# How to set the Speed Grade for a Carrier in PrestaShop 1.5

After [adding a Carrier](/support/edu/prestashop/add-shipping-carrier/) to your PrestaShop 1.5 store, you need to set different specs to further detail the Carrier. One of these is details the Speed Grade. This helps determine how long a particular carrier will take to deliver the package. It also helps the checkout area notate which carriers are the fastest. Setting the speed grade in PrestaShop 1.5 is very simple.

**To set a Carrier’s Speed Grade in PrestaShop 1.5:**

1. [Log into your PrestaShop 1.5 dashboard](/support/edu/prestashop/login-to-dashboard/)
2. Using the top menu bar, hover over the **Shipping **tab and select **Carriers **from the menu.[![shipping-tab-carriers](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/edu_prestashop1.5_shipping-carrier-speed-grade_shipping-tab-carriers.png)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/edu_prestashop1.5_shipping-carrier-speed-grade_shipping-tab-carriers.png)
3. From the **Shipping : Carriers** page, select the **Edit **icon (the one that looks like a paper and pencil) from your desired carrier’s row on the right.[![shipping-carrier-edit](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/edu_prestashop1.5_shipping-carrier-speed-grade_shipping-carrier-edit.png)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/edu_prestashop1.5_shipping-carrier-speed-grade_shipping-carrier-edit.png)
4. You are now on the **Shipping : Edit Carriers** page. Find the **Speed Grade** field. The rating is a bit ambiguous, but is set from 0-9. Carriers with a 0 rating are the slowest shippers and those with a rating of 9 are your fastest. Choose the rating that best fits your selected Carrier.

5. Once finished, click the green **Save** button in the upper right corner of the screen. In the screenshot below, you can see that setting the speed zone to 8 causes the competing carrier “My Carrier” to be notated as the fastest carrier.
