Multi-package shipments are necessary when trying to ship orders that don't fit in one box or when needing to separate delicate items from the rest of the order. ShipHero supports multi-package shipments and provides various options for your operations.
Each carrier has their own parameters and limitations regarding multi-package shipments. Some carriers allow multiple package requests to be sent in a single API call, while others only allow a single package to be sent per API call, and some carriers do not support multi-package shipments at all.
TikTok and UPS Mail Innovations do not support multi-package shipments and will throw an error if attempted to be used.
