Hi all, any suggestions on an integrated shipping solution for selling products online to any location in the world. Products will be setup with weight, volume etc that needs to show transport price to customers as they shop. Products from a couple of kg to ugly parcels and full pallets.

We have been briefly talking to Metapack and Parcel Hero but not yet found an ideal solution?

Note this process won’t really work with a single courier, it needs to be an intermediary that handles the data and offers the best solution based on weight, volume or location. Sending in the relevant courier to collect.

Thanks.

Any fulfillment company should be able to do this really. Take a look at linnworks.com it's order management and multi-channel selling software. You can send all your orders automatically to a fulfillment company for them to deal with the postage. Linn will integrate with most eCommerce platforms.

The one I use can ship via royal mail/ups/yodel etc etc etc.
