Can I change shipments after I have send them to Wim Bosman?
Already send shipments through Loading list/ EDI cannot be changed anymore in E-Shipment. You need to contact Wim Bosman to change the shipment details.

Shipments which have been placed on the loading list/EDI can be changed before they are send. By selecting the shipment in the overview list, the shipment will be opened. By clicking on the black truck with the red stripe across you will deselect the shipment from to loading list. All fields will return black and you can now change the information. By clicking on the black truck you will put the shipment on the loading list again.
Please note: if you have changed the addresses or the number of packages please reprint the labels for this shipment.

E-Shipment seems to be slow, how is this possible?
E-Shipment is a system which uses the Internet. Although Internet connection speed is becoming faster every day internet connection speed is something which is hard to grasp. Internet connection speed and therefore the speed of E-Shipment is influenced by the following things:
- A slow connection speed of the Internet in your neighbourhood.
- Many users on the internet within your company. You will have to share you connection.
- Security settings in your own IT. Heavy security will slow down the internet connection speed.  
- Many users on the E-Shipment system. Usually late in the afternoon many companies send their shipments to Wim Bosman.
