Changing your Category settings

CitizenShipper allows you to take on almost any kind of shipment – from pets to heavy equipment to household moves.

In most cases, however, you'll only be interested in shipping specific types of item. To change this setting, go to your Category settings page. Here's what you'll see:

Here's how these settings impact your experience on the CitizenShipper platform:

• We filter shipments so that you're only notified of those belonging to the categories you tick here.
• On the Recommended tab of your home page, only the ticked categories will be visible.
• If you late decide you're interested in additional categories, just visit the Category Settings page, tick a new category, and you're all set.

Please make sure to also check out your Notification settings, choosing when and how you'll be notified of a shipment that appears within your selected categories (typically by email or text message).
