Freight Rule - Australia Post

Freight Rule - Australia Post

This freight rule allows the website to generate a freight cost on an order based on Inzant sending the order information to Australia Post and receiving a cost to ship the order. The freight rule is configured on the “Checkout Shipping” widget to display on the front end website, and both account and public users can have different rules configured as required.

International standard, International Express, Domestic Standard & Domestic Express Australia Post freight rules are all supported. Should more than one option be configured the user will be able to swap between the rules with radio buttons, and check the cost with an “estimate” button.

Data Requirements

  • This freight rule relies on the product dimension and weight data being accurate to generate a cost, meaning all products should have a weight, height, width and depth stored.
  • This freight rule “boxes” the order into standard boxes, meaning a standard set of shipping box sizes will need to be provided to Inzant to configure the rule correctly.

 The following attributes are available for each rule;

  • Weight Factor
    • Applies a simple flat % increase to the weight of the total order – allowing for the compensation of packaging material at the admin users discretion (e.g. mark-up weight by 15%).
  • Volume Factor
    • Applies a simple flat % increase to the volume of the total order – allowing for the compensation of packaging material at the admin users discretion (e.g. mark-up volume by 25%).

 Please note that increases applied by the factors are not always linear as it could cause the order to “jump” into larger box sizes which require a much greater volume and increased cost. This is CMS configured and can be refined as required.

A “Default” postcode can be implemented on each different freight rule (Standard Domestic, Express Domestic etc.). This means when a user enters a postcode that doesn’t exist in the AusPost database (i.e. they mistype the postcode and include letters) then it will use the default postcode. Typically this will be a postcode that is expensive to ship to so as to guarantee covering unknown freight costs.
