Multi-Package Shipping through Shipbridge

Overview 

With Shipbridge multi-package shipping, you can divide an order into multiple packages and shipping labels in a simple and streamlined process. By adding packages and dragging and dropping items, you can distribute the shipping contents into the desired packaging arrangements.

This feature of Shipbridge allows you to ship multiple packages in a single shipment. That way, you can save time and money when shipping by combining multiple packages into a single shipment. It also helps reduce the cost of shipping and minimize the number of packages that need to be processed. 

Ship in Multiple Packages

An order with multiple items may need to be shipped in multiple packages. You can add packages to your order in Shipbridge. This can be done from the Main Order Grid by right-clicking on the order and selecting Edit Packages. If you use Scan and Ship, see the following steps:

   4. Add packages by clicking on the green Add icon at the top right corner of the Edit Package window.
   5. Move Items – Split your items into separate packages by dragging and dropping them into the appropriate package.
