Hi Guys,

I have read in detail about the insurance options. It seems that charging insurance based on the location of the buyer is not possible currently.

I have spoken to the tech department at AUSPOST and they have suggested the following, It seems its doable

Can the following code be added,

Can you confirm if you were using the Retail Postage Calculator or one tied to an eParcel account?

For the Retail/Postage Assessment calculator, the insurance price can be retrieved using the “Calculate” endpoints (/domestic/calculate).
For example,
https://digitalapi.auspost.com.au/postage/parcel/domestic/calculate.json?from_postcode=3000&to_postcode=3000&length=20&height=10&width=20&weight=5.04&service_code=AUS_PARCEL_REGULAR&option_code=AUS_SERVICE_OPTION_STANDARD&suboption_code=AUS_SERVICE_OPTION_EXTRA_COVER&extra_cover=300

This should return the total cost and the breakdown of each of the costs.

{
"postage_result": {
"service": "Parcel Post",
"delivery_time": "Delivered in 2 business days",
"total_cost": "15.05",
"costs": {
"cost": [
{
"item": "Parcel Post",
"cost": "10.55"
},
{
"item": "Standard Service",
"cost": "0.00"
},
{
"item": "Extra Cover",
"cost": "4.50"
}
]
}
}
}

You’ll need to add the following parameters
Domestic
- option_code: AUS_SERVICE_OPTION_STANDARD or AUS_SERVICE_OPTION_SIGNATURE_ON_DELIVERY (depending if you want signature on delivery as well
- suboption_code : AUS_SERVICE_OPTION_EXTRA_COVER
- extra_cover: the insurance value amount

International
- option_code: INT_EXTRA_COVER
- extra_cover: the insurance value amount
