What if your business has Multiple Warehouses?

Most of the online business owners prefer to have a warehouse overseas in order to make sure they don’t spend too much on international shipping. However, there are certain challenges when it comes to shipping from a different location.

Different Shipper Address
As discussed, while displaying real-time shipping rates and printing shipping labels, generally the carriers take into account the shipper address, which you have to enter manually, and the customer’s address. However, in the case of different warehouses, the shipper address is not the same every time a customer places an order.

Dynamically Swapping Addresses for International Shipments
If you have different warehouses for different locations (international destinations) you would require to change the shipper address every time a customer from a specific country places the order. This process needs to be accurate every time as once the order is placed you have no way to make shipping rates adjustments and have to bear the shipping costs on your own.

Finding a Shipping Solution
The only solution for this is to have an advanced shipping solution which provides a way to change the shipper address automatically based on the destination address.
