If you need to use set specific shipping methods on orders based on the method selected at checkout, set your preferences in the Shipping Class Match section.
Default Order Type
Select how you want Ingram Content to handle orders based on the stock availability of the items in the order. Options include:
Release when Full (RF): When all line items are allocated, the order will ship. This is the lowest freight charge option.
Dual Shipment (LS): Immediate shipment of all in-stock items. Backorders will allocate as stock becomes available. This will result in up to two shipments per warehouse.
Multi Shipment (EL): Immediate shipment of all in-stock items. Backorders will allocate AND SHIP as stock becomes available. This is the fastest delivery option.
These can also be set on a per-order basis, details below.
