DHL launches new version of shipping software designed for small businesses

Posted by | Jul 8, 2008 | |

EasyShip Connect 8.0 permits customers to access shipping functions to both U.S. and international destinations via an easy-to-use PC-based application.

EasyShip Connect is compatible with the Windows Vista operating system, expanding access to more PC users.

EasyShip Connect is a software-only shipping solution that communicates with DHL servers via the internet to perform all shipping functions, from printing waybills to tracking shipments and shipment management reporting. Designed for customers shipping up to 50 packages per day, EasyShip Connect automates the entire shipping process.

Expanding its shipping capabilities for exporters, EasyShip Connect can now accept a pre-filed ITN for compliance with U.S Department of Commerce Electronic Export Information (EEI) requirements.

Additionally, a designated “administrator” of EasyShip Connect within an office can set parameters for shipment processing, such as the ability to select specific service levels or value-added services, thereby providing greater control of expenses.

New DHL EasyShip Connect features also include:
– Multi-piece air shipping on a single waybill
– Dry ice shipping functionality
– Connectivity with USB scales for automated weighting
– Enhanced Domestic shipping services to Puerto Rico
– Improved export documentation tools
– Both one-way and two-way return label processing for distribution to customers

Window Book Offers New Cost-Saving Return Merchandise Labels for Shippers

Posted by | Jul 8, 2008 | |

Window Book announces new Return Merchandise system in its Postal Package Partner software making USPS return service easier to use and more cost effective.

e-Commerce Shippers can now use Postal Package Partner to print Return Merchandise labels that can be sent out with the package without prepaying for the postage. The postage is deducted from the original shipper’s permit account only when the item is returned. Now shippers do not have to pay postage on items that were not returned to them, and can have preprinted return labels included in every package to make it easy for the end customer. Consumers are more likely to buy your product when it is easy and free to return if it does not meet their needs.

“Returning items can be a tedious time consuming and costly process. By using Postal Package Partner’s USPS return labels, you are supplying your customers with convenient return system and only paying shipping costs on what gets returned. This is just one more way to improve your customer service and reduce costs,” said Jeffery Peoples, Window Book’s CEO.
