Australia Post multi-package order splitting allows a single customer order to be shipped as multiple Australia Post packages without requiring manual partial fulfilments.

Why this matters

Australia Post does not natively support multiple packages under a single consignment.

Most shipping platforms require merchants to manually split orders, create partial fulfilments, or book shipments one package at a time.

This increases fulfilment time, creates room for error, and often results in confusing tracking for customers.

How Pack to the Future handles this

Pack to the Future automatically detects when an order cannot be shipped as a single Australia Post package.

The platform splits the order into multiple packages at booking time and creates separate Australia Post consignments behind the scenes.

All labels are generated in one flow and linked back to the original order.

What the merchant experiences

The merchant completes a single booking action.

Pack to the Future handles the package splitting, label creation, and consignment management automatically.

What the customer experiences

The customer receives multiple tracking numbers where required, with each package linked to the same order.

This avoids delayed shipments or partial fulfilment confusion.

When this is a good fit

Orders exceed Australia Post size or weight limits
Orders contain multiple large or bulky items
Merchants want to avoid manual partial fulfilments

When this may not be suitable

All products reliably fit within a single Australia Post package
A different carrier is preferred for oversized items

Constraints and considerations

Each package receives its own Australia Post tracking number
Carrier rules still apply to each individual package
Delivery timing may vary slightly between packages
