Setting up Aus Wide Freight Pricing

[j0anne04]

I have been looking at established ezimerchant websites. I noticed on Country Brewer they have specified postage costs for each state as well as metro and country for each state. (see here: http://www.countrybrewer.com.au/webcontent54.htm) I want to be able to specify a price per state also - however ezimerchant only has the option for local & domestic.

How do I go about it? Has anyone used the built in Australia Post calculator with sucess? most stories i've heard wern't too great about it so i'm hoping to avoid it unless someone tells me otherwise.

Anyones help is greatly appreciated.

Also wanted to ask if anyone has experience exporting from ezimerchant to MYOB? thats the accounting package my client already uses - from what i've read on here it cant be done as easily as quickbooks? or can it?

Countrybrewer add the postage to the order after it is recieved - this is not ideal.

The Australia Post Calculator is post code and country accurate - I cannot see why you would not want to use it if you post your goods this way!

ezimerchant Pro does not export to MYOB. See other area on this forum for Quickbooks integration.

is the australia post calculator reliable and accurate? my concern is that the it will not work and i will lose customers through failure of their order, or that it wont include postage in the total price. but i haven't yet found someone who uses this method to speak to about it -- do you have many people using it at current?

Accurate? Its the same as if you looked up the costs in the post book!
