Once you have connected Hunter Express to your ReadyToShip account, there are a number of other setting options available to you as default.
We recommend setting the default options to your most common shipment types. You can manually change any settings on a per-order basis in the carrier tab if required.
To configure your settings, go to Settings > Carriers and click on the blue cog icon of your Hunter Express carrier, then select Settings.
The first section covers the basic settings.
Description: defaults to the carrier name.
Sort Orders by: choose which order you prefer the customer orders to be displayed in from the dropdown box options. Note: Read the dedicated help article here.
Round weights to: if you wish to round your order weights to a whole number, enter those numbers here.
Merge Customer Orders: defaults to No. Change to Yes if you wish orders for the same customer to merge and ship as one. Note: The name and address must be identical for orders to merge. Read the dedicated help article here.
Delivery Instructions on Label: choose from one of the options in the drop-down, OR enter Custom Delivery Instructions. Note: text entered in this field will appear on ALL shipping labels.
Default Package Format: this is a compulsory field. You would have set this to your most common package format when connecting your carrier, but it can be changed here in future if needed.
Email Notification: defaults to Yes. Change to No if you don't wish customers to get an email notification of shipment
Notify Sales Feed Name: if you need something different to the carrier name, enter it here.
The next section covers Order Option Defaults.
Signature on Delivery: choose from the options in the dropdown. Select your preferred option, it can be changed in the order if needed. Rates shown for orders will not include extra charges that may be incurred if the receiver is not home to sign for delivery.
Delivery Address Type: choose from the options in the dropdown. Select your most common address type. It can always be changed in the order if needed.
Request Pickup: if you don't have a scheduled daily pickup time, you should select Yes so a pickup is booked when a label is created.
Additional Services: select any required additional service here, and it will be applied to every order unless changed on an individual order. Note: these services may incur an additional fee and are not included in the freight quote provided. Contact your account manager for costs.
Pickup Instructions: eg. pickup from roller door 2, or, pickup from reception. (wherever you wish the driver to go to when collecting your parcels)
Contains Dangerous Goods: defaults to No. Change to Yes if your parcels are always Dangerous Goods. Otherwise, you can edit this in the order as required. If you default this option to Yes, you must also fill in the other Dangerous Goods fields provided by selecting the options in the dropdown boxes for each.
Next, if your return address for parcels is different to the address Hunter Express has listed for your account, you should set it here. It must be a street address, not a PO Box address.
