1. How MyPost Business helps eCommerce merchants

Many people make the mistake of thinking that a business shipping account must only be available to large-scale companies shipping a large number of parcels. MyPost Business accounts are actually created for businesses of all sizes. You don’t have to ship a minimum number of packages to open an account, although the more you ship, the more significant discounts you will qualify for.

Discounts on the shipping costs

One of the main advantages of opening a MyPost Business account is that you get discounts on your shipment costs. Whether you are shipping 100 orders or 1000 orders you will get discounted rates. There are no minimum order numbers or order amount to enjoy the MyPost Business discounts. However, there are volume-based discounts, which means you’ll save more as soon as your delivery volume increases. 

No minimum or maximum number of orders

To use a MyPost Business account there is no minimum or maximum shipping criteria. Even if you are shipping 50 orders or more in a month you can use MyPost Business. 

Supports Domestic and International Shipping

For new Australian online merchants who are looking to expand their businesses, MyPost Business helps them achieve that by offering domestic and international shipping services.

MyPost Business Domestic Services: Express Post, Parcel Post

MyPost Business International Services: International Economy Air, International Post Standard, International Post Express

Carbon Neutral Delivery

Every MyPost Business delivery is carbon neutral. Also, the plastic satchels and parcel boxes are recyclable and made with recycled materials. So, MyPost is not just cost-effective but environment friendly as well.
