My Account Number As A User Name Does Not Work

A few things have changed in this new version of WebShip. Creating a new user name that is not your account number is one of them. To do that you must create a Web Profile.

WebShip Now Requires a Web Profile

With the new version of Webship, a Web Profile must be created. In this new profile you will create or update your "Ship From" information as well as set certain defaults among several things. You will also create a new user name which will not be an account number.

To create a Web Profile, you will need to resign up. Back To Top

Creating A Web Profile

If you are signing up to WebShip for the first time, you will be required to create a Web Profile. There are five sections that you will be asked to fill out: Login Information, Ship From Address, WebShip Preference, Communication, and Confirmation.

All these sections can be edited at a later date. (See Managing My Web Profile.)

Login Information

  1. Enter User Name
    For the user name you must use an email address. If WebShip tells you the user name already exists, it more than likely means you have mistyped your email address. You will be prompted to re-enter it.
  2. Enter Password
    For the password, use something that no one will be able to guess.
  3. Secret Question and Answer
    You will need to choose a "Secret Question" and the "Secret Answer" in case you should lose your password in the future. You may want to write this down and hide it in case you should forget your user name and password.

Ship From Address

This will be the address that shows up on the "From" section of the waybill.
All the fields that have yellow bars next to them are mandatory fields.
  1. Fill in the Shipper Location Details
    If you are a current user of Loomis, most of the fields will be populated for you.

Preferences

Here you can setup all your defaults. For example, you can set the default service to always be Express when you start WebShip. You can also skip this section and edit at a later date. For more information see Managing My Web Profile.

The following is a list and a brief description of the defaults you can set.
  1. Service Type
    If you use one service type more than the other, it’s recommended you set the service type here. That way it will always appear on that service when you start Webship. The two services you can choose from are Express and Ground.
  2. Shipping Method
    Shipping Method indicates to the Loomis driver where the shipment needs to be picked up, i.e., Reception, Shipping, Office, or Other. If you choose "Drop Off", the driver will not be scheduled for a pick up.
  3. Drop Off Location
    The Drop Off Location drop down menu has a list of all the branches in Canada.
    If you are going to choose “Drop Off” from the Shipping Method drop down menu, you can specify the default branch you will be bringing the shipments to.
  4. Bill Shipment to
    There are two options to set as defaults, Pre-paid and Collect. Select Pre-paid if most of your shipments will be charged to you. Select Collect if the most of your shipments will be paid for by the receiver or a third party. (You must have their Loomis account number.)
  5. Recipient / Third Party Account #
    If you ship Collect and use the same account number on a regular basis, you can add that account number here. This number will appear on the shipment screen as a default. (Receivers that have an account number saved with them will overwrite this default.)
  6. Notify Me
    You can set the Notify Me section of the Ship a Package screen so that all shipments either being sent or received are emailed to you automatically. The email will be sent to the email address setup in the Ship From section of the Webship Profile Manager. You can choose from “When package is delivered” and “When package is shipped.”
  7. Notify Receiver
    You can set the Notify Receiver section of the Ship a Package screen so that all shipments either being sent or received are emailed to the receiver. The email will be sent to the address saved with the receiver selected. You can choose from “When package is delivered” and “When package is shipped.”
  8. Export Reason
    Export Reason determines the general intention of the shipment, i.e., the item is going to be coming back to Canada eventually, or the item is going to stay in the country it is being sent to, and so forth. The three choices available are Permanent, Temporary, and Re-Import. Permanent means the shipment will remain in the country it is being sent to. Temporary means the shipment will be returning to Canada. Re-Import means the shipment is being returned to the country it was shipped from (i.e., returns or warranty items.). You can set the default Export Reason to appear on the Shipment screen. This only applies to international shipping.
  9. Bill duties/taxes/fees to
    This only applies to international shipping. Any package that crosses a border is subject to duties. You will have to determine who is going to pay for those duties at the time of shipping. But here you can set up the dominant choice as the default. There are two options to choose from. DDU (the receiver pays for the duties) and DDP (the shipper, you, pay for the duties.)
  10. Country of Manufacture
    Country of Mfg (Manufacturer) is the country the item was made in. In the Preference screen, you can set the default Country of Mfg. For example, if most of the items you are sending are made in China, you can put China here. This is used for international shipping.
  11. Cost Centre
    The Cost Centre allows you to reference your shipments in Shipping Reports, E-Billing, etc. for shipping cost analysis. A Cost Center can be alphanumeric, i.e. "123", "SALES", or "123SALES" are all acceptable. Saving a Cost Centre in the Preference screen means this cost centre will appear on the shipment screen and can be used for each and every shipment. Receivers that have Cost Centre saved with them will overwrite this default.
  12. Special Handling
    Special Handling is for packages of large unusual sizes or for packages that haven't been packaged properly or haven't been packaged at all.
  13. Units Of Measurement
    Set your default type of measurement. The two options are Imperial (pounds and inches) or Metric (kilos and centimeters).
  14. Create common package sizes (Standard Packages)
    If you have standard package sizes, you don’t have to add those package details every time you ship. With this feature you can name and save these package details. Then when you are ready to ship, you can choose these saved “Standard Packages” from a drop down menu in the “Ship a Package” screen. (For more information see Standard Packages in Manage My Profile.) You can create up to ten Standard Packages.

Communication & Promotion information

Here you can request that Loomis send you or email you information on Loomis products, services, updates and promotions.
  1. Check notifications you wish to receive.
  2. If you were given a Promo Code, you can re-enter it here.
Back To Top

Confirmation

This is the final step of the setup process before you can start shipping.
  1. If you have read and understood the terms and conditions, put a check in the check box.
  2. To prevent automated users from registering, WebShip is going to ask you to write in the text you will see in the small image. The image will skew the text a little, but not enough so that you cannot read it.
Click on the Finish button and you are ready to ship. Back To Top
