Australia Post International Shipping options ??
Posted: Fri Aug 28, 2015 12:17 am
Hi Guys ,
Im new to openCart so pleases forgive me if I ask any dumb questions...
Im Setting up an online store (OzSurvivalGear.com.au) and i have a shipping question.
1.Currently I'm still setting up the store so I'm only using the local zone , Australia post extension built in OC.
I noticed tho that the embedded Auspost module does not have many options at all , Only Standard and express.
and the prices for standard say $7.95 for under 500grams doesn't cover my expenses for satchel and signature and insurance. I dont see any options to add these extra costs in the module.
2. Even though I'm currently going to setup for local, I do want to offer international postage once setup to certain countries. But I dont see that international options in the embedded Auspost module ?
I have found a way around this using weight based shipping module , where i would first have to research the costs to a certain country and set the costs up in weight based module (is this the only way ?)
I did search for Auspost extensions on the OC site and did see an Auspost calculator module
http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... search=AUS
Will this module answer all my concerns ? is it compatible with the latest version of OC 2.0.3.1 that i have , as it seems atm to only cover up to ver 2.0.2.0
Any help will be appreciated
