parcelpost.module

parcelpost.module provides you with an easily-integrated routine for calculating Australia Post parcel post charges to any postcode within Australia.

To calculate the Australia Post parcel post charges, you provide the source and destination postcode, the weight of the parcel in grammes, the volume of the parcel (for bulky parcels) and whether to get charges for parcel post of Express service. The Australia Post charge is returned.

This routine implements all of the special cases and exceptions for parcels up to 20 kg (Australia Post does not accept parcels over 20 kg), including light parcels, bulks parcels, intrastate deliveries, Norfolk Island special charges and least values for borderline postcodes.

parcelpost.module has been updated to the latest rates as at September 2006, and will be updated with each A.P. revision of rates (usually annual).
