Q1: Will this allow for tracking and management of shipments not created through Postmaster?

Q2: Will this allow for monitoring of preprinted shipping labels (e.g. RMA labels or https://store.burrellimaging.com/index.php/supplies/mailers-...), with web hooks when they are used for a shipment?

Q3: When creating a shipment, will it be possible to specify rules for the "service"? E.g. "cheapest service with delivery by X date, but no more than Y dollars."

Q4: Can carrier specific account numbers be provided for lower shipping rates (and so shipments will be tied to account for claims, etc.)?

A1: Yes, you can reference them by the carrier tracking number (although you could not void/modify a shipment that wasn't created by your carrier account).

A2: Do those have a tracking number pre-printed? If so, yes. It will also work with a UPS InfoNotice or Waybill #.

A3: Yes! We have "best-effort" functionality, it will be expanded to add more complex statements, but we currently have "Send best price from X to Y within N days."

A4: Yes, if you rate is lower than ours and you are over a certain shipping threshold.
