Creating Shipping Items with USPS Integration

Important:

NetSuite Ship Central is NetSuite's standard shipping solution. For more information, see NetSuite Ship Central.

The Shipping Integration with FedEx, UPS, and USPS/Endicia is not available to new customers. It is available with limited support only for existing customers before they transition to NetSuite Ship Central.

For more information about transitioning to NetSuite Ship Central, including the self-service procedure, see Upgrading from Integrated Shipping to NetSuite Ship Central (SuiteAnswers ID 1015202).

Depending on business requirements, you can use the ShipStation Connector in NetSuite Connector as an alternative. For more information, see Managing the ShipStation Connector in NetSuite Connector.

For more information about selecting the best shipping solution for your needs, see Comparing NetSuite Shipping Options (SuiteAnswers ID 1046701).

USPS-integrated shipping items let you select the shipping item in the Ship Via field when you enter sales orders. When you fulfill an order, Endicia charges your account at the USPS shipping method rate.

The real-time rate quoted at the time of sale is an estimate. The charge may vary based on package size, service additions on the shipment, and account-specific discounts.

For more information, see USPS Real-Time Rates.

To create a shipping item with USPS integration:

  1. Go to Lists > Accounting > Shipping Items > New.

  2. Check the Shipping Label Integration box.

    For integrated shipping items, Endicia charges your account for the selected shipping method. Shipping Rate shows the amount charged to your customer.

    To charge customers the same amount, select the same method in USPS Real-Time Rate. Use the method selected in Shipping Label Integration.

  3. Check the Display in Web Site box to make this shipping item available on your website.

  4. On the Shipping Rate subtab, select the rate you want to charge your customer:

    • USPS Real-Time Rate - Select which real-time option you want to use for this shipping item. Use this option for USPS integrated shipping items.

      USPS enters the shipping charge when the customer completes the order. It's an estimate and may change slightly when you fulfill the order.

      For information about offering a discount rate, see Applying Discounts to USPS Shipping Rates.

    • Flat Rate - Enter the amount to charge for each order you ship.

    • By Weight:

      • Enter the amount to charge and the unit of measure.

      • Enter the increment. For example, 1, 1.5, 2.

      • Select the unit of measure: lb, oz, kg, or g.

      • To prevent partial increments, check the In Whole Increments box.

    • By Item - Enter the default shipping amount per item.

    • Percent of Total - Enter a percentage in the % field.

    • To charge shipping based on a range, select Shipping Table:

      • To charge shipping based on ranges of order totals, select Order Total

      • To charge shipping based on package-weight ranges, select Weight. Then select a unit of measurement.
