How to add a service to shipping when the shipper is under 'none'

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

One of our stores does a lot of shipping orders, however they aren't always going to a shipper to be shipped. Sometimes they are being delivered by our store to a boat or a home. I would like to make it so that when they don't select a shipping company it still rings up under Shipping&Handling in our system. Right now if they don't select a carrier our accounting department has to hunt down why their sheets don't balance. How can I edit the 'none' category. If I have to create a new carrier, is there a way to make it the default so as soon as they hit shipping it defaults to that 'carrier' unless they change it? Thank you!

    No,  You can not change the default entry, and you would need to add a new shipper and select each time.

    If an item isn't being shipped using a physical carrier with a cost associated with it, would that not be classified as a transfer?

    For example transfer Item X "Out" (from inventory) to location Y "IN" (home or a boat) + delivery (cost of delivery) = Z  

    Just create a new line item called "delivery" with an associated cost. Any item not being physically shipped can be transferred to + delivery= no more shipping confusion. If you add more than one shipping carrier, I believe like a printer you will always need to choose one, there is no method to default.  If the cost of delivery however is a line item and not a shipper? That may be a work around to keep the associated delivery cost separate from an actual shipping cost, so things balance for you. (you may also be able to configure a custom button at that one store). Any transaction plus that button=delivery not shipping. Just a thought.
