But not insurance. You can add a fixed fee for that maybe ?

You get regular parcel at $5 then satchel up to 500g at $7.20 and so on. The plugin doesn't give you that list. For example, on my site, I have an item that weighs 250g going from 4370 to 4129 and I get express at $9.20 and standard at $6.35. It should offer the satchel up to 500g at $7.20 but it doesn't. As for the insurance, I guess I could add a set fee but it wouldn't be exact as Australia post calculates insurance based on the value of the item. Is it possible to add a fixed fee based on the total price of the cart? Australia post is so complex with their fee structure that it is a nightmare!! thanks Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzQtaG93LXRvLzQxOTMyLXNhdGNoZWxzLXJhdGVzLW90aGVycy1pbi1hdXN0cmFsaWEtcG9zdC1wbHVnaW4/dG1wbD1tYXJrZG93bg==) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")** - [![nicolas's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar63.png?1793428657)](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") - [ Offline](/forum/user/63-nicolas) Less More - Posts: 86540 - Thank you received: 14299 - - 14 years 8 months ago [\#42460](#42460) by [nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") Replied by *[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")* on topic *[Re: Satchels rates & others in Australia Post plugin](/forum/4-how-to/41932-satchels-rates-others-in-australia-post-plugin#42460 "Hi Nicola, Australia Post offers satchels at usually cheaper rates than normal parcels.

HikaShop is just displaying the shipping methods proposed by the API of Australia Post and I just checked and there is no option to have more prices returned like prices for satchels. They also don't have any option to have the insurance fee calculated.
