How to add multiple parcels to an order

Add more than one parcel to an order when the shipment needs to be split across multiple parcels.

There are two ways to add multiple parcels to an order in Bob Go, depending on whether you want to prepare the fulfillment details in advance or fulfill the order immediately.

In both methods, you can either add parcels one at a time or use the bulk parcel option when working with larger quantities.

  2. Click the pencil icon next to Fulfillment details.
  3. In the Fulfillment information window, scroll to the Parcels section.
  4. Choose how you want to add parcels:
    • Select + Add another parcel to add parcels one by one.
    • Select Add bulk parcels if you need to add many parcels at once.
  5. If you use Add bulk parcels, choose the Parcel type, enter the Quantity, and click Add parcels.
  6. Review and update the parcel information where needed, including dimensions, weight, category and reference number.
  7. Click Get rates and select the preferred shipping rate when you are ready to continue.
