# Result

* Returns a list of supported carrier methods.
* Each carrier has:
  * `carrierMethodId`: A unique internal identifier
  * `carrierMethodName`: The carrier’s name
  * `carrierMethodType`: Service type (for example, `GROUND`)
* `carrierMethodDescription`: This type of shipping is for your carrier (for example, UPS Ground, FedEx, 2Day, or USPS Priority Mail)
* These values are used when:
  * Configuring fulfillment centers
  * Associating 3PL nodes
  * Setting carrier services under Simplified Shipping Settings
