Shipping Policies

Product Update – January 2016

Regardless of what your customers end up paying for shipping, we know how important it is to have the control you need post-order.

When it comes to processing your orders, you generally know how you want your items shipped – whether you just want the cheapest option available or whether you need to use a specific carrier or service based on the product or customer for that particular order.
