In addition to being able to create number of personalized shipments you wantthese logistics solutions will give you greater flexibility because you will be able to choose the one that best suits your business.
In which cases should I use a personalized shipping method?
This option can be useful in the following cases:
- As mentioned above, if you want use a shipping or courier service that doesn’t have integration with your storesuch as Andreani mail or shipments by motorcycle.
- When you cannot use the mail companies integrated with your Tiendanube due to the size or weight of your productsor if they correspond to the food or beverage category.
- In case you have already configured shipping companies and want to offer other alternatives within a given province.
- If you want to configure a delivery or withdrawal point such as a store, showroom, post office, etc. or offer free shipping.
- If you have him Argentine Mail service with special rates or OCA with rates outside the agreement. In this case, you can create each of the shipments with this feature, the only difference is that you will have to do the first configuration of all the options manually.

through the shipping calculatora functionality that automatically calculates the cost of shipping the product according to its weight and region, you can tell your customer how much they are going to pay to receive the product at home.
To manually configure this calculator, we suggest that you do so according to the shipping costs you have by weight of the products and by region.
For example, you can create a personalized shipment for the area of the City of Buenos Aires with products up to 10 kg. and a cost of $250 and another for products up to 20 kg. for the same area for $350.
I took into account that:
