Drop Shipping

Drop shipping is when your firm ships on behalf of others.  There are two main models for this kind of business:

Billed to Your Account

Shipping charges are billed to your shipping account. But you want the From information on the label to reflect the firm on whose behalf you are shipping. Meet this need with ShipRush Profiles.  Simply create a profile for each needed From address block.

Billed to Customer Accounts

In this model, shipping charges are billed directly to customer shipping accounts.  ShipRush allows this to be handled two ways.  Pick the method best for you.

Third Party Billing

ShipRush maintains a list of recently used third party billing accounts. Select Third Party Billing and press the lookup button . This will list recently used third party billing information.

Direct Billing

If your customers allow it, their shipper information can be added directly to your ShipRush system to use as Ship From information. To use this option, go into Settings and press Add Account.  Enter the account information. This way you can have an entire kit of From information that sets the label and billing account in one step.

The new account(s) will be listed in the From list on the shipping form.

Note that the From address should always reflect the physical address where the shipment originates. This is important in case of lost, damaged, or undeliverable shipments. The company and contact information can be set to reflect the party on whose behalf the shipment is sent.
