Include cut off times to the Ship By Date feature
Amazon currently pulls through a Ship By date for all orders. It knows that our cut off point is 3pm, so any orders placed before then will be shown to ship today, and any orders after are shown to ship tomorrow. It also takes into account our weekend opening times and bank holidays too.
Whilst the new Ship By date on StoreFeeder is useful, I think it needs to be filtered by time and day of the week too in order to provide accurate Ship By dates as we currently cannot use it.
It would be good if we could…

Show Notes Only For Certain Pickers
It would be really handy to be able to show notes for certain pickers.
For example a new picker with no experience may need reminding how to pack a certain product. Something that an experienced picker would know and not need to be told everytime they pack a specific item.
At the moment barcode despatched notes are either shown for everyone, or no one - there is no inbetween which means experienced users need to clear every message.

Scan a case barcode for despatch.
I sell lots of items which come in case packs (6, 12, 18 units per case). Because I also sell the items in singles I have to have a single product which means the only way to despatch cases at the moment is to enter the quantity in the case before scanning the case or single product barcode.
It would be so much better if a case barcode can be entered, and that Store Feeder knows the case barcode is for the 6, 12 or 18 units mentioned above.
Does anyone else have a solution to despatching cases by scanning…

Default picker
It would be handy if there could be a default picker setting, this would speed up creating pickwaves as it takes away the step of selecting a picker everytime an order is despatched. Or perhaps it could have the last picker as the selected picker for the next batch of pickwaves? That way it only needs to be changed / clicked if the picker changes.

Add "SKU" into Rule Builders
I think it would be really beneficial to be able to add a SKU into a shipping rule.
At the moment, we have to use "Hazardous Product" tick box to get some rules specific to certain products.
They are not Hazardous, but it's the only way so far.If we can select a SKU and create a specific shipping rule for that 1 product or more, that would be cool.
21 votesHi Linda,
we are looking at both adding extra options into shipping rules where we can and also potentially replacing them with much more flexible order processing rules and will be able to do much more than simply set a shipping method.
In the mean time is Ian suggested you should be able to do this by tweaking your packaging sizes.
Thanks,

Tags and Attention Messages in Shipping Rules
To improve the efficiency and clarity of our packing process, we propose an enhancement to the shipping rules within StoreFeeder. This feature would allow for the automatic assignment of custom tags and the insertion of "Attention Required Messages" to orders, particularly benefiting our unbranded boxing service.
Our service includes an option for customers to choose unbranded boxing as their shipping method. This choice is crucial for ensuring the correct packaging process is followed. However, once orders are imported into StoreFeeder, the visibility of this option is lost, leading to confusion among packers.
Proposed Solution:
1) Custom Tag Assignment: Enable shipping…

Packing Box Code and Tape Dispenser Code Integration
We would greatly appreciate the addition of a new product field specifically for the packing box code. This feature would enable us to quickly identify the recommended box for each product, streamlining the packing process. Additionally, we are planning to incorporate electric tape dispensers into our workflow. A similar product field for the tape length, corresponding to the dispenser settings, would be highly beneficial.

Auto merge Large Letter and Parcel shipping options.
I have a lot of customers that make separate orders, some are parcel size, some large letter. Currently I need to arrange open orders alphabetically and manually scroll through merging orders from different shipping services. On a monday that could be hundreds of orders which takes forever. It would be useful to have a rule that merges these automatically or at least flag them up so they can be found quickly.

Shipping Costs for Reporting
At present we do not have a way to calculate the cost price that it costs us as a business when running reports to see order x, item cost price x and shipping cost price x = profit.
That way we can analyse on how much we make per order based on the services we have used.

Please add the ability for the shipping rules to amend the size of an order
Our overseas couriers do not use letter services. When we get ordersd that are letter sized but going overseas we have to manually change these to large letter before we can generate a label for them. Could you please add the ability within the shipping rules section so that if an order comes through from overseas and is letter sized, the system can automatically amenmd the size to large letter?

Improved Packaging Sizes
I would like more granular control over the packaging sizes. We use a whole range of packaging from polythene mailing bags, bubble bags to double-wall cardboard boxes. That said, not all these packaging materials are suitable for all items.
An idea to achieve this could be packaging groups. These groups are their own list of packaging sizes which can be assigned to a product to restrict the packaging size progression to a set of packaging materials.
This way when multiples of an item are ordered we can choose the exact packaging sizes it must follow. For example, we can restrict…

Dispatch By Tote
I would like to see the option to despatch by tote added where a single order is scanned into a tote by the picker and the packer scans the tote to dispatch instead of scanning the products.
90% of our products do not come barcoded as they're not retail items and barcoding these items manually is not an option due to volume.
Being able to scan a pick location to pick the products into a tote and then scan the tote to dispatch would allow us to fully utilize the SF app.

Option to print an additional unpaid returns label when dispatching orders using scan & despatch
For a lot of order returns, our customers must arrange & pay for return postage. To make the process a little easier for them, and to make sure they use the correct address, we'd like to be able to print off a third label for all orders at the point of dispatch, which has our return address on it, and also the customer order number (so we can identify the customer who has made the return if there is no note in with their return.). They can then attach this label to their package when returning it.
4 votesHI Sali,
we do have a feature of creation tracked returns labels in bulk. If you would like to contact the support team, they will be able to give you guidance on how to get this activated for you.
If we don't hear back from you on here by next motth I'll close this request off.
Thanks,

Shipping rules to include dimensions
It would be great to overhaul the shipping rule system. Firstly the rule engine to be more powerful to allow extra filters such as volume and product dimensions.
Also to allows to be switched on and off based on time. An example being a rule to allow priority orders to be assigned to a specific shipping method upto a certain time and then switch to another after the time to allow for courier collection times.

PalletForce Integration
Would a PalletForce integration be considered for storefeeder, or through patchworks? This is the only courier we have manual integrations with and would also update orders when dispatched with pallet tracking numbers.

Automatic Saving of Weight, HS Code, Box Code, and Tape Size
An option to automatically save the weight, HS code, box code, and tape size for each order during the packing process would be extremely valuable. This would eliminate the need for manual entry every time we receive new products, thereby saving time.

Being able to split kit components into multiple orders
I sell a lot of kits which are made up of multiple components. For example a boat cleaning kit, with 10 items weighing 7kg. Or 4 items weighing 2.5kg.
To send this via Royal Mail internationally I need to split some components into a new order. The system doesn't currently allow this though because it's a kit.
This means I have to manually delete each item of the order, and then manually add each item back onto the order and allocate the correct price to it. It's really slow and faffy not being able to use the "split into new…

HS codes for kits.
I sell a lot of 'kits' on Shopify. In StoreFeeder, these kits have component products set against them for stock take purposes. However, when I ship a kit the CN22/23 lists every component rather than just the kit. I have HS codes from HMRC for these kits so don't need each product listed, which can be very lengthy and also cost my customer more.
Please consider the ability to use a kit HS code.
3 votesHi Samantha,
this is something we are looking at internally.
I'll leave this open for another 30 days to get it discussed and will update.
Thanks

Barcode scan pre-despatch
Utilise the barcode scanning despatch to pre-despatch.
We deal with many pre-orders, with waves packed in advance of the release date. We'd love the option to use the barcode scanning despatch to pre-despatch an order. This would enhance our accuracy and therefore service. We've found that it's the one gap in an otherwise highly accurate system.
This could perhaps be done as an account-locked toggle - default to 'despatch', but with an option to 'pre-despatch', perhaps as an additional checkpoint at wave creation.

Add Payment Method to Shipping Rule Option
It would be very helpful to be able to create a shipping rule based on payment type.
Our main use of this rule would be to assign a manual shipping method for orders that are being paid for by cash/bank transfer (i.e payment not received at time of order placement)
This would ensure the unpaid order can still be considered for stock in Storefeeder but not automatically shipped along with other orders before the cash/transfer has actually been received.
Many thanks!
