Shopify Postcode Shipping & Services

Замовник: AI | Опубліковано: 17.10.2025

Scope: Configure postcode-based shipping rules in our Shopify store (Australia), including multiple service levels (e.g., Simple Delivery vs White-Glove) with prices that vary by postcode—even within the same state. What we need Postcode-based pricing within a state. Example: In NSW, Price X for one set of postcodes, Price Y for other postcodes in the same state. Multiple shipping options at checkout (visible only where available): Simple Delivery White-Glove (e.g., room-of-choice, unpack, assembly, rubbish removal) Each option’s price must vary by postcode. Rules & edge cases Show only the services available for the customer’s postcode. Clean fallback/default when a postcode isn’t mapped. Optional surcharges for bulky/oversized items. Ability to set free-shipping thresholds (if applicable). Exclusions (e.g., PO Boxes or remote postcodes) where needed. Admin-friendly management We want a clear way to update prices/postcode lists later (ideally via CSV/spreadsheet or well-documented UI). Deliverables Working checkout rates matching our postcode matrix and service levels. Postcode matrix setup (import or config) covering our target states/postcodes. Documentation (short Loom/video or PDF) showing how to: Edit prices and postcode coverage Add/remove postcodes and service levels Maintain surcharges and exclusions Testing plan + test results: prove correct rates shown for sample postcodes across each state/service. Rollback/Safe-guard: backup of current settings and a quick revert path. Tech expectations (choose best-fit) We’re open to native Shopify + Shipping Profiles or a proven app for complex logic. Please recommend based on our needs: Native options: Shipping Profiles, zones, product-based profiles for bulky items, address validation rules. App candidates (examples): Intuitive Shipping, Advanced Shipping Rules, Bespoke Shipping, ShipperHQ. Preference for a solution that supports postcode groups, CSV import, rule stacking, and clear condition logic. Nice to have Experience with Australian postcodes and furniture/white-glove workflows Familiarity with Shopify Markets and tax/shipping nuances Ability to add distance-based or store-pickup later (future phase) What to include in your proposal Please reply with: Relevant work samples (live Shopify stores or screenshots) specifically showing postcode-based or multi-service shipping. Your approach (brief) Native vs app—why and trade-offs (accuracy, maintainability, performance, cost). How you’ll structure postcode groups, service levels, and bulky surcharges. How we’ll maintain the rules (CSV import, tagging, profiles, etc.). Timeline & milestones (discovery, configuration, QA, handover). Estimated budget (itemized: setup, testing, docs, handover). Any app fees we should expect. Guarantee/Support window for post-launch fixes.
