Each box represents the cost in days of a package, considering only the __stock and the dock cost.__\n\nThe first box with a total time of __2 days__ will wait for the item represented by the second box with a total time of __5 days__. We have defined that the time of the shipment is up to __6 days__, that is, items with delivery time within a period of 6 days will be grouped. The third box will follow in a different delivery group because it exceeds the shipping time.\n\nThe period considers T = 0 as the date of the order.\n\n![Configuração em estoque e entrega EN](https://cdn.statically.io/gh/vtexdocs/help-center-content/refs/heads/main/docs/en/tutorials/shipping/inventory-and-shipping-settings/setting-up-shipment_1.png)\n\n## How to set up the shipment\n\n1.
