How the yearly shipment pool works

On an annual plan your shipments are one pool for the whole year, not a monthly allowance.

On a yearly plan you get twelve months of shipments as a single pool, available from day one. There is no monthly reset.

Track 400 in your peak month and 40 in a quiet one — only the total across the year matters. That is the point: ocean freight is seasonal, and a monthly cap penalises exactly the months you are busiest.

The usage banner on an annual account, outlined in red: shipments added against a single pool for the whole year, with an expiry date eleven months away.

On an annual plan the banner counts against the whole year's pool, and the expiry date it shows is the end of your year — not the end of this month.

If you run out before the year is up

You can top up with add-on shipments at any time, or move to a larger plan. We email you as the pool passes 50%, 80%, 95% and 100% so it is never a surprise.

Switching back to monthly

You can, at the end of the annual period. The pool does not carry over — it is bought for that year.
