New lower insurance rates for USPS international

The discount package insurance you purchase through Teapplix will be cheaper starting October 1st, 2011. For international USPS shipments, rates for insurance will be $0.89 per $100, no matter what mail class.

The limit is $5000 for Priority Mail / Express Mail International and $1000 for First Class International.

Domestic rates for USPS will remain $0.69 per $100 whether you have delivery confirmation or not.

The limit is $5000 if you have tracking, $1000 if you don't.

Rates for UPS / FedEx shipments will remain at $0.40 per 100 for domestic and $0.50 per $100 for international.

Remember you can put in automatic rules to add insurance, with separate rules for domestic vs international, under "Setup" => "Insurance". Often times, rates are cheaper than adding signature requirements, while still have your package protected for loss or damage.

Sears / Buy.com order import changes

We will revise our Buy.com and Sears Marketplace import tonight, 9/20 around 9pm PDT.

Previously, we assign the item title => Teapplix item name.

After the change, we will assign the SKU => Teapplix item name. The Sears/Buy.com item title will become Teapplix item description.

The main impact is that your remember weight entries may need to be revised for these orders.

Teapplix is gradually revising other marketplace imports such that Teapplix item name will always correspond to the SKU on those marketplaces. Here's what will eventually happen to other marketplaces

  • Amazon - currently a user option, in future this will be hardwired to import SKU to item name
  • eBay - currently a Teapplix set via email requests (SKU in custom label field)
  • NewEgg - hardwired to import SKU as item name

High Value Amazon FBA Orders Missing

We had a problem importing FBA orders. Some orders with high value was incorrectly classified as non fba and skipped during our FBA import. This is now fixed.
You can download old XML Settlement Reports from Amazon, and manually import into Teapplix under "Open Orders" => Import, and the missing FBA orders will show up. This will not cause any duplicates.

Switching to Amazon MWS

Teapplix has switched to using MWS for Amazon integration. MWS is Amazon's latest API to download orders and confirm order shipped.

For accounts signed up after Sept 12, 2011 you will automatically be using MWS. For existing Teapplix accounts, you will continue to use our SOAP based integration method until we convert everyone at a to be announced later date. If you want to switch to MWS early, please contact support.

One benefit of MWS based integration is that you get to control the frequency of Amazon order download. You can select hourly, every 30 minutes, or every 15 minutes. In addition, we plan to expand to non US Amazon sites in the future.

Import QB Orders

We have released some major enhancement to our QuickBooks integration solution.

Now you can import orders from QuickBooks to print shipping labels in Teapplix.
You have the choice of import invoices (paid or not), sales receipts and sales orders. Teapplix is smart enough to not re-import orders that is originally from Teapplix back into Teapplix. It will also not export any orders that is originally from QuickBooks back into QuickBooks.

We have also released some other enhancements in QuickBooks integration:

  1. orders from other marketplaces like Buy.com, Sears, NewEgg etc can now be mapped to their own customers and accounts.
  2. you can now have your sales receipt deposit to "Undeposited Funds" in addition to regular bank accounts
  3. For domestic orders, Teapplix will no longer export the "country" line into QuickBooks. This solves a QuickBooks bug where it can't print addresses with "United States" as country.
  4. For eBay orders, Teapplix will append the item number into the item description field.
  5. You can now customize the way Teapplix name created customers. You can use normal name, company name, name + email / phone number, etc.

Open orders display change

Teapplix now displays item title, SKU, and location code if assigned on the open orders page.

One application for this is that if you have multiple warehouses or your inventory is handled by different people, you can put that in the location code using the remember weight screen. That location code can be used to sort your orders. Then you can use bulk update to move the orders to different custom queues so multiple people can process them.
