How to Create a Custom Shipping Profile (Single Ship Items)

If you have large or heavy items that you do not want combined with other purchases, a custom shipping profile is the best way to handle it.

Using a “single ship” profile ensures:

  • The item ships in its own box
  • It is not combined with other items in the buyer’s order
  • A separate shipping label is created

 

Step 1: Go to Shipping Profiles

  • Go to your Seller Hub
  • Click the “Shipments” dropdown
  • Select “Shipping Profiles”

 

Step 2: Create a New Profile

  • Click the yellow “Create Shipping Profile” button

 

Step 3: Set Up Your Profile

On this screen:

  • Name:
    Use something simple like Single Ship Item
  • Weight:
    • If you use max shipping, you can set a standard weight (example: 5 lbs)
    • If not, enter the actual weight + 5–10 oz for packing materials

 

Step 4: Turn On Single Ship Setting (Most Important)

  • Toggle “Set the maximum number of items to put into one package” to ON
  • Set the max to 1

This ensures the item will not be combined with anything else.

Step 5: Set Box Dimensions

  • Change box size to Custom
  • Enter 12 x 12 x 12 (or your preferred box size)

Step 6: Publish

  • Click Publish

Your custom shipping profile is now saved.

Step 7: Use It When Listing Items

When listing an item:

  • Scroll to the Shipping Profile section
  • Select your custom profile (example: Single Ship Item)

That item will now ship separately from all other items in the order.

Final Tip

Use a single ship profile for:

  • Large items
  • Heavy items
  • Fragile items
  • Anything you do not want combined

This keeps your shipping organized and protects your items during transit.
