Your Checkout. Your Packing Rules.
No two warehouses pack alike. ShipperHQ lets you take full control of how products get boxed and rated at checkout — so your shipping math actually adds up.
Define box types with dimensions, weight limits, or quantity caps that reflect your real packaging inventory.- Account for items that ship separately, ship in multiple boxes, or ship in fixed-quantity master cases.
- Assign boxes and rules by product, carrier, or SKU – no developer required.
- Add packing material weight and shipping surcharges to your box details.
Pack Smarter. Spend Less.
Every inch in a box costs you money. ShipperHQ’s best-fit algorithm finds the most efficient way to pack orders so you can keep rates competitive and cut shipping costs.
- Reviews product dimensions, weight, quantity, box sizes, and packing rules to determine the most efficient configuration.
- Packs items into the fewest, smallest boxes possible to minimize dimensional weight charges.
- Prevents overcharges and undercharges that hurt margins or drive customers away.
- Cuts costs and reduces waste by feeding packing data for each order into your ecommerce platform – improving how your team fulfills in real life.

FAQs
What if I don’t have all my product dimensions or box sizes yet?
No problem. ShipperHQ’s Dimensional Packing still improves your rate accuracy right out of the gate. Even without defined boxes or dims, it takes into account carrier max shipment weights to calculate realistic rates.
For example, if your carrier’s shipment weight limit is 70 lbs and your customer’s cart totals 100 lbs, ShipperHQ automatically splits that into two boxes — one filled to the 70-lb max and another with the remaining 30 lbs. That means your checkout rates stay accurate, even when you’re still building out your packaging data.
Once you’re ready to fine-tune, you can add a few simple packing rules — like flagging items that ship prepacked or separately — to ensure every shipment is rated precisely. Start there, and you’ll see immediate gains in rate accuracy and margin control.
Do I need a developer to set this up?
Nope. Configure everything — boxes, packing rules, and product sizes — in your ShipperHQ dashboard. No code needed.
Does it work with freight?
Yes. Use Dimensional Packing with both parcel and LTL freight, including liftgate or inside-delivery fees.
How does it calculate dimensional weight?
We compare actual weight and dimensional (volumetric) weight, then use the higher value — just like your carrier does.
Can I apply different packing rules per product?
Absolutely. Assign unique logic for SKUs, categories, or carriers.
How long does setup take?
Most merchants go live in under two weeks with expert onboarding.
