Why worry about box dimensions?
By entering the actual box dimensions the system will be able to accurately display this information (as well as the total cubes) on the Bill of Ladings. For customers that purchase items that go through Miami and are received at their facility in the US or Canada, this helps control the freight charged by the carriers since you’ll be able to compare the billed cubes against your cube estimates from the Komet Sales system. This will also help your customers when checking their freight bills against your shipments.
