Team Global Express + ReturnMate

Team Global Express (TGE) is our go-to for national freight and any RMA where a depot drop-off makes sense. Integration covers PrintDocument label generation, multi-item consignments, and tracking sync.

§ 01 — Capabilities

What the integration does.

  • PrintDocument API label generation
  • Multi-item consignments on a single label
  • Depot drop-off network — no pickup booking needed
  • Business-to-business service codes for trade returns
  • Service codes configured per shop (default X = B2B, R = B2C)
  • Tracking sync with consignment number
§ 02 — Use cases

How merchants use it.

Multi-item consignments

Customer returns three items on one RMA. TGE generates a single consignment with all three items listed, one label, one tracking number — finance reconciles one line, not three.

Depot drop-off for B2C

For customers who'd rather drop off, the portal offers TGE depot drop-off with a location finder. No pickup booking needed, no wait window.

B2B trade returns

For TradeMate-sourced trade returns, TGE's B2B service code (X) is used automatically — freight-class pricing, end-of-day consolidation, depot-to-depot handling.

§ 04 — FAQ

Questions about Team Global Express.

Does TGE support dangerous goods?

Limited. TGE accepts some DG classes for freight shipments but not all. For lithium-battery returns, StarTrack (under 22kg) or TNT (over 22kg) are the default routes. Configure DG surcharges in Settings → Carrier Surcharges.

Can I drop off at any TGE depot?

Yes, any TGE-branded depot accepts drop-offs with a valid pre-printed label. The customer portal links to the TGE depot finder filtered by postcode.

What does the "X" service code mean?

TGE service codes: X = B2B freight, R = B2C consumer. Most ReturnMate customers use X for inbound returns from trade customers and R for consumer returns. The correct code is picked automatically based on order type; override per shop if needed.
