This API allows you to calculate real-time shipping rates based on your contract pricing.

You can calculate rates for an individual item using the Get Item Prices API call, or for a collection of items using Get Shipment Price API calls. For StarTrack pricing, it is recommended you use the Get Shipment Prices method.

Use Get Shipment Price API if you're sending multiple items per shipment and already know the product you'll be using. This call will return the total price for the shipment including all discounts and features that have been included in your request.

The prices given by the API includes GST and are indicative of the actual price charged to the merchant by Australia Post. The actual price is calculated when the parcel is processed through the Australia Post delivery network.

Some merchants may choose to pass this pricing on to their customers directly or apply a discount or mark-up as they require. The displayed price mustn't be shown to the customer as the merchant's contracted pricing from Australia Post.
