When you first install Shipper, 5 reports are created for you:

Using the report designer embedded within Shipper, you can customize these reports and create your own. Shipper 3.8 includes an updated report designer which is easier to use, and Shipper > Help > Report Designer was just updated to reflect the updated designer. This blog post on the vendor's web site describes the new user interface. And there are several online videos that go over several features of the Report Designer.

Shipper 3.8 is now available with support for UPS WorldShip. Several people asked for integration with UPS WorldShip over on UserVoice. And now you can use Shipper to automatically export and import shipment information to and from UPS WorldShip. If you are trying to decide between using ShipRush for UPS or UPS WorldShip, see "Do I need ShipRush for UPS or UPS WorldShip?".

This release also addresses these suggestions on UserVoice:

• Add a "Completed Package View"
• Add ability to show orders with backordered items
• On Packages tab, add Paid/Unpaid to filter

Some other new features:

• User defined filters
• Real full text search
• Support for AddressDoctor in both Gold and Platinum editions

If you have used Magento for more than a few minutes, you know there are a lot of extensions available in the Magento Connect marketplace. One of the great features of Magento Connect is built-in installation. Once you find the community extension you want, just type if the extension key and Magento Connect will automatically download and install the extension.

I'm very happy to say Shipping Agent for Magento is now available as a community extension in Magento Connect:

Shipping Agent for Magento

Now installation and updates are much easier.

Lots of new stuff including custom filters.

Release Notes

Someone recently asked me if there was a way to list all of the errors so he did not have to scan through 100's of packages. Now there is! The attached report lists all of the current packages that have an error, along with the error.

Installation Instructions

1. Download the report file and unzip the contents.
2. Select Reporting > Reports from the navigation pane in Shipper.
3. Create a new Report using Package data.
4. When the report designer appears, select File > Open from the menu and open the report file.

Shipping Agent for BV Commerce was updated today to update the customer address book.

When you upload a package, you can include the actual destination address that was printed on the label. If the destination address is different than the shipping address in the order, the shipping address in the order is updated to match.

The new build will scan the customer's address book for addresses that match the original order shipping address. All matches are also updated with the actual destination address. So if your customer orders from you again, they will be much more likely to use the new, corrected address.

Release Notes

UPS released WorldShip 2010 version 12 today. Initial testing shows that Shipper 3.8 (which was designed to work with WorldShip 2009 version 11) is also compatible with WorldShip 12.

WorldShip version 11 officially only worked on 32 bit operating systems. We use 64 bit Windows 7 here and ran WorldShip version 11 in Windows Virtual PC XP Mode.

WorldShip version 12 officially works on both 32 bit and 64 bit Windows 7, which is very cool.

The Shipper 3.8 beta is now available. The big new feature in this release is support for UPS WorldShip. Now you can use UPS WorldShip instead of ShipRush for UPS if you prefer. There are some differences--and for most people ShipRush for UPS will probably remain the better choice--but now you have a choice!

There are a few other changes described in the release notes.

This Shipper 3.8 Beta uses Shipping Agent 3.7. That means you can install Shipper 3.8 and check it out without touching your online store. If you don't like it (let me know), just uninstall 3.8 and re-install 3.7.

Shipper 3.7 is now available with support for eBay online stores. You can now use Shipper to process shipments for an unlimited number of eBay seller accounts in addition to all of the online stores supported by Shipping Agent:

• Print FedEx, UPS, and USPS labels with or without postage
• Print custom pick lists, packing slips, and invoices
• Send branded emails to customers
