Future Fusion Online review for AMP: Australia Post Shipping
April 29, 2024
I would suggest only using the Lite plan of this app. We've been using it for a couple of years for shipping rates at checkout and it was all good until recently we tried upgrading to the Basic plan. The "ETA shown with shipping rates" feature doesn't work quite well for international orders - it shows longer time than Australia Post's website. Another big problem we had was updating packagings. Our shipping rates were down for a day on a weekend so I had to email the support team and waited till Monday - yes, their app is handling such an important step of online shopping and it charges quite a lot but they are not 24/7, not even supporting you on weekends. After their response I realised there's a really CRITICAL thing that you should always set up a packaging for customer checkout and it has to be "your own packaging" with clear dimensions of L/W/H, otherwise no shipping rates will show at checkout. We took a lot of efforts to finally figure out the details not mentioned for making shipping rates work, however this is not clearly stated in instructions! All these frustrating things we had made us downgrade back to the cheapest one...
Hi team! We appreciate your long-term use of the app and the feedback. We’re always striving to improve, and we’re sorry to hear the ETA feature didn’t work well for international orders, the ETA's do come from the Australia Post API rather than the public ETA on their website so unfortunately we aren't able to edit them at this stage. We can see you’ve downgraded to the Lite plan, but if you ever reconsider upgrading again, feel free to reach out—we’ll be happy to support you through the setup to ensure everything works smoothly. - Laura @ Team AMP
