TellShip Rates prices your Australian shipping at checkout, using Australia Post's published retail prices as the starting point. You do not need a carrier account, and nothing has to be negotiated before you start.
What a customer sees
At checkout, a customer sees shipping prices that reflect where the parcel ships from, where it is going, what it weighs, and the service they pick — Standard or Express. You control all of it: the zones, the prices, the services on offer.
What you control
- Zones by postcode. Different prices for different parts of Australia — Creating a delivery zone.
- The prices themselves. Type them, or fill them from Australia Post's published prices and adjust from there.
- A markup and rounding, applied across the board, under Settings.
What you do not need
- No carrier-calculated shipping plan. Your prices are written into your Shopify shipping settings as ordinary rates, so they work on every Shopify plan.
- No packaging setup, if everything you send is under 5 kg — see Do I need to set up packaging?
Where to start
The setup guide walks the first hour: weights on your products, a zone, prices, publish, test.
