Parcel Configuration and Accurate Quotes
For accurate quotes to display, parcel dimensions for ‘Flyer’, ‘Medium’ and ‘Large’ parcels should be configured according to your needs. The algorithm will work out how many products will fit into each parcel, starting with the smallest size and working its way up. If you only have one or two parcel size (I.E. you don’t use the flyer bag), dimensions of 1, 1, 1 can be used. All products will also need the correct dimensions and weights configured under their WooCommerce product settings.

WCFM and WC Marketplace
If this plugin is used together with the extension “WCFM and WC Marketplace – The Courier Guy Shipping for WooCommerce” it is possible to use vendor store addresses to override the base TCG shipping address
which is configured in the TCG shipping plugin.
To do this, from the Store Manager settings, select Store Vendors / Vendor / Details / Settings / Store Shipping.
Within the Store Shipping tab enable shipping and set processing time and shipping type. Then disable
shipping and update the settings. These steps are necessary for the vendor id to be passed to the shipping
module, and if it is not done, the default origin settings will be used.

Product Settings
There are three The Courier Guy specific settings in product settings
– Free Shipping – if enabled, a cart containing that product qualifies for free shipping
– Prohibit The Courier Guy – if enabled, TCG shipping will be disabled for that cart
(both the above apply per vendor in the cart in a multi-vendor environment)
– Always pack as a single parcel – if enabled, each item of such a product will be a single parcel
