The Conversation
One of our very new custore, started with an interesting conversation with our Online Support representative about the plugin. You can raise any concern or find the older threads in our forum for helpful insights.
Let’s start with the conversation.
Customer:
Can anyone explain to Europe, UK, and Africa, but I have no idea what those services mean.
Our Answer:
Before defining Sipping Services, let’s see where you can find the shipping services in the plugin. Navigate to place an order and test the plugin.
At the Rates & Services tab, you have a list of so-called services. Services refer to the type of shipping service it is.
For instance, the last one mentioned as “EXPRESS 12:00” refer domestically.
Any service having a specifed time in its name is called Time Definite Delivery. This type of delivery service is one of the fastest DHL offers. Time Definite Delivery services use all modes of transport and the first available land vehicle is used toms laws affect the time in case of international delivery.

The second type of services with DHL Express is same day delivery for both to ship the parcel making it the fastest available shipping service offered by DHL Express. And the third type of services is the Day Definite service. This is relatively slower service and only available for international shipping.
To wind up you can offer any type of service offered by DHL top of the real-time rates in terms of $ or %.
Customer:
Is there a way for the plugin to only bill them for 1?
Our Answer:
The scenario here calls for the box packing available in the packing ‘Packing’ tab. Select the option of ‘Recommended: Pack into boxes with weight and dimensions’ for the Packing Options as shown below.
There are few already assigned box present in the section. You can create your custom of the list. The ‘Package Type’ has three options in DHL Box, Flyer, and Your Box. So you can assign the type of box you use.
Now consider the situation in the query, you can add a box with a dimension that fits a considerable number of products in it, in your case 3. Now in the Maximum Weight Box for your box enter the maximum weight this box is going to carry. Let’s suppose you keep it 0.5 kg. So with this setup, until one box is not having 0.5 kg of products, the second box will not be selected. The shipping rate here is not dependent on the number of the product.
Plus, this call for the real weights of the products assigned don’t have individual pacing option because that will pack each product in separate boxes and charges will be multiplied with the number of boxes used.
Customer:
I keep getting this error though when I try to generate a Waybill: DHL Express Create Shipment Error: 154: SA field value is invalid All our products are configured with weights and dimensions.
I’ve removed the signatures and the error no longer pops up, but neither does the waybill?
Where to find it once it’s generated?
Our Answer:
