# Use self-managed shipping for Azure Data Box in the Azure portal
1515

16-
This article describes self-managed shipping tasks to order, pickup, and drop off of an Azure Data Box device. You can manage the Data Box device using the Azure portal. You have the option of choosing a point of contact from your organization, or use any carrier of your choice to pick up the Azure Data Box device from a datacenter and also return the device back to the datacenter. It is important that you follow the datacenter's security procedures as sign-off is required at particular points between pickup and drop-off. At pickup and drop-off, you, or your point of contact will be assigned an authorization code. This authorization code is needed during device pickup and drop-off at the datacenter.
