account and manage your delivery.

### [Great Plugin and Support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-and-support-1923/)
[anth010](https://profiles.wordpress.org/anth010/) April 22, 2026
The product works well and is doing exactly what we need it to, we purchased the
pro version so we could have a few more options and we are glad we did.Very happy
with the support we received responsive and extremely helpful, they go out of their
way to assist where they can.
### [Great Support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-support-6400/)
[Flick](https://profiles.wordpress.org/felicity_gilbertson/) November 4, 2025
This is a comprehensive plugin for Australia Post shipping and labels. It’s saved
my clients hours in managing their sites shipping. The support is great, thorough
and quick as well. Thank you!
### [Show realtime shippment cost and great customer support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/show-realtime-shippment-cost-and-great-customer-support/)
[angkororg](https://profiles.wordpress.org/angkororg/) April 16, 2025
Great plugin to assist with my woocommerce, especially it is only a once off payment
and free customer support, on this note thank you Akash for taking the time to assist
me with the installation. Overall, it is a big thumbs up from me.
### [Plugin doesn’t work – tested over 5hrs](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-doesnt-work-tested-over-5hrs/)
[sprocketau](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sprocketau/) April 9, 2025
Here’s the issues we had. Support were unable to assist: Packing based on total
order weight – does not work but we can achieve the same result with “Pack items
into boxes” and Group shipping: “off” + a dummy box to hold the whole order (external
dims/weight 1x1x1/0, internal dims/weight 9999x9999x9999/9999) – only then do we
receive our account rates. Estimated delivery date is returned from the API but
does not show to the customer – this will increase customer enquiries and lead to
some abandoned carts due to confusion or indecision – this can be overcome by ticking“
only show cheapest rate” but is not ideal and we would prefer a fix. Mismatch between
Suburb, State, Postcode does not display an error message – no shipping options
are shown, and the customer can’t proceed with their purchase – (this is a significant
deal-breaker as it will exponentially increase abandoned carts and customer enquiries–
resulting in more work for us) – the Startrack API does return an error (as this
is displayed in a plugin we use on a different platform), but Elex chooses to ignore
it. An even better solution than returning an error, would be to just return the
max rate for that Suburb or Postcode, and allow the customer to proceed (as when
customers enter the wrong postcode it’s usually a neighbouring one so rates should
be similar anyway).
### [Best Australia Post Shipping plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/best-australia-post-shipping-plugin/)
[steveagius](https://profiles.wordpress.org/steveagius/) May 11, 2024
I have been using the Elex Australia Post Shipping Plugin for years and it is a
must have for any Australian Woocommerce store. Their customer service is very friendly
and can fix complex problems quickly and efficiently. I would highly recommend this
plugin to every Australian Woocommerce store using Australia Post to ship their
products both locally and internationally.
### [This is the one to get for Australia Post](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/this-is-the-one-to-get-for-australia-post/)
[robaxxx](https://profiles.wordpress.org/robaxxx/) March 18, 2024
Have had the paid version for a year and no issues. When we did need help with something
I was happy to find that the support is quick and willing. I initially chose this
one because the free version provides international shipping rates. However, combined
shipping/packaging does require the full version. Has lots of other features we
aren’t using, but am happy to have them in case we do. Nice plugin overall.
