OK, I can explain this, but I can't fix it, because it isn't broken.

Firstly, I assume you entered this same data into the fastway site, and recieved the following quotes as I did, namely. :

------------------------------------------------
Local BROWN/BLACK/BLUE/YELLOW $4.02 to 8.31
Satchel A3 Orange $4.29 *
-----------------------------------------

Now, see how the satchel is size A3? The max length item that will fit into an A3 satchel is 400mm (it is actually a less than that because if the satchel is near full we need to make an allowance so it can be sealed).. Anyway, assume the maximum is 400 ,,, the quote you asked for is for an item measuriing 450mm long - which means the item you are quoting for really won't fit into the satchel, therefore it will not be offered to the customer as a valid option, which is why it doesn't show.

I've no idea why Fastway don't offer A3/A2 as an option in this instance (as they do if it were a national delivery), because the item being quoted will fit into the A2 satchel (just)... perhaps it isn't offered because it is cheaper to use the 'local' rate than the larger satchel rates? Either way, A2 satchels do not appear to be a valid option for local delivery, and ozpost is reflecting this information.

Do you have any other examples?

Cheers
