Special Shipping
eMachineShop offers a few special shipping modes.
Drop Shipping
You can drop ship eMachineShop orders. For example, if you are in the ice cream equipment business and want to sell to your clients ice cream mixer components you designed, you can order the mixer parts from eMachineShop and have the parts dropped shipped directly to your clients.
To order with drop shipment:
- In Job | Settings | Address enter your name, email and phone plus your clients business name and address.
- In Job | Settings | Payment select credit card and enter your address.
- In Job | Settings | General | Administrative comments you can enter special instructions such as "Include ABC Ice Cream business card and brochure. Omit invoice".
- Place the order.
- eMachineShop will charge your credit card and you will bill your client.

International Consolidation
Due to the higher cost of shipping to other countries, requests to consolidate shipments into one package are accepted. To request that multiple orders be shipped as one, in menu Job Settings | General | Administrative Comments enter "Consolidate shipments per web site terms". Your shipping costs will be reduced in accordance with any reduction in shipping costs. However, please note that eMachineShop limits consolidation to one month. Normally this interval will be sufficient to collect a batch of orders into one shipment. However, consider for example that three orders are placed and the first order is ready to ship on Jan 1. If the second order is ready to ship on Jan 15 or Jan 30 it will be shipped with the first order. But if the third shipment is not ready by the end of Jan it will create a second shipment.
