Video: The Australia Post logo sits at the top of a red screen. A brunette woman sits under the text, "eCommerce Jargon Busters: Automating Shipping Labels." She jerks her head and arms robotically.
Audio: Woman: Automating shipping labels. Out, out, out, out, out. Yes.
Video: The woman reads from a card that has an Australia Post logo on the back. Later, the text she's reading is typed onto a red background.
Audio: Woman: Those who use a shipping platform to manage deliveries can automate the printing of their shipping labels. This automation helps to save time and money on delivery tasks that used to be done manually.
Video: The woman nods.
Audio: Woman: That's handy.
Video: Before a red background a microphone hovers over a stool. An Australia Post card lies on the stool. Text reads, “eCommerce Jargon Busters. [Jah-gawn bust-uhz] noun + plural noun.”
The Australia Post logo appears just above the stool.
