About delivery options for Australia Post

Australia Post has three delivery options:

• Authority to Leave (Safe Drop): A signature and name will still be captured when your customer is at home. If they are not at home, the parcel will be left in a safe place if one is available, or a notification card left and the parcel taken to a nearby Post Office if no safe place is available
• Authority to Leave (Safe Drop) can be requested by receiver: A signature and name will be captured when your customer is at home. If they are not at home, the parcel will only be left in a safe place if your customer has requested this during the delivery process (through MyPost or through an invitation if they receive email tracking notifications). In all other cases, a notification card will be left and the parcel taken to a nearby Post Office.
• Signature Required (card if not home): A signature and name will always be captured and the parcel will be taken to a nearby Post Office if your customer is not at home to sign for the parcel.

Wine Services options
The Australia Post shipment logic assigns service code 82 specifically when a package is marked as Authority to Leave (ATL) and uses one of the alcohol product codes (3O85, 3P85, 3V85, 7O35, 7O85). The code defaults alcohol shipments to 81, but switches to 82 when ATL is true; disabling ATL or enabling safe drop yields other codes instead.

E.g To make all orders use code 82, ensure Australia Post packages are created with one of the alcohol product codes above and that ATL is set on each package. That combination will force Starshipit to generate code 82 for those shipments.
