Settings in shipcloud for individualisation
There are some settings for the parcel stamp service which cannot be made from Weinbau-online itself. These individual settings are a means of uniform external presentation of your winery and improve the service to your customers.
These are settings for the label size (in case of a deviation from the standard A5 to A6 size), the setting of the frequency and type of notification emails (also to the winery itself) as well as individualisation of the design of the tracking page and emails. Thus, colours and logo of the winery as well as individual texts are inserted (Attention, individual design does not apply to DHL brands/shipment tracking).
Please note that your winery logo cannot be printed on A6 stamps as there is no space on the paper for it. You can find out more about this in the parcel stamp training. Please also make sure that the pick-up address at Shipcloud is the shipping address.
If you would like to have a different e-mail address for the shipment tracking notifications, please also indicate this.
These settings are made by us for you and are included in the one-off connection fee of 75/150 euros. included. Simply download this form: Datei:Einstellungen Paketversand Weinbau-online.docx and fill it out and send it back to us (to info@weinbau-online.de). In addition to this you will receive a half-hour telephone intensive training session by remote maintenance on the subject of Parcel Stamps. After or at the registration you will be contacted by the Weinbau-online team for an appointment.
PLEASE NOTE: Offer during peak times
As we all know, there is currently a huge volume of shipments and therefore - unfortunately never entirely avoidable - problems with delivery for all carriers. In the meantime, the Weinbau-online team has already experienced some of these stressful peak times and we would like to offer our users the best possible service and pass on our accumulated experience.
- Fact is: A correct, promptly checked address is the be-all and end-all. Doorbell signs should be present and legible. Hard-to-find entrances should be (temporarily) signposted.
- Fact is also: The recipient himself is the most effective contact person for the carrier in case of problems. The recipient's telephone number must be on the parcel label to prevent delays.
- And also: The tracking page of the carrier itself offers many possibilities for the recipient to make his wishes known. But how do they get there?
Quite simple: by clicking on the consignment number in the Shipcloud consignment tracking email.
Problem: Not everyone is computer-savvy or knows their way around the DHL, DPD and UPS websites. Therefore, we have designed text modules that our winegrowers can select for a (seasonal) change in the Shipcloud shipment tracking.
It should be noted that two of these texts must always be combined. The procedure for two carriers should be deliberately described in each shipment tracking, as we expressly recommend distributing the shipment volume in the Christmas business to at least two providers.
So please write us via help ticket Your first and your second choice of carriers, we will then insert the texts for you once free of charge.
Text module UPS

We generally recommend that you register for the UPS MyChoice service on ups.com.

Since registering for UPS MyChoice takes some time, a note can be posted on the door as an alternative. This should contain the recipient's address, the parcel's tracking number, the desired drop-off location and the date and signature.

Frequency of tracking emails
In addition, we can check the frequency of shipment tracking emails from Shipcloud in your account on request and adjust it once to the recommended standard for all carriers. Of course, the set standards of notifications in case of problems remain as usual.
We recommend: One mail at "Shipped" (the parcel has been picked up), and one mail at "In Delivery" (the parcel will be delivered the same or next day).
Appearance of parcel stamps
Unfortunately, we have no influence on the final design of the parcel labels - this is specified by Shipcloud and cannot be adapted by us. This means that we cannot influence the arrangement of your logo or the way in which the sender and recipient addresses are written on the stamp. Please note: As a rule, no logo is displayed on the DHL stamps.
But don't worry - the carriers also get all the delivery information correctly by scanning the stamp digitally. The parcel stamp is first and foremost a franking and therefore also fulfils its actual purpose.
If you are concerned about a smart external presentation, we recommend enclosing a customer letter with the parcel. You can even create this with the free team package from Weinbau-online in the programme. Read letter more about this here.

This function is part of the Premium Package:
Weighing costs/benefits
- To deposit your own contracts, you need your own shipcloud access for a fee. You can set this up directly on the shipcloud website. This option is initially daunting, but depending on the volume of shipments, it is definitely cheaper than the alternative.
- A shipcloud account can be cancelled on a monthly basis and starts (as of 10/21) at 29 euros/month plus a small flat fee of a few cents per shipment created. Measured against the time required for a "copy-paste" process using one's own DHL/UPS customer accounts, experience has shown that these costs are low, as the streamlined workflow of creating a label with one click can be retained directly in the order in Weinbau-online.
Set-up
- You can store the contract data of the parcel service providers in your new shipcloud access. To do this, please follow the instructions from shipcloud or shipcloud support.
- After setting up, request your API code from shipcloud.
- You can store this code under "System - Settings - Delivery".
Note: From now on, all service providers are subject to your own shipcloud conditions or your own negotiated conditions. negotiated conditions. A mixture (e.g. DHL your contract and UPS ours) is not possible.
It is necessary to book the free Weinbau-online package "Private shipcloud API access" and we will set this up free of charge as soon as you contact us to do so.
