Shipping Methods
Shipping Methods determine the basis for how to charge for shipping. The following is an explanation of the available methods. We need to determine the ship method before setting up our Ship Via's. Ship Via's are the various ways your product are delivered. (FedEx, UPS, USPS, Will-Call, etc.) Each Ship Via needs to have a shipping method associated with it. If you are only using weight to determine shipping, just indicate that. Shipping Methods can be used with multiple Ship Via's. Please keep this in mind when communicating the method you are choosing to us. Once you have determined the methods you will need for your shipping please indicate it on this Ticket.
Available Shipping Methods
- Weight
- Price
- Item Count
- Not Used
- Custom (PrimeDownline only)

As previously described, Ship Via's specify different ways products are delivered to your customers .For example, It can be as generic as (overnight, 2 day express or ground) or as specific as (Fedex Overnight, UPS 3 day, or USPS Priority). Whatever best applies to your company. Each shipment method is linked to a freight calculation method for freight charge calculation.
