NAME
WebService::Shippo::CarrierAccount - Manifest collection class
VERSION
version 0.0.21
DESCRIPTION
Manifests are close-outs of shipping labels of a certain day. Some carriers require manifests to properly process the shipments.
The following carriers require manifests:
DHL Express purchased through Shippo
If you use Shippo's DHL Express rates, you need to manifest ("close-out") your shipments each day before submitting them to the carrier. If you don't close-out a shipment, it might not be processed at all by DHL Express.
USPS scan form
The USPS allows you to create "scan forms", which also is a Manifest. By creating scan forms, the USPS doesn't need to scan each of your packages individually and all tracking codes are updated immediately.
Canada Post Contract customers
Contract customers that generally ship more than 50 shipments a day will need to create manifests to transmit the shipments for billing, for a given day. Contract customers that ship less than 50 daily can generally skip the manifest requirement, but are encouraged to verify with Canada Post. If a contract customer doesn't close out a shipment day by creating a manifest, Canada Post may bill for & transmit the shipments on customer's behalf.
Note: You can't refund shipments after they have been closed-out.
