You are very close, I think. I looked at each Decision Point, and I saw that a lot of them have two SendItem options used:

This would work fine, except none of the boxes have a Type label. There is a photo eye that is configured to set item type and color. However, because the block time is 2 seconds (and boxes do not block the photo eye for that long), that OnBlock code never fires:

So depending on what you want, you could reduce the Block Time, so that your boxes get a type, or you could just remove the second "Send Item" option, so that the Type is not needed.
