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. 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 lots 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)

You have to keep contacting customers and confirm the addresses, it brings down your operation efficiency. We get it done automatically 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.

To be eligible for calculated shipping rates, you can

  • subscribe to Basic Shopify Plan Annually or Shopify Plan Annually
    • If calculated shipping rates is not enabled while you are on annual plans, you can contact Shopify Customer Service to enable it manually.
  • subscribe to Advanced Shopify and above (Shopify Plus) billed either monthly or annually

Please note, the rates are calculated by product weight only

  • 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.
