The satchels that I am referring to from Australia Post is listed here,many people use these prepaid satchels: [ auspost.com.au/parcels-mail/prepaid-satchels.html](http://auspost.com.au/parcels-mail/prepaid-satchels.html) I have Australia Post set to Express Post only, but it automatically comes up with the price for the other Express Post envelopes. When I test it gives a price of $9.90, that price matches up with this table: [ auspost.com.au/media/documents/expresspo...tas-T1-31mar2014.pdf](http://auspost.com.au/media/documents/expresspost-easy-guide-ms154-tas-T1-31mar2014.pdf) The website is under development, but you can view and test it here: [ 101.0.115.100/~irlendys/index.php/store](http://101.0.115.100/~irlendys/index.php/store) I have attached the Australia Post setup.

Thanks Shane")* Hi Mohamed & Lene, Lene's issue is the same as my issue that I described at the very start of this topic. The Australia post API was changed last year and now includes many more options, one of which is the "Prepaid Satchels" option for various size bags. Mohamed you will find all the information about the new Australia post API (PAC) & links to the Australia Post developer website which also details the new Australia Post server address to use for accessing this new API, in my original post.
