MyPost Business shipments can be processed in the same way as any other courier on Starshipit.
MyPost Business orders do not require manifesting. All charges (credit card or business accounts) are applied as soon as the label is printed, and orders move straight to the Shipped tab.
Learn more about printing labels on Starshipit.
Two label sizes are available for domestic shipments:
- 100x150mm (A6)
- Four A6 labels on an A4 sheet
For international shipments:
- CN23 (A5) labels printed on A4 paper
Credit card / debit card
Each time you print a MyPost Business label, your credit card is charged by Australia Post as one transaction. If you print labels individually, each print appears as a separate transaction. If you bulk print, the charges are consolidated into one transaction.
Charge account
Each time you print a label, the amount is added to your MyPost Business charge account. You can then make payments to your account outside of Starshipit.
To set up a charge account:
- Go to Settings > Couriers > MyPost Business Settings.
- Click Lookup next to the Account Number field.
- Click Select next to the row with Account Type “Charge”.
- Click Save.
Only payments made by credit or debit card can be refunded online. Charge account customers must contact Australia Post Customer Service to request a refund.
MyPost Business shipments must be cancelled from within the MyPost Business portal.
- Log into the MyPost Business dashboard.
- Click the Track tab.
- Find the shipment you want to cancel, then click View.
- Click Refund in the top right.
If the Refund button is not displayed, the shipment is ineligible. See the MyPost Business Support section in the portal for a full list of reasons.
For charge account refunds, you need to lodge a case with Australia Post directly.
