				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.nrgsoft.com/products/mac/ups/mac/index.php"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-741" title="Ship from your Mac with NRGship UPS" src="http://www.nrgsoft.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/0510_5Mistakes_Article.jpg" alt="" width="246" height="212" /></a>Shipping managers are people too. That&#8217;s right, they also make mistakes. UPS recently published a <a href="http://compass.ups.com/features/article.aspx?id=3737">Compass</a> article listing the top 5 mistakes that shipping managers can make. The list included:</p>
<p><strong>Mistake No. 1: </strong>Selecting the wrong service.</p>
<p><strong>Mistake No. 2:</strong> Needless address corrections.</p>
<p><strong>Mistake No. 3: </strong>Improper packaging.</p>
<p><strong>Mistake No. 4: </strong>Not making use of support resources.</p>
<p><strong>Mistake No. 5. </strong>Failing to get UPS help with international services.</p>
<p>According to UPS, shipping should be as simple and seamless as possible. If that&#8217;s the case, the list seems to be missing another mistake &#8211; <strong>Mistake No. 6</strong>: Not using <a href="http://www.nrgsoft.com/products/mac/ups/mac/index.php">NRGship</a> to manage your shipping. This would also solve mistake number 2, since NRGship has integrated address validation.</p>
<p>Be sure to check out the full <a href="http://compass.ups.com/features/article.aspx?id=3737">article</a> if you&#8217;re making any of these mistakes. They offer up some great tips for you!</p>

<p>So you&#8217;ve got the goods, you&#8217;ve picked your carrier….There&#8217;s only one thing left. Shipping supplies. Did you know that all of the major carriers offer their users FREE shipping supplies simply by holding an account with them?</p>
<p><a href="https://www.ups.com/myups/login?returnto=https%3a//www.ups.com/myups/info/home&amp;reasonCode=-1&amp;appid=IMS"><strong>UPS</strong></a><br />
UPS shippers holding a UPS account qualify for free shipping supplies. By simply logging into your My UPS account, you can search and order packaging, labels, air freight supplies and even pre-printed forms.  The best part is that if you use the same supplies over and over, My UPS allows you to easily reorder the supplies you use frequently. All of our <a href="http://www.nrgsoft.com/products/mac/ups/index.php">NRGship</a> customers also qualify for free labels to use in their thermal or laser printers and are provided with a quick link to order supplies from all of our solutions.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.fedex.com/us/pckgenvlp/fcl/ship/supplies/index.html"><strong>FedEx</strong></a><br />
Similar to UPS, FedEx also offers their registered users access to free shipping supplies. They provide free shipping of their products and guarantee them to arrive within 2-5 business days.  They also allow shippers to visit any of their local FedEx locations to pick up supplies if they are needed quickly.  Also offered for free are various specialty shipping supplies including COD air waybills, Clinical Pak&#8217;s and identifier labels.</p>
<p><a href="https://shop.usps.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/TopCategoriesDisplay?langId=-1&amp;storeId=10052&amp;catalogId=10001"><strong>USPS</strong></a><br />
The USPS provides everyone the opportunity to receive free Priority Mail boxes, various shipping forms and Express Mail packaging. You can even get mailing stickers and entire shipping kits at no charge. Visit the USPS Postal Store for more details. USPS packaging, forms and labels can also be ordered for free through <a href="http://www.endicia.com/Store/#USPSSupplies">Endicia</a>.</p>
<p>Visit your carrier website today for more information on how to get your own free shipping supplies and be on your way to easier shipping!</p>

<p>I&#8217;ve never had to ship chocolate milk but apparently enough people are asking the UPS experts about it to feature the question on their recent list: &#8220;Top 10 questions of spring 2010.&#8221; Check out their recent posting to learn more about shipping chocolate milk, C.O.D. policies and how to ship your luggage.</p>
<p>We did notice that they were missing one question: &#8220;Can you ship from your Mac?&#8221; <a href="http://www.nrgsoft.com/products/mac/ups/index.php" target="_blank">Of course you can!</a></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>NRGship UPS Pro supports the ability to produce custom label messaging on laser and thermal labels. Order data can be imported from sources like Yahoo! stores can include additional text that customers would like to include on an order, and they will be included on your shipping labels.</p>
<p>Customers who are shipping from FileMaker Pro can easily add this function to their shipping integration by following instructions from our KnowledgeBase <a href="http://www.nrgsoft.com/support/activekb/questions.php?questionid=88" target="new">article</a>.</p>
<p>Why print gift box labels from one printer and shipping labels from another and risk mixing up the &#8220;message&#8221; in your fulfillment department? Ship smarter this holiday season with NRGship!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nrgsoft.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/giftbox.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-298 alignnone" title="nrgship giftbox" src="http://www.nrgsoft.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/giftbox-300x218.jpg" alt="nrgship giftbox" width="300" height="218" /></a></p>
<p>When printing to a thermal printer, the message can be printed out on a doc tab.  These can then be placed onto a gift card that goes inside of the box, and makes for an even more personalized shipment!</p>
