Introduction

 

Australia Post Shipping is helpful for merchants as they can use it for domestic and international shipping purposes. It provides functionality to post letters as well as parcels and automatically reflects any changes that take place in Australian Delivery Post rates. One can also calculate the rates for domestic and international rates as well as letters that are to be shipped from Australia to overseas. Once you integrate it, your customers can track the shipments through a provided shipment tracking id. Australia Post Shipping also enables the admin to generate labels for orders after generating shipment for store orders.
