Returns how much you'll expect to pay to send a parcel, given the shipping details and your current plan.
You'll receive one quote for each shipping product Sendle supports for the given route. Products are separated by details like service type (e.g. Standard vs Express) and first-mile option (whether a driver will pickup the parcel or the sender will drop it off at a valid Sendle location).
You can get quotes for both domestic and international shipments. There are two international services offered by Sendle:
- Sendle Duties Unpaid (DAP): from Australia and the United States to many countries around the globe, or from Canada to the United States. Duties & taxes are not included in these service quotes. This means that your receiver may be subject to paying import duties on receiving the parcel. We cannot ship to some countries with the DAP service.
- Duties Paid (DDP Price Guaranteed): from Australia to the United States, with more supported countries coming soon. Duties & taxes are included in quotes made with this service.
Since this is a POST
request, the params need to be sent in the body of your request as a JSON object. Fill out some fields below and see how the data is sent in the request example box.
If you need more information on GET vs POST requests, the Mozilla MDN has a nice summary.
Here are a few things to keep in mind while using this endpoint:
- Filter the returned list according to the user’s configuration (e.g. your integration may select whether to show the pickup or drop off “Sendle Standard” product).
- Display all valid quotes with the included product names (e.g. “Sendle Standard”, “Sendle Express”).
- Look at the Parcel Weights and Dimensions page for advice on parcel sizes.
- Look at the First Mile page to see how parcels enter our mail network.
- We decide which currency to return based on where the parcel is being sent from, so
AUD
for Australian,CAD
for Canadian, andUSD
for U.S. parcels. This is the currency you'll be charged in. - The ETAs returned by this endpoint are the number of business days until the parcel should be delivered.
When sending international orders via the Duties Paid (DDP Price Guaranteed) service:
- Only the POST version of this endpoint supports Duties Paid (DDP Price Guaranteed) for international shipments.
- 10-digit HS codes (in
parcel_contents
) are required for each item being shipped to determine accurate duties and taxes. Senders can lookup 10-digit codes here.
