Bill Shipping Fees to a Customer's Account
Please note that alternate billing (receiver, third party, and collect) may not be successful while using a test API key. Not all carrier's test servers will support it as this is often tied to billing functionality. To test this, you will need to temporarily switch to a production key. Please refund generated labels via easypost.
Payment Types for Alternate Billing
Include Extra Text on Shipping Label
Extra text can be included on the shipping label using package options on the Customer Options page.
Blind and Double Blind (Drop) Shipments
Blind shipments will display the ship-to address as the ship-from address on the shipping label instead of your location address. Double blind (a.k.a. drop) shipments will display a selected third party address as the ship-from address. International double blind shipments may require an alternate carrier account that is appropriate for the country.

FAQ
How the Customs Information is Populated
International shipments require customs information to be provided. Dynamic Ship makes that process simple by using information already in your system to create the necessary documentation for a successful labelling process.
Reprint Shipping Labels using Dynamic Ship
A shipment label can be re-printed at any time without having to regenerate it from the carrier. If the shipment is still open in the package worksheet, you can click the "Carrier Label" button to re-print an existing label.
Include COD Charges with Shipping
If you want the carrier to collect payment on delivery you can use the package options to configure your COD settings.
Zebra High Quality Print
Ship Non-Regulated Hazardous Material
If a package contains hazardous materials it must be declared on the carrier label. The only hazmat setting that can be electronically submitted to the carrier is defined in the package option.
Ship with Saturday Delivery
Requesting Saturday delivery is a package option, not a separate delivery service. It will not show on the list of services offered by the carrier.
Print Bill of Lading Report
The Dynamic Ship Bill of Lading (BOL) report can be printed on the Package Worksheet after packing the shipment.

Starting in Dynamic Ship v2.2.2 for NAV (and 2.5 on Business Central) you can chain multiple shipping commands in the Package Worksheet for faster scanning.
