What Is Better Shipping?
Better shipping lets you set suitable shipping rates so you are not out of pocket.
Better shipping gives you two distinct features that enable you to take full control over how much you charge for shipping.
Do you have specialty items that take extra care to ship? Do you have multiple suppliers who charge flat shipping for items? Use Better Shipping to set the shipping rate accordingly.
Using 'per product' shipping prices lets you set shipping prices for each one of your products. This means that you can set $5.00 shipping for one of your products, $7.50 for another one, and have free shipping on a third product - it's up to you!
You also have the option for tiered shipping. This means that you can set multiple shipping rates for an item depending on the quantity the customer buys. Want to charge $10 for the first item, and then $5 for every extra item? Better Shipping has you covered!
Need to charge different shipping rates for different areas? Hard to deliver to area? Set the shipping rates based on the zip/post code.
Using the delivery areas feature you are able to set the shipping rate for individual zip/post code. This is great if you need to charge different rates for different areas or have a certain area that is expensive to deliver to.
You can also use the delivery areas feature to restrict delivery to only certain areas. Only send your products to certain zip/post codes? No problem! These restrictions can be implemented without any hassle to you or your customers.
Should I Be Using Better Shipping In My Store?
Better Shipping is perfect for anyone who:
- Needs to set individual shipping prices for every product
- Needs to set tiered (multiple) shipping prices for every product
- Has multiple drop shipping suppliers who charge different shipping rates
- Needs to charge additional postage amounts to specific areas and locations
- Needs to restrict postage to ONLY specific locations
- Needs to bulk update their per product shipping by product type, collection, or vendor
- Or if you want the flexibility and availability to take full control over your Shopify shipping
Being able to set individual shipping prices is essential if you have multiple suppliers and/or drop ship any of your products.
How does it work?
Better Shipping calculates shipping rates based on the customer’s zip or post code and the items they order. A customer ordered a fragile antique? Drop shipping supplier uses flat shipping rates? Need to deliver fresh food afar? No problem! Better Shipping allows you to set suitable rates so you are not out of pocket.
Features:
- Per Product Shipping Rates - Set a different flat shipping rate for every single product in your store. No need to worry about weight or dimensions.
- Location based shipping prices - Set shipping prices for specific areas using zip/post codes.
- Restrict delivery to certain locations - Do you only deliver to certain locations? Set them up so that your customers can only ship to those areas.

amazing app
Fantastic support staff. I had a small problem recently which was rectified pretty much straight away. Great app.
This guys are extremely take caring. I had an issue and was extremely angry with them but they work untiringly until solve and amend the error, they keep track of my problem even days later.
I will never give this app less then 5star. I understand that this is a lot of work to download app and make it work, me too were having Soo many hickups with making it work but peter (admin person) was helping me with each step and now it is working with no problem. This app made my store and life Soo easy going. It is a Must have app.
This app is disappointing because it requires real time shipping which is an upgrade you need to purchase in order to use this? I really believed this would be the app to use but I'm sadly looking for alternatives to this.
Awesome App!
Easy app to get started with shipping rates. complex rule building available. www.bvsydney.com
Customer service is phenomenal! Very new to using Shopify and this app works like a charm.
Functional and reliable
Good app but a bit on the expensive side. That's why we gave four start. Actually, we are not using the full functionality. Maybe it appears a bit expensive to us simply because we only take advantage of one benefit this app offers. Anyway, overall, great app.
