Shipping Method Report: orders by requested ship method across every channel

A shipping method report counts orders by the shipping method the customer or channel requested: standard, expedited, two day, next day, or a named carrier service. InfiPlex stores the ship method text each channel sends with the order, so an AI agent connected to the MCP server can group every order by that value in one call and show the mix for all channels or one.

The prompt

How many orders use each shipping method?

Ask for the period. The grouping runs in InfiPlex and returns one row per method.

Show orders by shipping method for the last 30 days, highest first, with the share of each.

The mix of requested service levels is the starting point for carrier contracts, cutoff times, and staffing. For shipped package detail, the Shipping Item report in the OMS covers labels and items.

What is in the report

What the InfiPlex shipping method report shows

Method names are free text from each channel, so the agent can combine equivalents when you ask.

Column	What it tells you
Shipping method	The ship method text the channel sent with the order
Orders	Orders requesting that method
Share	The method share of all orders in the period
(none sent)	Orders that arrived with no shipping method

Follow-up prompts that reshape the shipping method report

The first answer is a starting point. Each follow-up below is one more sentence in the same conversation, and the AI agent rebuilds the report from InfiPlex data each time.

“Combine equivalent methods into Ground, Two Day, and Next Day.”Normalizes channel wording into service levels.
“Show the shipping method mix for Amazon.com only.”Applies a channel filter before grouping.
“How many expedited orders are still unshipped?”Adds a shipment state filter to one method.
“Compare this month to last month by method.”Shows whether faster service levels are growing.

Where the numbers come from

The InfiPlex data behind the shipping method report

One grouping call, with the same filters order search always accepts.

order_search group_by ship_labelOrder count per shipping method text
order_search order_sourceNarrows the mix to one channel
order_search fully_shippedNarrows the mix to shipped or unshipped orders
order_searchThe orders behind any row when you want the list

Every tool and its inputs are listed in the MCP tools reference. The same data is available as JSON through the InfiPlex REST API for teams that prefer a script.

Run it on a schedule

Schedule the shipping method report daily or weekly

Monthly is typical, ahead of carrier reviews and peak season planning. A scheduled AI agent or a short script runs the same prompt from cron and delivers the result by email, Slack, or shared folder. The scheduled custom reports guide covers both routes, and the daily inventory by warehouse report agent is a worked example to copy.

Frequently asked

Shipping Method Report questions, answered

What sellers ask before they build this report on InfiPlex.

What is a shipping method report?

It is a count of orders by the shipping method requested. It shows how much of your volume is standard, expedited, or next day, which drives carrier choice and warehouse cutoffs.

Why are the same service levels listed under different names?

Each channel sends its own wording for the ship method, and InfiPlex keeps it as sent. Ask the agent to combine equivalents and it returns normalized service levels.

Can I map shipping methods automatically?

Yes. Order Automation in InfiPlex can set order data from the ship method on each order, such as a mapped shipping method for your ERP, and the report shows the volumes those rules will touch.

Does the report show which carrier actually shipped the order?

This report groups on the method requested. For labels, tracking, and packages as shipped, use the Shipping Item report or ask the agent to list tracking for a set of orders.

Which carriers does InfiPlex connect to?

UPS, FedEx, Stamps.com, and multi-carrier platforms including ShipStation and EasyPost.
