Review Contacts on the Account

Review Account Addresses

Account addresses appear on the account overview. They can be marked for shipping, billing, or both. Defaults help new orders and invoices start with the expected address, but users should still verify the address before sending documents or buying labels.

How Address Choices Affect Workflows

  • Shipping address: used for order delivery, carrier rates, label validation, residential handling, and freight review.
  • Billing address: used for invoices, statements, AR review, and customer-facing financial documents.
  • Default shipping: pre-fills new order shipping when the account is selected.
  • Default billing: pre-fills invoice or billing context when available.
  • Residential flag: can affect carrier rates and surcharge behavior.
  • One-time address: useful for a single order when the address should not become an account default.
Verify addresses before label purchase Shipping labels depend on address quality, carrier rules, location setup, package data, and residential status. Correct address problems before buying a label.

​
Common Blocks

  • Order picked the wrong address: check default shipping and whether the order used a one-time address.
  • Invoice address is blank: confirm a billing address exists or the order has a billing address selected.
  • Email goes to the wrong person: review primary contact and account communication preferences.
  • Label rate looks high: review residential status, address validation, package dimensions, and carrier service.
  • Cannot delete a contact or address: it may be tied to visible history or require permission to change.
History stays tied to old documents Updating an account contact or address helps future work. It does not rewrite documents, emails, labels, or orders that were already created with earlier information.
