Enable weekend shipping
If you ship and manifest at weekends, you can enable weekend shipping in Customer Account Settings. Without this enabled, any weekend shipments appear on Monday's manifest.
Click Settings then Customer Account Settings.
Click the Shipping tab.
Turn on ShipOnSaturday and/or ShipOnSunday based on the days you dispatch shipments.
Click Save.
Set up holiday periods
Use the holiday settings feature to enter periods when couriers won't collect from you or when you won't dispatch orders.
Click Settings then Holidays.
(3PL Only) Select the Client or keep it as ALL.
Select the Date of the holiday.
Enter a Comment (for example, Easter Bank Holiday or May Bank Holiday).
Click Create.
Note: If you try to create a courier shipment on a holiday date, the system automatically attempts to create a shipment on your next working day.
Bank holiday courier requests
Many couriers don't allow you to create API shipments with a collection date of a bank holiday. You need to set up holiday days if you want to create shipments during these periods.
Note: The holiday settings currently inform NOTHS and Amazon only of the holiday period and adjust expected despatch dates accordingly. This ensures late despatches don't affect your despatch metrics.
