Some freight items are large and ship in their own crate. For items that fall into this category there are a few more configuration changes that need to be made in addition to the basic freight item explained above. On the shipping tab of the item editor select the ship separately checkbox and then configure the additional options as shown below. In this example we are going to ship a 10 foot ladder that is in a crate.
Notice that when the ship separately box is checked an additional options section appears. Although the item itself is configured as 120" x 36" x 36" we are specifying that the box this ships in is 126" x 36" x 36". The box dimensions are the figures that will be communicated to FreightQuote.com. The create itself also ways an additional 50 lbs. Finally we select the package special type. In this case we are dealing with a crate. It is critical to select one of the pallets or create for the special type when dealing with FreightQuote.com shipments.
