Remarks

Generating a shipping label can be done by calling the GetPackageLabel method. You will need to specify the Packages details, the Canada Post ServiceType to be used for shipping the package, the origin and destination information, and any other ShipmentSpecialServices that should be associated with the shipment (such as COD, Return Shipment, Deliver to Post Office, etc.).

You should also specify the Commodities for all packages. Note that Canada Post will use this information to generate a commercial invoice, which will be returned to you in PDF format in the InternationalForm property, unless InternationalFormFile is set, in which case the file will be saved to the path specified.

In order to print a label and manifest to be tendered to a Canada Post driver, you must:

1. Assign each shipment a GroupId and then call GetPackageLabel for each package in the shipment.
2. Call TransmitShipments with the GroupId for the shipment.
3. Call GetManifest for each manifest in ManifestDetails.

Note that this only applies when submitting a contract shipment (ie. CanadaPostContractId is set).

If you wish to cancel a package before you call TransmitShipments for that shipment, you can call CancelShipment and the package will be voided.

In order to use this class you will need to have a CanadaPost CanadaPostAccountNumber, which is your customer number. You will also need to have signed up for the Developer Program and obtained a CanadaPostUserId and CanadaPostPassword.

Actual Base Charge applicable to this package.

For FedEx, this is normally specific to the PayorAccountNumber. It is used in the FedExShip and FedExShipIntl only. When this is used, please note that for MPS the FedEx server provides the rating information in two different ways for domestic and international shipments.

In MPS domestic shipments, the rating information is available on the package level. In this case, the properties that store the rating information: PackageBaseCharge, PackageNetCharge, PackageTotalSurcharges, and PackageTotalDiscount, indicate the rate for that particular package.

While in MPS international shipments, the rating information is available on shipment level only and it is returned in the last package response. That being said, please note that: for all packages with index=0 to PackageCount - 2, the properties that store the rating information will be set to 'N/A', and in the last package (at index=PackageCount - 1, these properties will contain the rate for the whole shipment.

For UPS, this is the "transportation charge - fuel surcharge" applicable to this package. Upon a successful response, this is returned in the server reply for each package included in the shipment if SubVersion is 1701 or greater.

This is not applicable to USPS.

For Canada Post, upon a successful response, this is returned in the server reply for the package requested.

Default Value

''

Remarks

The COD monetary value for the package.

For FedEx, this is applicable and required for Ground shipments only. If the shipment is using COD special service (i.e., the ShipmentSpecialServices is set to the corresponding value of COD), then the COD amount should be specified on package level for all packages that are going to use COD. If this is set, then the package will be considered as using the COD service.

Since Ground packages do not travel together and may be delivered at different times, you should add the value for the individual packages to be collected. On MPS Ground shipments, a COD return label will be generated for each package that uses COD service (stored in PackageCODLabel).

On COD Express shipments, the COD amount should be specified on shipment level and the CODTotalAmount is required instead.

For UPS, if the PackageCODAmount is set to a value other than "0.00", it indicates that COD special service is requested for that package. The collection type should be specified in the request via the PackageCODType. COD special service is not valid for return service movements. Package level COD is available for shipment from US/PR to US/PR, CA to CA, and CA to US. COD service for shipment from CA to US is not allowed for PackageType Letter/Envelope. COD special service is available for shipper's with PickupType 'Daily Pickup' or 'Drop Shipping'. Delivery Confirmation (represented by PackageSignatureType) and COD cannot coexist on a single package.

This property is not applicable to USPS packages.

Format: Two explicit decimal positions (e.g. 100.00).

When the PackageCODFile is set to a valid path and filename, the contents of the PackageCODLabel are written to disk when either the GetPackageLabel or GetShipmentLabels method is called.

This filename should have the same extension defined by LabelImageType (for example, if LabelImageType is set to PDF, then PackageCODFile has to have .pdf extension).

If the filename exists, you can choose to overwrite it or not by setting the Overwrite config setting (which defaults to True).

This property is only applicable to FedEx shipments.

Remarks

Image of the COD return label for this package retrieved by FedEx Server upon a successful COD ship request.

This is the decoded binary image file of the COD return label, stored in memory when either the GetPackageLabel or the GetShipmentLabels method is called. The kind of label data returned depends on the label formatting specified in your ship request via LabelImageType. If you requested a PNG label, the data returned will be a PNG file. If you requested a thermal label, it will be a thermal label image. If the PackageCODFile is set to a valid path and filename, the label is also saved to disk in a LabelImageType format.

Since MPS Ground packages do not travel together and may be delivered at different times, a PackageCODLabel return label will be generated for each package that uses COD service.

On MPS Express packages, only one COD label will be generated and this will be returned on the last package of the MPS.

This property is only applicable to FedEx.

For FedEx, the PackageHeight is optional, but recommended, if "Your Packaging" is used as PackagePackagingType. This is required if PackageLength and PackageWidth are provided in the request. It is also required if a FedEx Express heavyweight service is selected for the shipment.

For UPS, this is the width of the package used to determine dimensional weight and therefore is recommended for all shipments.

It is required for GB to GB, and Poland to Poland shipments, and for 'Pallete' packaging type. For UPS packaging types: the length, width and height are defaulted.

Length + 2*(Width+Height) must be less than or equal to 130 IN or 330 CM. When PackageWidth is provided in the request, then all other dimensions (PackageLength and PackageHeight) are to be set as well.

Default Value

0

Remarks

Specifies one of the Delivery Signature Options requested for this package. Possible values are:

For FedEx Express shipments, the NoSignatureRequired option will not be allowed when the following special services are requested: Alcohol, Hold At Location or Dangerous Goods.

For residential FedEx Ground International shipments from Canada to the U.S., two valid signature options are allowed: NoSignatureRequired and Direct.

The impact of signature options fees may vary depending on your agreement with FedEx. Following are the definitions for FedEx:

• Service Default: In this case, the appropriate signature option will be selected for your shipping service. For example, if the package contains Dangerous Goods, the Direct signature option is chosen for you. The actual signature option applied to this package could be different than the signature option requested if a conflict occurred with other service features in the package. In this case, the value set in the request will be ignored.
• Indirect Signature Required: Indicates that an indirect signature is required upon delivery. This is allowed to residential addresses only. In this case, FedEx obtains a signature in one of three ways: from any person at the delivery address, from a neighbor, building manager, or other person at a neighboring address. The recipient can sign a FedEx door tag authorizing release of the package without anyone present. This might affect the shipping rates and/or service availability.
• Direct Signature Required: Indicates that a direct signature is required upon delivery. In this case, FedEx obtains a signature from any person at the delivery address. If no one is at the address, FedEx will reattempt delivery; Direct Signature Required overrides any recipient release that may be on file for deliveries to nonresidential addresses. This option is not available for Hold at FedEx Location shipments. This might affect the shipping rates and/or service availability.
• Adult Signature Required: Indicates that the adult signature is required upon delivery. In this case, FedEx obtains a signature from any person at least 21 years old (government-issued photo identification required) at the delivery address. If no one is at the address, FedEx will reattempt delivery. Adult Signature Required overrides any recipient release that may be on file for deliveries to nonresidential addresses. This might affect the shipping rates and/or service availability.

Note: In the server reply, this option may differ from that requested value due to other characteristics of the shipment.

For UPS, when delivery confirmation is requested for a package, the PackageSignatureType should be set to a value other than 0 (stServiceDefault). The availability of this special service depends on the ServiceType. The type stIndirect is not valid for UPS packages.

Also, when using UPS Mail Innovations, delivery confirmation can be requested by setting this to stUSPSDeliveryConfirmation.

Delivery Confirmation and COD cannot coexist on a single package. Also, Delivery Confirmation option cannot be combined with the Return Services option.

For USPS, if this is not set to stServiceDefault or stNoSignatureRequired, the Signature Confirmation service will be used. Also, for Express label shipments, set this to stNoSignatureRequired to waive the signature requirements.

This does not apply for Canada Post.

'0.0'

Remarks

Weight of this package.

For FedEx, this is required to be provided in the request. It requires one explicit decimal position in pounds or kilograms, depending on the value of the WeightUnit config, (i.e. N.N formatting).

For UPS, this is required to be provided in the request for each package contained in the shipment if PackagePackagingType is set to a value other than 0 (UPS Letter). For Ground shipments, if the actual weight is less than 150 pounds, then the billable weight is 150 pounds. Air and 3 Day Select shipments will not be subject to a minimum billable weight. Format: it requires one explicit decimal position in pounds or kilograms, depending on the value of the WeightUnit config, (i.e. N.N formatting).

Note that if the ServiceType stUPSSurePostLessThan1LB or stUPSFirstClassMail is used, or the ServiceType stUPSExpeditedMailInovations is used with the PackagePackagingType ptMachineables, ptIrregulars, or ptStandardFlat then the weight must be specified in ounces. The WeightUnit config will be set automatically to "OZS" if not set.

For USPS, this must be the weight in pounds and ounces of the package. Package weight cannot exceed 70 pounds. (First-Class Mail cannot exceed 13 ounces. Bound Printed Matter cannot exceed 15 pounds). On international shipments, weight limits vary by country.

The format must be in "N lbs N oz", or as an integer showing the number of ounces. For example, a package with weight 6 lbs, 8 oz can be specified as "6 lbs 8 oz" or as "104".

However, in USPS, if PostageProvider is set to ppEndicia, then the format must be one explicit decimal position in ounces (i.e. N.N formatting).

For Canada Post, the weight of the parcel should be specified in kilograms (e.g. 99.999).

For FedEx, the PackageWidth is optional, but recommended, if "Your Packaging" is used as PackagePackagingType. This is required if PackageLength and PackageHeight are provided in the request. It is also required if a FedEx Express heavyweight service is selected for the shipment.

For UPS, this is the width of the package used to determine dimensional weight and therefore is recommended for all shipments.

It is required for GB to GB, and Poland to Poland shipments, and for 'Pallete' packaging type. For UPS packaging types: the length, width and height are defaulted.

Length + 2*(Width+Height) must be less than or equal to 130 IN or 330 CM. When PackageWidth is provided in the request, then all other dimensions (PackageLength and PackageHeight) are to be set as well.

For USPS, this is only required if the package is irregular and the PackagePackagingType property is set to ptNonRectangular. (In this case PackageWidth and PackageHeight must still be set).

Note: For parcels, PackageLength is the measurement of the longest dimension and PackageWidth and PackageHeight make up the other two dimensions. PackageGirth is the measurement around the thickest part of the package, perpendicular to the length.

Except for Parcel Post, no mailpiece may measure more than 108 inches in length and girth combined. Parcel Post pieces measuring over 108 inches, but not more than 130 inches in combined length and girth are mailable at the applicable oversized rate.

Note that the PackageLength, PackageWidth, and PackageHeight are required for Priority Mail packages when the PackageSize is set to psLarge.

Note also that this applies to Endicia shipping label requests.

For Canada Post, this field should be set to the second longest dimension (3.1 digits e.g. 999.9 pattern).
