Use of Service

...

Cancel API is used to cancel a shipment before the shipment is in transit (has arrived in the value chain).

...

The cancellation applies to all items in a shipment.
The shipment will be defined as in transit from the day before desired delivery date. Shipment without desired delivery date will be in transit immediately after booking.

...

Shipments that have been canceled cannot be resumed and data about a canceled shipment will not be

...

sent to the carrier.
It is not possible to cancel a shipments in transit with this API, to stop

...

a shipment in transit contact the carrier customer service.

Successful cancellation will set eventlog API key 71, 60 or 73.
Even with successful cancelation there will be corner cases where the carrier will try to deliver/pick up the parcel, this is because the distribution can override and/or start their distribution outside of times defined by them in the system.

Since pick-up shipments (C2C/C2B) do not arrive in the value chain before they are actually picked up, more flexibility is available.
Pick-up shipments have a later cut off for cancellation, usually until 23:00 p.m. the day before pick-up. This depends on geography and carrier, contact your carrier for exact details.
Pick-up shipments can also be canceled if the pick-up attempt failed
