To add or edit your packing rates, navigate to Settings -> Tariffs -> Tariff Library or click here to go directly to the page. Then click the name of any tariff and select Packing Rates from the left menu.

For packing jobs, you can charge by any of the following:

This is the most common packing rate option. Rates are determined by a set hourly rate that corresponds with the day of the week, minimum hours charged, and crew size.

You can charge a combination of a flat rate plus an hourly fee. This allows you to bundle trip fees, fuel surcharges, etc. into the initial rate to avoid having them listed as individual line items in the estimate.

A flat rate is charged for the minimum hours. Once the minimum hours are exceeded, an hourly rate is charged for any additional hours.

To set your flat rate plus hourly rates,

You can charge per hundred pounds of the shipment weight. This price would typically include labor and materials, and it is most commonly used for long-distance moves.

You can define multiple rates. For example, you could add a rate for a full pack, partial pack, or by room pack.

You can optionally configure per container (per box) packing charges. In this scenario, you'll charge the customer a flat amount to pack each box type.

Important: The Pack rate does not include the cost of the materials. During estimation, you'd add the number of boxes to be packed as well as a number of boxes to sell the customer and the system will calculate a total pack cost.

You can add or edit the following details for each material:

Note: The list of materials is derived from the materials settings page located here: Settings -> Tariffs -> Tariff Library -> Materials

Only container materials (like boxes) should have a pack and/or unpack rate.
