		Consignment consignment = createDefaultConsignment( "EXAMPLE-52" , 1 );
		consignment.setRecipientName( "François du Færé" );
		Consignment[] createdConsignments = service.createAndAllocateConsignments( new Consignment[] { consignment } , null );
		Consignment createdConsignment = createdConsignments[ 0 ];
 
		if( createdConsignment.getCarrierConsignmentCode() == null ) {
			System.out.println( "The consignment could not be allocated" );
		} else {
			System.out.println( "The consignment was allocated and a given tracking code of " + createdConsignment.getCarrierConsignmentCode() );
