Thanks for the information Tom. Yes i realize that too they do not use our own shipping account so i believe they probably get big discounts since they use their own accounts to ship on behalf of everybody's orders. However, as long as shipping from their UK warehouse to European countries (which include the original…

Someone asked for us to list our fulfillment services. It varies based on the item and the location of the vendor. If the vendor is close and the items are light weight, then we keep the items in our warehouse. If the vendor is far away and has a large minimum, we go searching for a fulfillment warehouse in the same town.…

Update... Has anyone in this group tried shipwire?

in Shipwire - NetSuite Fulfillment Services Comment by Tom Dalton Sep 4, 2008 8:25PM

Thanks Carl. That would work, except that many of our orders have multiple fulfiments from multiple vendors. Then this work flow wouldn't work. We still have the problem where one email is generated for each and every tracking number on a fulfillment. The customers don't seem to mind, but it is somewhat unprofessional…

OK, lets make it $250.

I'm still not able to send out tracking mumblers after orders ship. It worked, but sent out a separate email for each tracking number. So, a person with a four package order would get four emails and each email would have all four tracking numbers. That was using the {trackingnumbers} field. I also tried {results} instead…

Our UPS tracking numbers email are auto-generated based on a saved search. The search criteria = Type = Item Fulfillment Tracking Number = not empty Date Created = on or after thirty days ago Date Last Modified = 1 days ago Status = Item Fulfillment:Shipped Location = Bloomington Warehouse Ship Via = none of CUSTOMER PICK…

This is one of those features that is POPULAR enough that NS should skip making us all re-invent the wheel with mixed results and MUCH frustration and wasted time. They should just give us a simple preference page for auto-sent tracking emails and handle the set-up for us. The preferences would ask us to set what shipping…

I tried using {linkedtrackingnumbers} and I get "ERROR: Field Not Found", so we switched it back to {trackingnumbers}. The only "real" remaining issue is that it emails a separate email for each tracking number (even though each email lists all tracking numbers for that order). So, a TEN PACKAGE order gets TEN fulfillment…

We have been using the saved search method of sending out tracking numbers for about a year. I do have one issue. Why doesn't it attach the sent "tracking number email" to the customers record under "general>messages" or even the messages/history area on the fulfillment or the sales order? All other NS generated emails are…

Jeff, what is the "Account = is Cost of Goods Sold" for? Doesn't "Type=Item Fulfillment" narrow it down enough? -Tom PS: I see a lot of uses for this feature and the NS help is hard to understand. I think I'll start a thread called "100 Ways to Use Scheduled Emails of Transaction Searches" so people can post more of these…

in Fulfillment email Comment by Tom Dalton Jun 18, 2008 9:57PM

Does anyone know of a way to make it send only one email per customer (even if they have two tracking numbers on one fulfillment)?

in Fulfillment email Comment by Tom Dalton Nov 15, 2011 11:26AM

My hope would be when people come up with good solutions using saved search e-mail alerts they bundle them up and make them available to others. Thanks, -e I wouldn't feel comfortable installing other user's bundles. I don't have time or the knowledge to reverse engineer what they have done and the bundle could have…

Has anyone made the UPS tracking number clickable? Looking at UPS.com and NS tracking links, it looks like you would need one of these URLs... //system.netsuite.com/app/common/shipping/packagetracker.nl?type=ups&InquiryNumber=XXXXXXXXXX or //wwwapps.ups.com/WebTracking/processInputRequest?InquiryNumber1=…

Somewhere else, they said to use "main line=true" to stop double-entries on results. T

in Fulfillment email Comment by Tom Dalton Jun 18, 2008 10:39PM

Is there a way to specify that it ONLY sends the fulfilment email IF the tracking number field is NOT empty? Sometimes we will fulfill an order without a tracking number (like when an order is drop-shiped by a vendor that doesn't provide tracking info) and in those cases ...we want it to skip the fulfillment email. -Tom

in Fulfillment email Comment by Tom Dalton Jun 16, 2008 5:01PM

We don't have a script writer on staff. Maybe a standard email notification "bundle" will become available from NetSuite in the suitescript repository. T

in Fulfillment email Comment by Tom Dalton Dec 7, 2009 5:58PM

FedEx separates Home deliveries from business deliveries (they are two completely different shipping methods). So, using FedEx in a freight shipping calculation would give us a tool that wouldn't work all of out customers because we have a mix of address types in our account. We also couldn't use UPS because if you click…

in Has anyone been ablet to Integrate with LTL Common Carrier Freight Companies? Comment by Tom Dalton Apr 16, 2011 2:23AM

deisouss, Two more questions. 1. In your main shipping preferences (setup>accounting>shipping>preferences), do you have it set to use "list rates" or "Negotiated rates"? 2. In your main FedEx account preferences (setup>accounting>shipping>preferences), do you have it set to use "residential" rates? -Tom

The third part companies only work with the back-office aspect of LTL. The last I checked, neither OzLink or PaceJet had customer facing LTL pricing for your webstore/cart. -Tom

Ozlink is very expensive if the carrier has a transparent link you can build a script in Netsuite that will use the shipping zip code and weight. Send it to the carrier website and receive back quote ID and accurate quote amount. Each item would also need a custom variable added for its "shipping class". We're not going to…

As a "work around" (until real time Freight rates are available in the cart) has anyone used a shipping method called something like "Shipping cost to be determined" and have it only available for shipments over 500 lbs and have it calculate $0.00 for the shipping cost? We tried this, but it messed up the "shipping…

in Has anyone been ablet to Integrate with LTL Common Carrier Freight Companies? Comment by Tom Dalton Apr 22, 2008 11:15PM

We also want this feature. If OzLink added it, I'd use their services. We need it in the cart.. not just the back office. We ship about 10% of our orders by LTL. We currently have NS calculate at something like $.41 per lb. It is OK with some orders and WAY off on others. It is a bad solution. I'm sure some customers see…

in Has anyone been ablet to Integrate with LTL Common Carrier Freight Companies? Comment by Tom Dalton Apr 16, 2008 11:49PM

Yea, that almost works for us and in some cases it does. It works for the posts, but not our sign stands. Unfortunately, we use a different box depending on the quantity ordered. Your suggestion would work IF we could specify... 1 unit, then use box A 2 units, then use box B 3 units, then use box C ...then NetSuite would…

in How can we stop NetSuite from putting too much weight into one box?? Comment by Tom Dalton Apr 5, 2008 9:30PM

Thanks for the tip. I can't wait to try it. We use UPS, so i'll be using UPS ground rates as my starting point. One thing that might throw it off for us is that we use multiple locations and we've assigned boxes to about 30% of our items (especially the larger ones). I'll report back for anyone else interested in this…
