Box and Blooms review for Zapiet ‑ Pickup + Delivery
Feb. 16, 2026
I use Zapiet – Delivery by Postcode to calculate delivery fees based on regional zones, with all orders shipped from a single warehouse. The main issue is that Zapiet requires customers to enter and validate their postcode on the cart page before they can proceed to checkout. According to support, this step cannot be hidden or skipped. Because the app calculates delivery rates, preparation times, and available dates based on the postcode, the system needs this information upfront to generate accurate options for the customer. While this setup ensures rates and delivery dates are correctly applied, it does create an extra step for customers in the cart. Stores that prefer calculating rates only after the address is entered at checkout usually combine Pickup + Delivery with a separate rates app (e.g., Rates by Zip Code), but this requires managing two apps together. Overall, Zapiet works reliably for zone-based delivery, but the postcode validation step is unavoidable if you want accurate, zone-specific pricing and scheduling.
Hi Dan, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. From your description, it sounds like you may be referring to ShipZone. If so, the review might have been posted on the wrong listing, as we are Zapiet. We’d be happy to confirm this with you. Within our app, the cart widget needs the customer’s postcode before checkout so we can identify which delivery zone applies. Zones can have different rates, preparation times, and date availability, so without validation we wouldn’t know which settings the calendar should follow or which rate to generate at checkout. For transparency, this requirement is also documented in our official guide for setting up zone-based delivery schedules: https://support.zapiet.com/en/articles/6315355-creating-zone-based-delivery-schedule-and-pricing If a store prefers rates to be calculated only after the address is entered at checkout, merchants typically use Pickup + Delivery together with a rates app such as Rates by Zip Code. That approach works, but it requires using two separate apps. We understand every store wants the smoothest possible flow, and we’d love the chance to review your setup and help you find the best option.
