With your account, a unit number is assigned to you, and all shipments must be shipped to us using your unit number.  Note that just sending a shipment to us without properly addressing as shown in your warehouse address causes confusion, and leads to extra work on the warehouse personnel, hence the extra charge required to sort out your packages separately.
