This may be because they don&#8217;t meet the specific material guidelines, or that something previously unexpected keeps going wrong, preventing us from shipping the model as intended. In order to guarantee quality of all products, we may need to cancel the model from the order and let you know what the problem is.<\/p>\n<p>While this can be frustrating, we&#8217;ve just added a new feature that will allow you to add these products back into orders that are already in progress so you don&#8217;t lose any money on shipping.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-22043\" style=\"font-size: 1rem; line-height: 1;\" alt=\"combined-shipping\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/combined-shipping-625x227.png\" width=\"625\" height=\"227\" data-wp-pid=\"22043\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/combined-shipping-625x227.png 625w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/combined-shipping-400x145.png 400w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/combined-shipping.png 668w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>How does this work?<\/b>\u00a0If you have any orders that haven&#8217;t shipped yet, you will have the option in checkout to ship new orders with your latest open order.
