Shipping to many different locations

Hello. I've been trying to create a list of costumers I need an item to be shipped. This list has names, business names and address. All of them are different. Usually I create a list in excel and I can import it to the address book and the ship from the. So I select all of them and click ship and I just have to edit the information (for example if I want it blind, third party, the method, etc). But i do that in one step. In the option we have for costumers, I could import the list, but it doesnt let me create a label, it has to be one by one. Then I chatted with shipstation's costumer service and they said it has to be done as a batch, but I couldnt find a wait to import the list. For What i could do at that time, it was to create new orders, one by one, with all the addresses I needed to, and the take all of the in a batch.. But that takes a lot of time to copy and paste one address at the time, instead of importing the list and get all the information I need in one step. Sometimes I have orders that I have to ship to 100 different costumer but the ship from it is the same...How do I do that in an easy way? Please if you know how to do it, please let me know...Thanks in advance...

  Hello Joninka, 

   

  Welcome to the Community and thanks for your post. 

   

   I want to make sure I understand what you are trying to achieve correctly. You are trying to create and print many labels from a list of customers. Is this correct?

   

  If so, here is what I suggest:

   

  The Customers tab only allows you to create one order at a time, to create many orders, we recommend using a CSV to import the list in bulk.  This will create an order for each of the customers and add a customer record for each in the Customers tab at the same time. 

   

  The article, V3: Import Orders via CSV, will provide in-depth instructions on how to import your orders using CSV. 

   

  Additionally, I have linked our sample CSV file that you can use as a template for your import file.

  Please let us know if this helps you out or if you are still in need of assistance.
