Multiple Parcels
We currently only support shipments with multiple parcels when shipping from United States, Hong Kong, United Kingdom, Singapore and Australia.
Calculating Dimensions and Total Weight
If a parcel's
total_actual_weight
is provided, it will prevail over the sum of the items' weights. If not provided, the items' weights are mandatory and will be used to calculate the total package dimensions.Likewise, if the
box
object is provided, its dimensions will prevail over all individual items' dimensions. If a box isn't specified, item dimensions are mandatory and we will used to determine the best box for the parcel.Note: If the shipment contains an item with batteries,
item.actual_weight
is mandatory regardless of whethertotal_actual_weight
is provided. This is because couriers require more accurate information on an item-level when shipping dangerous goods.
