Error - Do Until with iRows and kRows?

Hello! I have created a template Order Form that a user is to fill out. When they are done, they click a "Ship" button. That button opens up a workbook with a list of all of the Shipments placed through clicking that button and adds the new parts being ordered to the list. In addition, the Packing List is saved under its own file with a unique ShipNo.

The problem is that when the parts are being put into the new list, they are repeating over each other instead of adding to the list. So, if the list already has 3 parts in it and I add 3 more, those parts are overwritten by the new ones. My code is listed below. I placed green comments where I have tried different ideas. Sometimes it would add only one part to the list, sometimes it would add none. I need it to add all of them. Any help would be greatly appreciated

As of right now, is still also overwriting previous rows in the list. I've added an example order form and shipments list as attachments for help. Any ideas?
 

Excel Facts

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
Sorry, I cannot figure out how to upload the workbooks! So my code is listed above I hope that is enough

the code was fixed with:
Code:
[LEFT][COLOR=#333333][FONT=monospace] 
With Sheets("Shipments")
        kRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row + 1
End With
