Package Library – Save Your Parcel Details for Faster Bookings


📦 Package Library – Save Your Parcel Details for Faster Bookings



Tired of entering the same package dimensions every time you book a shipment? With the Package Library, you can save commonly used parcel sizes—including their total weight—and reuse them with just a click. It’s a simple way to save time and reduce manual errors.


🧰 What is the Package Library?


The Package Library is your personalised set of parcel templates that includes:


  • Box dimensions (Length × Width × Height)
  • Total weight (including packaging + contents)
  • A display name to help you quickly identify the package type


By storing your go-to parcel configurations here, you eliminate the need to retype details every time you ship an order.


🚀 How to Add a Package to Your Library


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

Display name (e.g. Small Box, Large Flyer Bag)

Length, Width, Height (in cm)

Weight Value (in kg – this should be the total weight, including packaging and contents)

  1. (Optional) Tick Set as default if you want this to be pre-filled when booking new shipments.
  2. Click Add Package.


📌 Note: The saved weight is used for shipments that are not connected to imported orders. If your order is imported from a store, weights from the products in your e-commerce store will be used instead.



✏️ How to Use a Saved Package When Booking


When you go to Book Shipment, you’ll see a section called Parcel Details. Here’s how to use a saved package:


  1. Under each Parcel, select from your saved packages using the dropdown (e.g. Small Box).
  2. The dimensions and weight will auto-populate.
  3. Adjust or add items as needed and proceed with the rest of your shipment.


If you’ve set a default package, these details will appear automatically—no selection needed!



✅ Why Set a Default Package?


Setting a default saves even more time by pre-filling parcel dimensions every time you book a shipment. You can change this at any time in the Package Library.


📎 Tips for Best Use


  • Create templates for all your standard shipping box sizes.
  • Match your Package Library names with internal warehouse lingo (e.g. Polybag S, Mailer L).
  • Regularly review and update weights if your packaging or items change.
  • Ensure weights and dimensions are accurate to avoid courier re-billing.
