Project description:
"Scope: Configure postcode-based shipping rules in our Shopify store (Australia), including multiple service levels (e.g., Simple Delivery vs White-Glove) with prices that vary by postcode—even within the same state.

What we need

Postcode-based pricing within a state.
Example: In NSW, Price X for one set of postcodes, Price Y for other postcodes in the same state.

Multiple shipping options at checkout (visible only where available):

Simple Delivery

White-Glove (e.g., room-of-choice, unpack, assembly, rubbish removal)
Each option’s price must vary by postcode.

Rules & edge cases

Show only the services available for the customer’s postcode.

Clean fallback/default when a postcode isn’t mapped.

Optional surcharges for bulky/oversized items.

Ability to set free-shipping thresholds (if applicable).

Exclusions (e.g., PO Boxes or remote postcodes) where needed.

Admin-friendly management

We want a clear way to update prices/postcode lists later (ideally via CSV/spreadsheet or well-documented UI).

Deliverables

Working checkout rates matching our postcode matrix and service levels.

Postcode matrix setup (import or config) covering our target states/postcodes.

Documentation (short Loom/video or PDF) showing how to:

Edit prices and postcode coverage

Add/remove postcodes and service levels

Maintain surcharges and exclusions

Testing plan + test results: prove correct rates shown for sample postcodes across each state/service.

Rollback/Safe-guard: backup of current settings and a quick revert path.

Tech expectations (choose best-fit)

We’re open to native Shopify + Shipping Profiles or a proven app for complex logic. Please recommend based on our needs:

Native options: Shipping Profiles, zones, product-based profiles for bulky items, address validation rules.

App candidates (examples): Intuitive Shipping, Advanced Shipping Rules, Bespoke Shipping, ShipperHQ.

Preference for a solution that supports postcode groups, CSV import, rule stacking, and clear condition logic.

Nice to have

Experience with Australian postcodes and furniture/white-glove workflows

Familiarity with Shopify Markets and tax/shipping nuances

Ability to add distance-based or store-pickup later (future phase)

What to include in your proposal

Please reply with:

Relevant work samples (live Shopify stores or screenshots) specifically showing postcode-based or multi-service shipping.

Your approach (brief)

Native vs app—why and trade-offs (accuracy, maintainability, performance, cost).

How you’ll structure postcode groups, service levels, and bulky surcharges.

How we’ll maintain the rules (CSV import, tagging, profiles, etc.).

Timeline & milestones (discovery, configuration, QA, handover).

Estimated budget (itemized: setup, testing, docs, handover).

Any app fees we should expect.

Guarantee/Support window for post-launch fixes.

Example data you’ll receive from us

A spreadsheet like:

State Postcode(s) / Ranges Service Price Notes
NSW 2000–2010 Simple $X
NSW 2000–2010 White-Glove $X+ Assembly included
NSW 2011–2199 Simple $Y
NSW 2011–2199 White-Glove $Y+ Stairs surcharge applies

List of bulky SKUs (for surcharge or separate profile)

Excluded postcodes / PO Boxes (if any)

Free-shipping thresholds (if any)

Acceptance criteria

Correct rates & options appear for every tested postcode/state combination.

Only eligible services show per postcode; others are hidden.

Clean fallback when a postcode isn’t mapped (no checkout dead ends).

Edit guide lets a non-developer update pricing/postcode groups in <10 minutes.

No negative impact on site speed or checkout reliability." (client-provided description)
