📦 Package Library – Save Your Parcel Details for Faster Bookings

If you regularly ship the same type of parcel, the Package Library lets you save a packaging template so you don’t have to enter the same details every time you book a shipment.

This is especially useful for merchants who frequently ship soft goods (like apparel) in flyer bags under 2.5kg, where you often only need to enter the parcel weight.

Using a saved package template helps you book shipments faster and avoid manual errors.

🧰 What is the Package Library?

The Package Library is your personalised set of parcel templates that stores your most common shipment configurations.

Each template includes:

• Display name to identify the package
• Product type
• • Soft materials / fabric / apparel
  • Hard edged / bulky goods
• Package type
• • Flyerbag ≤ 2.5kg
  • Flyerbag
  • Box
• Dimensions (if required)
• Default package option (optional)

Once saved, these templates can be reused whenever you book a shipment.

🚀 How to Add a Package to Your Library

1. Navigate to Settings → Shipping → Package Library in the left-hand menu.
2. Click Add New Package.
3. Fill in the following details:

Display name

Example:

• Apparel Flyerbag
• Small Box
• Soft Goods Pak

Product type

Choose the type of goods usually packed in this parcel.

• Soft materials / fabric / apparel
• Hard edged / bulky goods

Package type

Select the packaging used:

• Flyerbag ≤ 2.5kg
• Flyerbag
• Box

Dimensions

Enter the parcel dimensions if required.

Note:

• Flyerbag ≤ 2.5kg with soft goods usually only requires weight when booking shipments.
• Boxes and larger flyerbags require dimensions for accurate shipping rates.

Set as default (optional)

Tick Set as default if you want this template to automatically load when booking new shipments.

4. Click Add Package.

Your template will now appear in your Package Library.

✏️ How to Use a Saved Package When Booking

When you go to Book Shipment, you will see the Parcel Details section.

To use a saved template:

1. Under each parcel, choose a template from the saved packages dropdown.
2. The product type and package type will automatically populate.
3. Enter the parcel weight (and dimensions if required).
4. Continue with the rest of your booking.

If you have set a default package, it will load automatically when you start a new shipment.

⚖️ Weight vs Dimensions

Couriers calculate shipping costs based on either:

• Actual weight, or
• Volumetric weight (parcel size)

Providing accurate parcel details helps avoid carrier adjustments after scanning.

When only weight is required

You usually only need to enter weight when shipping:

• Soft goods
• In a Flyerbag ≤ 2.5kg
• Where the parcel is not bulky

When dimensions are required

Dimensions must be provided when shipping:

• Boxes
• Flyerbags over 2.5kg
• Hard or bulky items

✅ Why Set a Default Package?

Setting a default package template allows you to:

• Automatically load your most common parcel setup
• Book shipments faster
• Reduce repetitive data entry

You can change or remove your default package at any time in the Package Library.

📎 Tips for Best Use

• Create templates for your most common packaging setups.
• Use clear names like “Apparel Flyerbag” or “Small Box 30×20×10”.
• Ensure weights and dimensions are accurate to avoid carrier adjustments after scanning.
• Review your templates if your packaging or products change.
