Service Options

 

Additional Protection

This option enables the cost of additional protection (i.e. shipping insurance). You can select how to apply the additional protection : divide the amount among all packages in the shipment, or apply the amount to every package. Enter the Base Amount and the fee for this option will display in the upper right corner.

 

 

 

Handling Fee

You can set how to apply the Handling Fee to the shipment :

Handling Fee Type

 

Base Amount

The base amount is automatically calculated and can be added to or subtracted from the Applied Amount by clicking the Add or Subtract radio buttons.

 

Applied Amount

This is the handling fee that will be charged. The applied amount only displays when one or more freight rules have been used to modify the handling fee.

 

Handling Fee Freight Rules

When Package or Shipment Handling Fee rules have been set up for DHL and the conditions of a rule has been met, the Handling Fee check box is automatically enabled on Ship screen. For some shipments, you may not want to charge a handling fee even if handling fee rules apply.

To allow the user to de-select the Handling Fee option when you have freight rules configured, you can set up a rule that uses the Handling Fee check box as a condition (checked or unchecked). So you can set up the rule to say that if the Handling Fee option is unchecked under options, don't apply a handling fee.
