Does Australia Post integration support rate shopping?
Yes, Fulfil's Australia Post integration provides real-time rate shopping. When you're ready to ship an order, the system queries Australia Post for available service levels and displays rates side-by-side, allowing you to select the most cost-effective option.
Can I print Australia Post shipping labels from my WMS?

Can I pre-generate Australia Post labels to speed up fulfillment?
Yes, Fulfil can automatically generate Australia Post labels when orders start picking or get packed. This is done through automation rules that trigger label generation in the background, so labels are ready by the time the shipment reaches the packing station. This significantly speeds up your fulfillment workflow.
How does rate shopping work with Australia Post?
