Big Cartel not importing phone numbers

Among the stores I manage are quite a lot of artists using Big Cartel.  I'm getting told off by both UPS and DHL for not supplying customer phone numbers when I ship out orders as they're not being imported by ShipStation.  A while back I talked to Big Cartel and they told me that their API does supply the phone number with orders and the hooks or whatever ShipStation need are there to get them.  I did put in a support case about this a while back but thought that as I'm still getting in trouble I might try posting about it here instead.

 

Given that most express couriers now insist on a phone number is it possible to prioritise this feature if, as they say, BigCartel are now forwarding that info.  I don't have the time to copy and paste a phone number into hundreds of orders.

This is really getting to be a major issue.  DHL and UPS are insisting on phone numbers and I'm running a load of Big Cartel stores now.  Copying and pasting phone number from every order is a tedious and unnecessary task.  

I've spoken to Big Cartel and their API is forwarding the phone number information on so it just needs Shipstation to add the functionality.  Please do!!
