Shipping Zones & Methods

Shipping Rates apply for all daily orders placed in the POS and website, and Club Remix with specific settings applied.

• Rates can be defined by zone and by ship method within each zone.
• Rate tables are available for wine and merchandise products, which is controlled by the root category assigned to a product. 

Shipping Zones are geographical regions; defined by all states within the region.

• Each state can only be in ONE zone at any time, and cannot be split between zones.

• Within each zone, you may create several shipping methods. (i.e. overnight, 2-day, ground). 

  Use the non-shipping zone to assign states that are not eligible for shipments. 

• Each shipping method identifies the fulfillment provider, the ship code and the ship method.

  Use standard codes and methods that are compatible with your fulfillment house (and ShipCompliant, if applicable).

• Shipping rates may be defined by weight or by number of units.

  Most products tables are set up using a default weight of 3 lbs per bottle.

• Ranges of ship rates typically are: 0lbs, 3lbs, 6lbs, 9lbs, etc.; which respectively would be for 1 bottle, 2 bottles, 3 bottles, etc..
• For orders more than 36lbs (12 bottles) the rates will loop back through the rates to reach the total.
• Unique shipping zones and rates may be developed for each product category; wine and merchandise, separately. Shipping Zones, Methods and Rates
