Get your calculated Australia Post eParcel Shipping Rates for your customers
We run our own shop on Shopify so we understand your pain. Flat shipping rates either scar away customers or make a loss for you if you set shipping rates too low for regional shipping address.
What problems we solve for you with the app?
1. Tailored real time shipping rates give you the edge over your competitors and offer your customers better rates and convert more orders.
The app gets real time shipping rates quoted from your Australia Post eParcel account. Shipping rates are tailored for all customers no matter where they are. In this way, the checkout page shows more attractive rates for local customers without under charging remote inter state customers.
2. The app reminds your customers to correct their shipping addresses.
Though Shopify now allows using "google auto address" for customers validating their shipping address, you may still see a lot of incorrect addresses like below
1 ABC St, Sdyney, NSW 2015 (where Sdyney should be corrected to Alexandra)
2 XYZ St, VIC, VIC 3122 (where first VIC should be corrected to Hawthorn)
We feel the same pain like yours. To you have to keep contacting customers and confirm the addresses, it brings down your operation efficiency. We get it done properly for you. If the suburb doesn't match the postcode, our app will force them to correct it.
3. Configurable insurance and package cost
If you cover all shipping for your customers, you can configure how much extra you want to charge based on total value of all order items. You can also add extra cost to cover your packaging, labor and etc.
4. Sell to other countries to broaden our market coverage.
Are you not selling overseas just because there are too many rates and weights you need to set for various countries?
Are you worried that you set wrong rates and loose money on shipping to overseas customers?
Take it easy, the app does it automatically for you. All rates will be calculated based on your eParcel international rates and shown at the checkout page, for all countries can ship to.

Please note, the rates are calculated by product weight.
Due to Shopify limitation the app cannot calculate rates by dimension as Shopify does not allow to specify dimension for specific products thus no dimensions can be used to calculate shipping rates by weight.
