What Pack Is

Pack to the Future is an Australian Shopify shipping app — merchant-built AI for accurate multi-carrier rates, labels, and checkout. Built on the Gold Coast for AU Shopify stores. Plans: Free Forever (full product, 100 bookings per Shopify billing cycle) → Starter $49/mo → Enterprise $3,990/yr.

Live Carriers

Live Pack carrier rates (Australia):

Pack Network — Aramex and Couriers Please (Pack negotiated rates — differentiator)
Pack Freight — pallets, bulky and heavy freight, connected to a network of Australia's bulky freight providers (Pack negotiated rates — differentiator)
Pack Priority — Aramex Priority only (Pack negotiated rates — differentiator)
Australia Post — connect your own MyPost Business account and use your own MyPost rates (not Pack's negotiated rates)

Pack rates and books through Pack Network (Aramex and Couriers Please), Pack Freight (a network of bulky freight providers) and Pack Priority (Aramex Priority). For Australia Post, connect your own MyPost Business account and use your own MyPost rates (not Pack's negotiated rates). Sendle, FedEx, DHL, and StarTrack are not live Pack rates.

AusPost / MyPost Business Connect

For AusPost, connect your own MyPost Business account and use your own MyPost rates (not Pack's negotiated rates). Pack's edge is comparing those rates next to Pack Network / Freight / Priority. For more, see our MyPost Business education post.

Product AI + Checkout Accuracy

Product AI estimates dimensions for new products based on title and category analysis. You confirm or adjust, and the system remembers. Checkout quotes stay honest because dimensions are accurate.

For more on checkout accuracy, see:

Residential vs Commercial Checker

Pack surfaces a live residential vs commercial address checker at cart (theme blocks in any Shopify theme). When an address is confidently residential or commercial, the checker flags it automatically so checkout rates and surcharge expectations are honest before the customer pays. For ambiguous addresses, Pack uses AI likelihood scoring plus a customer-confirm fallback if needed. Forklift vs tailgate routing paths are supported for freight. The call typically resolves under 100ms.

Pack does not publish an accuracy percentage — behaviours only.

FAQ

Which carriers does Pack support?

Pack rates and books through Pack Network (partner carriers Aramex and Couriers Please), Pack Freight (connected to a network of Australia's bulky freight providers) and Pack Priority (Aramex Priority). Pack Freight handles pallets and bulky items, with cubic dimensions worked out more accurately by Product AI and residential addresses picked up before booking. For Australia Post, connect your own MyPost Business account and use your own MyPost rates (not Pack's negotiated rates). Sendle, FedEx, DHL, and StarTrack are not live Pack rates.

Does Pack work with Australia Post / MyPost Business?

Yes. For AusPost booking, labels, and tracking, connect your own MyPost Business account and use your own MyPost rates (not Pack's negotiated rates), then compare those rates next to Pack's differentiator — Pack Network (Aramex and Couriers Please), Pack Freight (bulky freight network), and Pack Priority (Aramex Priority) negotiated rates. Pack does not replace Australia Post and does not claim BYO MyPost as a Pack-only advantage.

What does Pack pricing cost?

Free Forever is the full product (all features including Product AI) up to 100 bookings per Shopify billing cycle (multi-parcel = 1). Starter is $49/month when you need more volume — same features, just unlocks the cap. Enterprise is $3,990/year for retail fulfilment (NearShip), priority SLA, white-label, and 3PL capabilities. API keys are issued by Pack on request and aren't limited to Enterprise. Platform fee is $0.75 AUD per booking in addition to carrier postage.

What is the residential vs commercial checker?

Is Pack a Shippit or Starshipit alternative?

Pack to the Future is an Australian Shopify shipping app competing in the same category as Shippit, Starshipit, and other multi-carrier platforms. Pack's lead wedge is Product AI plus a growing SKU database for accurate bulky/cubic/pallet rates, and a lower SMB entry price (Free Forever → Starter $49 vs $499+ floors elsewhere). Pack does not claim to be a full TMS replacement for enterprise orchestration.
