When delivering bulk shipments with a consolidated customs invoice internationally, there's a feature in Merchant Center called Bulk Shipments.
This feature requires the configuration of specific services in nShift, as well as the activation of the Bulk Shipments feature in Merchant Center, including special configuration.
Bulk Shipment enables the booking of one or several delivered batches into a consolidated bulk shipment, which will then have shared shipping documents: one pallet label, a consolidated customs declaration, and a waybill.
Conditions for batches to be included in bulk:
- All orders in the batch should be addressed to the same recipient country.
- All shipping methods included in the batch should be valid for bulk shipping.
- Only a single common shipping provider can be included in the batch, e.g., only Bring or Postnord.
- All products included in the batches for bulk must have the following fields filled in:
- Intrastat code
- Country of origin
To deliver the Bulk Shipment:
- Go to Warehouse (WMS) and click on Bulk shipments.
- Here, any existing bulk shipments are listed. Click on "Create bulk shipment" to start
Make your batch selection in the next step.
- Here, you select the batches that should be included by checking the box in the first column. The example below only has one batch to choose from, but there could be more if multiple batches that meet the bulk conditions have been picked and delivered.
- Click on "Create bulk shipment" to proceed
- Now, a new bulk shipment is being created, and you will return to the list of bulk shipments where the newly created one will be at the top. The documents are available for download in the last column.
