Weight Override
When an item’s weight is missing, Shipster prompts you right away to enter the correct value, saving you the headache of tracking down dispatch errors later.

Additional Labels
Thermal printers aren’t just for addresses. Print processing labels right at dispatch to flag shipments as NEXT DAY, STORE DELIVERY, or HOLD UNTIL MONDAY, making sorting a breeze for your team.

Store Collection
Assign a unique service code for store deliveries, and Shipster will automatically update the shipping address and print a Collect in Store label, keeping your shipping bench running smoothly.

Multiple Languages Send out shipping documents in the language of your parcel’s destination. Many clients delight their customers with invoices in German, French, Spanish, Polish, Dutch, and more.

Custom Documentation – Multiple Design Versions Beyond language options, you can showcase your brand with custom document designs, logos, and fonts. Print branded invoices or marketing materials with every order, even if you ship for multiple brands.

Courier-Assigned PC or Printer Assign each PC or printer to a specific courier for smoother ground operations. Add a splash of colour with different labels, making key shipments instantly recognisable at a glance.


There you have it—the hottest shipping rules of 2019. Are you sending parcels to influencers, juggling multiple brands, or keeping costs in check with smart weight management? Reach out to Shipster support to try these custom rules on your own setup.
