With Australia Post Shipping choose whether the delivery of the shipments should be done to specific countries or other countries.

With the ‘Cheapest Rates Option’, admin lets user opt for the shipping service with cheapest rates. Other services are not shown to the users. You can also set ‘Signature on Delivery’ and Extra Cover for your Shipments.
Shipping Rates Configuration
- There is an Australia post parcel rates module through which you can select attributes for dimensions of the product (length, width, height) and unit for weight. Set default values for the dimensions which are considered when the product's dimension is not set. These values help retailers to generate shipping rates easily.
Label Printing Service
- Admin can generate labels for orders after generating shipment for store orders. With the WooCommerce Label Printing Service, the merchant generates shipment labels having Australia Post logo in defined sizes and formats. For generating labels, merchants need to create a layout of the label for parcel and express post from available options. The generated label is then attached on the shipment.
Custom Boxes
- Admin can generate Custom boxes which are displayed if the package’s dimension and weight match with the defined custom box dimensions. Outer dimension can be used as a final package dimension. Here, box weight and product weight need to be lower than maximum allowed weight.

1. Firstly, feasibility of shipping one combined package of products is checked. If it is feasible, availability for custom boxes is checked. If it is enabled and available, the box’s outer dimensions are used as a package to fetch rates. Here final package weight is considered as the original package weight. The chosen custom-box weight must be lower than the custom-box.
2. If custom-box is disabled or unavailable and only one combined package of products is to be shipped, then the package dimension is used as the final dimension.
3. If one combined package of products can’t be shipped, the plugin checks if the individual packaging method is enabled or not and fetches individual rates for the same and displays it. Otherwise no rates will be displayed.
