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.

  • Ship Separately Box Width

  • Ship Separately Package Special Type
    Attached at the bottom of this tutorial is an Excel Template that you can download and use to update your settings.  The template shows how the two items from this tutorial would be configured with the batch item import.
