Parcelify: Shipping Rates

Life saver app. its unfortunate you cant pay month to month on shopify and get this app too. But i think that is a shopify thing.

I found this app a little confusing to understand first, but once I got the hang of it, it's been brilliant! It allows so much more flexibility than just the standard delivery options of Shopify.

Although not all inclusive, this add in does help you specify shipping based on specific attributes, such as weight, product sku, item price, etc.

There are a few drawbacks you should be aware of:

*This will NOT allow free shipping on one product, while charging for another in the same order - If one meets the criteria the entire order does (or if you set it to the reverse, if one fails the entire order fails to meet it)
*This will not incorporate the shipping estimates of other shippers, or even allow estimations based on a formula for location of recipient (outside of state or country codes, you can set the price with this...but manually, the value will remain as you set it and not change based on current rates. You can put a set rate for any country, individual state, or even zip code, but the process of creating an accurate price list would take so long that the rates would change before you finish). Great for known values on a few items, not so efficient for varying values on many items.
*There is absolutely NO automation, do not expect it to adjust to added or removed products, a new vendor, or changing shipping rates. This is entirely manually entered.
*There is a minor knowledge of formatting that is required, but not stated unless you look at the help page. IE: "exclude product sku: 1234, 3343, 4444" is incorrect, where "exclude product sku: (1234)|(3343)|(4444)" is correct, with no example or correction where it needs to be entered. Worse yet, it allows you to enter data incorrectly, and even saves it, but the desired result will not occur and no error is given.

Not going to lie, this app is a bit tough to figure out as far as setting up your shipping rates. Luckily their support staff is super helpful. Shout out to Alex M for helping me out thank you

The good tool still testing. Would love the simpler design.

AAAAARRRGH! Hours and hours of frustration!

Finally got the app to work but having given up and trying others they're much the same.

1. watch the video which is on getting started page (dev site) not docs where it should be and even then it leaves questions.

2. you have to have your countries set in Shopify's settings or the zones you create in the app won't work!

This really is something Shopify should provide and make it intuitive as it's pretty fundamental stuff!

Excelent free app!. The only thing missing for me is the possibility to restrict the shipping rate to the number of items on a given cart.

After adding a bunch of countries to Rest of World shipping zone, most of them disappear, although I continuously save it! Hope that it will not happen again. However, compared to Shopify's, this app really knows what shipping rules mean and should be.

Not the most 100% perfect solution for our needs, but once we simplified our shipping a little, this app was exactly what we needed to make it all happen :)

The support is awesome! Very friendly and helpful :) It's a shame that shopify causes so many issues with shipping, but it's nice to know the people at parcelify have our back!
