Enter the following information:
Item Quantity: Number of inventory items;
Packaging: Name of the packaging (Big Box, Small Box, New Crate, Medium Barrel, etc.); Dimensions: Length, Width, and Height as defined in the Packaging field is simply for the packaging, i.e. a ”Big Box” is 20” x 20” x 20”. Packaging weight is also listed, i.e. a Big Box has a weight of 1.25 lbs.
Packaging Qty: Number of packages into which item quantities should be packed; Note that when you enter the packaging quantity and press Tab to get to the next field, StarShip will attempt to calculate the Total Weight field for you.
Total Weight: Weight of total package quantity; that is, the weight is of the Items and Packaging combined. So you would say that 20 items in 2 Big Boxes is 10 lbs. + 2.50 lbs = 12.50 lbs. You must enter the packaging weight: if the weight is not correct the shipment might get audited by the carrier and that takes extra time for additional fees. As mentioned for the Packaging Qty field, StarShip will calculate this value for you. You can also manually edit this field.
Click OK. A dialog box will appear, asking if the value it calculated for the Total Weight field is correct. If this value is correct, click OK. If not, click No and you can return to the previous dialog to change the Total Weight field.
