Generate Quotes for a Single Shipment

Get shipping quotes for a shipment by entering package details, selecting the warehouse and shipping preferences, and comparing available services before you create the shipment.

 

Steps to get shipping quotes

1. Open the shipping quote workflow

Go to the area in Shiplo where you can create or prepare a shipment and start the process for getting shipping quotes.

2. Select the warehouse

Choose the warehouse or shipping origin for the package. The Scribe summary specifically mentions selecting warehouses as part of the quoting flow. 

3. Enter shipment details

Add the shipment information needed to calculate the quote. This typically includes delivery details and package information. The Scribe confirms that entering shipment details is part of this workflow. 

4. Add package details

Enter the package details required for quote calculation. This helps Shiplo return services that match the shipment requirements.

5. Review shipping preferences

If the workflow includes service or delivery preferences, review them before requesting quotes. This helps make the quote results more relevant to your shipping needs.

6. Generate shipping quotes

Request quotes once the warehouse and shipment details are complete. Shiplo then returns available shipping services for the shipment based on the information you entered. This is the core purpose of the workflow described in the Scribe. 

7. Compare available services

Review the available shipping options and compare them based on your business needs, such as service type, delivery expectation, or shipping cost.

8. Choose the best option

Select the shipping service that works best for the shipment. The Scribe summary explicitly frames the workflow as helping users choose the best services for their needs. 

9. Continue with shipment creation

After choosing a quote, continue the shipment workflow using the selected service.

 

What happens next

After getting a shipping quote, you can usually move on to:

  • selecting the preferred shipping service

  • completing shipment setup

  • generating a shipping label

  • tracking the shipment after it is created

 

Tips for a smoother quoting workflow

  • Confirm the correct warehouse before requesting quotes.

  • Double-check package details so the quote reflects the shipment accurately.

  • Review multiple shipping options before choosing a service.

  • Use quotes to compare services before creating the final shipment.
