route with a copy button, so copy and paste it. Entering only your name, or only your member code, can leave the parcel unmatched.
Are the air and sea shipping marks the same?
No. The member code is the same but the route codes differ, so air and sea give you two different marks. Use whichever matches the route you are shipping, and send the parcel to the corresponding warehouse so the two agree.
How do I stick the label correctly?
Print it clearly, stick it on the largest and flattest face of the carton, press all four edges down so nothing curls, keep tape off the barcode, avoid seams and openings, and use one label per box. If the carton has been used before, remove or black out the old courier labels first.
How do I fill it in if the seller ships for me?
Set the delivery address to the warehouse matching your shipping mode, and enter your shipping mark in the recipient field yourself, because the seller has no way of knowing it. The label is handled according to the forwarder's instructions, usually matched up by the warehouse once the parcel arrives.
Three actions that get your parcel into the warehouse cleanly
The whole guide reduces to three actions: first, put the complete shipping mark, member code plus route code, in the recipient field, copied from the Warehouse Address page; second, decide air or sea before you ship and send the parcel to the matching warehouse; third, print the label clearly, stick it on a flat face, keep the barcode uncovered, and use one label per box.
When you are ready, create a consolidation order and pre-declare to get your label and warehouse address, or type "warehouse" to the official LINE account for the address. To see the whole process end to end, read the pre-declaration guide and the complete Taiwan to Malaysia guide.
