Naming your new carton:

We suggest something like Service level, Ship to Facility, Date and a Unique identifier if you are doing multiple a day. Example: U11-CarsonCA-March04-A
Next, you will select any domestic service to be the master tracking label.
Once the Carton service is selected you will then select the Close Facility. The facility should be pre determined by the carrier with the customer. It is possible for a customer to ship to multiple facilities. This would be arranged with the carrier.
Once the carton is created it will now show as an available option in the carton selection screen. Select Confirm Carton Confirmation.
If you are just selecting a previously created carton, left click on a carton from your list and once the carton is highlighted blue you would just click confirm carton selection.
After confirming the selection or creating a new carton. You will see the carton in the Service Description window. You are now ready to ship your package by clicking the "Ship" button.
