Pickup Information
This makes up the ‘from’ part of the shipping quote calculation – we just need the suburb and town.
In addition, in the ‘Tail Lift at Pickup’ field, you can enter an amount in kilograms; if any items in the cart are over this weight, the quote will allow for a tail-lift truck to collect the shipment.
Package Options
For shipping calculations, you need to set product weight and dimensions. If you configure Package Options calculations will default to those details if the item has no dimensions or weight.
Delivery Options
These options control how the package is delivered and what charges are applied.
Handling Type / Handling Fee allows you to add an additional amount to the shipping price – either a flat amount or as a percentage of the cart total.
Transport Assurance will cover the shipment against loss. You can specify a minimum amount (cart total) at which this will apply.
Receipted delivery will ensure that the recipient signs for the item.
Tail Lift Delivery, is set to ‘yes’, will specify a tail-lift delivery vehicle if any items are over 30kg.

Pickup Details
These revolve around where and how to shipments are collected – actual physical address, preferred collection window and tail-lift parameters. Set the Tail-Lift Truck setting to the maximum weight you can handle yourself – anything over that and we’ll prompt you to choose a tail-lift truck at fulfillment time.

Upping the stakes by adding fulfillment, product costs and shipping classes, the new OpenCart (v2) plugin brings all the latest innovations to merchants with OpenCart 1.5.
It does require vqMod, however. If that’s not possible for you, we’ve left the original plugin which just has simple real-time shipping quotes, available for download.
Here’s a quick walk-through of how it affects the user experience:
This plugin adds Smart Send’s Australian shipping to the WooCommerce e-commerce plugin.
After setting your preferences, customers can opt in for receipted delivery, transport assurance and/or request tail lift delivery. All of these factors affect shipping quotes.
The plugin then retrieves a list of delivery prices (usually increasing with faster delivery time) and presents them as options to the customer at checkout.
