Packaging Type: Items marked as "LTL Loose" or "Parcel" on the GovPlanet website will not be eligible for Instant Rates
- Multiple Items: GovPlanet Items will need to be shipped as separate orders or created manually through uShip.com, as the integration does not allow combining separate Item numbers into one shipment
