How to set up shipping?

edited Jun 2, 2025 2:42PM in Ask A Guru 12 comments

HI

I am looking at the help documents, Suiteanswers, etc and am getting a bit confused over what is involved in setting up shipping in an account.

  1. Under Set Up>Accounting>Shipping, is this supposed to be used for USA based NetSuite accounts or subsidiaries only?

The carrier options only reference USA based carriers.


2 Is a 'Shipping Item' the same thing as a 'shipping method'?

3 When would you use a regular item, such as a charge or service, as opposed to a shipping item?

for example:

i.) Freight. would you set that up as a "service for purchase" or would you set that up as a shipping item? What is the difference?

Howdy, Stranger!
