Your place for safe and faster shipping

Getting Started

If you're new to the pre-alert system or simply looking for a quick guide, you're in the right place! Here's a friendly step-by-step guide to using SNS Express's pre-alert system so your packages are processed faster.

What's Pre-alert in Shipping and Why Is It Important?

A pre-alert lets SNS Express know that your package is on its way to our Miami warehouse. By providing us with key information like the tracking number and details about your order, we can use that information once your package is scanned after the delivery. This way we can get it to the British Virgin Islands without delays. It's like giving us a heads-up to get things moving faster!

What Do You Need to Pre-alert Your Package?

Before you start the pre-alert process, make sure you have the following information:

Tracking number:

This is provided by the store or seller where you made the purchase (Amazon, AliExpress, etc.) when they dispatch the package to our warehouse in Miami.

Invoice of your order:

This shows the total value of your purchase and details about the items inside your package. You will find it on the order details, and you can download or take a screenshot of it to attach it to your pre-alert. Please note that in the British Virgin Islands, attaching your invoice is required for customs processing!

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I don't pre-alert my package?

Your package will still be processed, but it may take longer as our team will need to manually identify and assign it to your account.

Can I pre-alert multiple packages at once?

Each package needs to be pre-alerted individually with its own tracking number and details.

What if I make a mistake in my pre-alert?

You can contact our customer service team to help correct any information in your pre-alert before the package arrives.

How far in advance should I pre-alert?

Pre-alert as soon as you receive the tracking number from the seller. This gives us the most time to prepare for your package's arrival.
