Multi-piece shipments, also known as MPS, combine multiple packages under one tracking number. If a group of packages needs to be shipped to the same address, various packages will be integrated under the shipping label and share the tracking number. This can save the merchant's time and effort, and cost. MPS facilitates the merchant to check the destination of multiple packages through the tracking number.
The multi-piece shipment feature is widely used. As a merchant, when you need to pack different packages for the same customer, you can combine this customer’s packages under the same tracking number through the MPS feature. Likewise, if you are an individual user and need to send multiple packages to the same address, MPS can help you group these packages.
Please note that when you use the MPS feature, all packages must be shipped simultaneously. If you send a group of packages first and then send the rest of them later, additional charges will be applied to the packages sent later.
UPS and FedEx offer Multi-piece shipments. You can add your UPS and FedEx accounts to the ShipSaving system to use them directly on ShipSaving. Click on Settings-Integration, then go to Carriers, find the “Connect Your Carrier” button, and click on it.
The strength of MPS is to manage a bunch of packages going to the same address with a single tracking number. This allows companies to save time and management costs because the company does not need to spend a lot of time on shipping management to track where every package goes.
MPS reduces the cost of generating AWB labels for each package in shipment, saving shipping costs.
Obviously, with MPS, people can check a bunch of packages’ status via one tracking number. This is because MPS treats a shipment as a whole rather than separate and distinct packages.
