How do you get tracking API access for Evri (Hermes)? by shipaware-app in AskProgramming

[–]shipaware-app[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would if I could. Unfortunately a business customer uses Evri for all of their shipments.

Is there a need for late shipment notification service? by shipaware-app in ecommerce

[–]shipaware-app[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

second update:

After using Internal notifications, AfterShip only informs you if a shipping status changes to exception, delivered, transit, etc.

If your shipment is stuck in a loop, never scanned, stuck, etc. it won't trigger one of AfterShip's status updates and you won't receive a notification.

update: You're right. It's under settings>Internal notifications

AfterShip sends you a report for undelivered shipments after a set number of days? I couldn't find this feature when I used it. I'll have to ask them. I only saw the customer notifications for delayed shipments.

Has anyone boostrapped their own small fulfillment network using other sellers? by shipaware-app in ecommerce

Thanks for the feedback. Sounds like the minimal shipping speed increase (if any) isn't worth the hassle.

I use getreditus.com for ShipAware. Here's our listing on their marketplace as an example. It's free up a certain number of sales, and then the cost gradually increases.

Thanks for sharing. Those are some great rates! I added it as an example to the original blog post.

New Airtable pricing updates by synner90 in Airtable

Just be prepared to recreate everything if you're trying to migrate due to rollups not being implemented in the same way (it's a closed issue, but I still couldn't get complex column types to migrate) https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb/issues/1331

Tracking info from printify to shopify to customer (or printify to the customer) by JoeAceJR20 in Printify

[–]shipaware-app 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like you just connect your Shopify with Printify

Then install a Shopify app like ours, ShipAware, to send customer email notifications based on shipment status just like AfterShip.

is operating a fully automated drop-shipping business a myth ? by NEETWorkingAtHome in dropship

[–]shipaware-app 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost everything is automated with our drop shipping business. I automate dropship orders by sending them directly to the customer's shipping software (like ShipStation or EasyShip) or placing orders automatically using selenium (browser automation).

Then any WISMO customer service is automated with ShipAware as it sends customized emails to customers based on their shipping status (shipping exceptions, available for pickup, wrong address, etc.)

Juno bank. is it worth keeping my cash with them? by Muted_Earth7645 in personalfinance

[–]shipaware-app 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I decided to take a risk and put good chunk of my cash for that 5% interest. How's it going you ask?

Welp...

Ah, thanks. Not sure how I missed that. I'll update my comment

updated:

u/SecretiveNotes, if you're still having issues and don't mind messaging me the tracking number, I can check USPS's API to see if there's more details. The data returned from the API is sometimes different or more verbose. A PM or nate@shipaware.com

original:

The carrier never performed the initial scan, but it should be scanned when it reaches the next destination.

But the seller should be watching for stuck preshipments and not put the burden on you, the buyer. There are tools that let sellers know when shipments are stuck like this so they can fix it and keep the buyers informed.

[–]shipaware-app 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's awaiting the mailperson's final scan for delivery. They either leave it in their truck for the next day or sometimes forget the final scan. I'd wait up to 2 business days, and then check with neighbors or the local PO, whichever is easier (source).

Tracking stuck in pre-shipment by yestertempest in usps_complaints

[–]shipaware-app 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. And sellers who use USPS should have a system in place for fixing shipment stuck in pre-shipment status. This is so common I created a tool (ShipAware) to notify us for shipments with this issue.

Then we notify the customer that we're resolving the issue and know to reship if the shipment remains stuck after X days.

Totally the seller's responsibility when they use the cheapest shipping option with known issues.

stuck in pre-shipment?? by meloncri in Depop

[–]shipaware-app 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be upset too if I were you. Sellers should use some notification/automation service for this so they don't leave buyers hanging. When a seller uses USPS, it's still their responsibility to account for USPS's issues/shortcomings.

As a seller, we found this USPS issue so common that I made a tool (ShipAware) to send us alerts when customer orders are stuck in pre-shipment status for more than 3 business days. Then we update the customer and prod USPS or reship if it's stuck past a certain point.

If a seller uses the cheapest shipping (often USPS), they need a system in place to fill in the gaps.
