Description
This screen enables you to edit the Australia Post shipping method options. Shipping methods will be filtered on checkout based on the zone you set for them, if any. Then, they will be displayed to the user for him to choose which shipping method he prefers for his order.
The Australia Post supports several shipping methods: Air and Sea for international orders and Standard and Express for shipping inside Australia. Based on the shipping address of the customer, methods which don't apply will be filtered out.
Also, since the Australia Post has a weight limit of 20 kg and a volume limit of 0.18 m3, the system will calculate automatically the number of parcels needed for the shipping and display prices accordingly.
