Bulk Quote & Shipping Management System User Guide

Step 2.2: Rows below the shipping info row, which match its Order Id (shown in Figure B), contain package details (beginning at column AI – shown in Figure C). Each of these types of rows represents an individual package. Thus, for a single-package order, the template will have two rows (one for the shipping info, and another for the package). A multi-piece order that has three packages will have four rows in the template (one for the shipping info, and three for the packages). Once you are familiarized with how to input your data, DELETE the template data.

The two or more rows that relate to one shipment (or a multi-piece shipment) MUST share the same Order Id (shown in Figure B). Rows that do not have an Order Id will be ignored by the system.

Step 3: Use the Instructions PDF and the .CSV Template to transfer your data onto the template correctly. Export your data as a CSV file.

Step 4: Import the CSV file with your shipment data by clicking “Import Orders”.

Step 5: Drag, drop, or browse for your CSV file.

Step 6: Refresh the page. If your orders do not appear again, refresh the page again.

Step 7: You can always update a specific order by clicking on a shipment (the row will turn blue when you hover on it). A window labeled, “Modify Quotation,” will pop up and you will be able to adjust the shipment’s details.

Bulk Quoting

Step 1: When ready to quote, you can either “Select All,” or select specific shipments you would like to quote at once by using the checkboxes. You can select up to 15 orders at a time.

Step 2: You can also quote a specific order by clicking “Quote”.

Step 3: In the drop down on the right, select “Quote” and then confirm with the  button to the right (shown in Figure D)

Step 4: Click on the quote to see a price breakdown.

Step 4.2: To search for a specific order, use the search bar. You can search for quotes by Order ID, shipper, recipient, or by created date in the drop down on the right of the search bar.

Creating Labels

Step 1: Either Select All, or select specific shipments to create labels for.

Step 2: Using the Bulk Action tool, in the drop down select “Create Label”.

Step 3: Click “Validate” and then “Continue”.

Step 4: A window titled “Confirm Order(s)” will pop-up after you request label(s) to be created. View the total cost in the top right.

Step 5: Please review tabs labeled “Valid Orders” and “Errors”. Quotes in the “Errors” tab failed their validation and here you can read the error message and fix your quote. For example, as shown in Figure F, if there is an error message that reads, “Phone number too long,” shorten the phone number, re-quote, and re-create the label.

Step 6: If there are any orders you don’t want to include last minute, you can press the  to remove them.

Step 7: Click “Pay”.

Printing Queue

Step 1: Click on the drop down menu next to your email and select “My Shipments”.

Step 2: Labels ready to be printed will appear under the tab “Ready,” while already downloaded labels will appear under “Printed” tab.

Step 3: To place a label back in “Ready” click the restore icon on the left (shown in Figure G).

Step 4: View your domestic and international orders via the two tabs, 🏠 & 🌎 (shown in Figure G)

Step 5: If you check “Only Print Thermal Labels,” you will exclude non-thermal documents. Non-thermal documents can include commercial invoices, for example.

Step 6: Press “Select Max” to print all of your labels.

Step 7: When printing labels for a shipment that has a commercial invoice, the commercial invoice will be generated as a second separate PDF. After pressing “Print Selected,” your label(s) and commercial invoice(s) will pop-up in two separate windows.
