# Create an outbound shipment
### Step 1 — Select your products
From the **Inventory** page, check the boxes next to the products you want to retrieve, then click **"Create removal order"**.
> 💡 You can select one or multiple products at once. The quantities will be pre-filled with your full available stock — you can adjust them in the next step.
***
### Step 2 — Select how you would like to receive your stock
Choose one of two options:
#### **Option A — Ship to delivery address**
Your stock is shipped to your configured return address by one of our carriers.
> To set or update your return address, go to your account settings: [shipper.linkolis.com → Shipper returns address](https://www.shipper.linkolis.com/#/user-info/return)
> ⚠️ Outbound shipments are sent **without insurance**, even if you have default insurance enabled on your account. This setting does not apply to outbounds.
#### **Option B — I will pick up the stock myself**
You or your carrier partner come to collect the outbound directly at our warehouse.
Once your outbound is ready, Linkolis will send you an **email with reception documents attached**. You must **print these documents** and present them upon arrival — without them, the outbound cannot be released, whether you or your carrier comes to collect.
***
### Step 3 — Add products
All products you selected from Inventory appear here with their quantities pre-filled.
| Field | Description |
| ------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| SKU | Your product identifier |
| Product name | Name of the product |
| Available quantity | Editable — adjust to retrieve part or all of your available stock. Cannot exceed the available stock shown in the Inventory page. |
| Damaged quantity | Editable — enter the quantity of damaged stock you wish to retrieve. Cannot exceed the damaged stock shown in the Inventory page. |
You can also import a product list using the Excel or CSV template available on the page (**"Get the template"** → **"Import a file"**).
> 💡 You can retrieve available stock, damaged stock, or both in the same outbound. At least one quantity must be filled in per product line.
Once ready, click **"Create Outbound"**.
