Shopify shipping · UK and New Zealand
Shopify shipping that charges what delivery costs.
Flat rates and default zones lose money on heavy parcels, rural addresses and remote areas. We set up shipping rules that match what your courier actually charges.
Where shipping loses money
Rural delivery eats the margin
Couriers charge extra for rural addresses. If checkout doesn't, every rural order costs you.
Heavy items are underpriced
One flat rate for a phone case and a 30kg box. The big orders lose money.
Remote postcodes
The Highlands, islands and offshore areas cost more to reach. Rates should know that.
Free shipping that doesn't add up
A threshold set years ago that no longer covers what delivery costs.
Oversized and freight orders
Items that need a pallet or freight service, sold as if they fit in a satchel.
Rates don't match the courier bill
Checkout says one thing, the monthly invoice says another.
What we build
Work out the real cost, then build it into checkout.
We start from your courier's actual rates and your product weights and sizes, then build rules Shopify can apply at checkout. You stop absorbing the expensive orders, and customers see a fair price before they pay.
- Rate tables by weight, size and postcode
- Rural and remote surcharges
- Rules for oversized and freight-only items
- Carrier-calculated rates where the plan and courier support it
- Free shipping thresholds checked against real costs

Questions people ask
Do we need a higher Shopify plan?
Not usually. Carrier-calculated rates depend on your plan, but most stores get accurate prices from well-built rate tables.
Will customers see the right price at checkout?
Yes. That's the point: the price is worked out before they pay, not adjusted after.
Can you do this on WooCommerce?
Yes. Same thinking, different tools. See our WooCommerce support page.
Do you work with UK stores?
Yes. We set up shipping for stores across the UK and New Zealand.
