    • Name: used to identify the saved package on the READY TO SHIP page from the Packaging drop-down menu.

    • Length/Width/Height: some carrier services and rates require dimensions. Learn how to measure your packages.

    • Add to Weight: optional. This field is for the weight that will be added, in addition to package weight, such as the weight that could be added by your packaging materials (bubble wrap, wrapping paper).

    • Override Weight: optional. This field sets the overall weight of the package. This is the non-editable weight that will be assigned as the shipment weight.

    • Notes: optional. Will be displayed on the package setup page under the "Notes" heading.

  5. Select Save once you finish configuring the package settings.

    The Save button is highlighted

The package will now be shown in the main package setup window. You are able to edit and delete any saved packages, using the icons under the "Actions" heading.
