Multi-piece shipment

Shipments with multiple packages sent to the same destination can be grouped together in a multi-piece shipment to save money.

Multi-piece packages/parcels in a single shipment may receive timeouts at certain thresholds based on the carrier. Currently requesting rates for 5 or more packages/parcels in a single shipment may result in timeouts for UPS. Additionally, sending more than 12 parcels within one shipment for FedEx may result in a timeout. USPS does not support multi-piece packages/parcels in a single shipment at this time.

How to create a multi-piece shipment

To create a multi-piece shipment, simply add a list of Parcel objects to the parcels field in a Shipment. Generating rates and creating transactions works the exact same way as with normal shipments. The limit on the number of parcels depends on each carrier's restrictions.

The Shipment request content should look like:

How to retrieve labels for each package

You can purchase a multi-piece shipping rate by POSTing the Rate object_id to the Transaction endpoint as usual. A separate transaction will be created for each parcel.

You can also create multi-piece shipments in one API call. Check out our tutorial for single label call creation for more details.

The POST request returns the master Transaction object in the response. To get labels for all the parcels in the Shipment you need to filter for each parcel transaction.

  1. The Transaction response after you've purchased the rate provides you with the master  tracking_number of the entire Shipment and the  label_url  for the first parcel of the Shipment. As an example,  this label  has the master tracking number on it incl. information about the status of the entire multi-piece shipment.
  2. To retrieve labels for the rest of the parcels in the Shipment, you need to make another GET request to the Transaction endpoint with the Rate  object_id  as the query parameter. These sample labels  have both the master tracking number on it as well as their own parcel-specific tracking number.

Here's an example request:

Copy
Copied
var shippo = require('shippo')('<API_Token>');

shippo.transaction.list({
    "rate": "cf6fea899f1848b494d9568e8266e076"
}, function(transactions) {
    // asynchronously called
});

The API will respond with a JSON serialized list of the transactions that belong to this Rate. Each of these transactions belongs to exactly one parcel of the multi-piece shipment. Each transaction has a unique tracking_number and label_url field for it's associated parcel.

If you have more than 5 transactions that belong to the Rate, the response will be paginated.

You can modify your request to increase the number of transactions per page.

Example:

Copy

https://api.goshippo.com/transactions/?results=10&rate=ee81fab0372e419ab52245c8952ccaeb

Or you can retrieve each page of the response listed in the 'next' parameter.

Multi-piece shipping label references

Some carriers support adding your own reference to a shipping label. For more information about support for multi-piece label reference support, review our Carrier reference fields guide.

Parcel-level insurance

You can also purchase insurance for each package of the multi-piece shipment. This can be done through the extras attribute when creating your Parcel object within the Shipment request. Here is a sample request for a Shipment with different insurance amounts for each Parcel.

Handling shipment-level and parcel-level insurance

  • If both shipment-level and parcel-level insurance are specified, the parcel-level insurance will take precedence. Parcels without parcel-level insurance will have the shipment-level insurance amount applied to that parcel.
  • If only shipment-level insurance is specified, then the shipment insurance amount will be applied to  each parcel  -- not divide amongst parcels.

Parcel-level Collect on Delivery

UPS offer Collect on Delivery (COD) for individual parcels in a multi-piece shipment. You can specific your COD preference in the extras attribute of the Parcel object when creating your Shipment.
