The Story
In October 2019, Idries Erfan and Luke Tritton decided to put all of their money and time into building an app. Why? Idries realised that sending parcels abroad was very expensive and time-consuming. He envisioned an app that made that less of a problem. He called up his friend Luke who was running a business selling products on Amazon.
Our Promise
We promise to make sending parcels better and more sustainable. That’s all we try to do every day.
Mule Bag
The Mule bag allows small businesses and individuals to send parcels at the same rates that only the big retailers have access to. You put your parcels in a bag and send it to our freight forwarder. The bag is opened and the parcels are sent to their individual destinations around the world.
Prerequisites
To enable you to focus on a data mapping workflow, MuleSoft recommends completing a few setup tasks.
Step Two: Create and Configure a Mule 4 App
Now we’ll add the elements required to fetch data from an API and transform it into a different structure using DataWeave.
Step Three: Create and Test a DataWeave Data Transformation
Now that we have a Mule app that works and is listening to the Training: American Flights API, we’ll add a Transform Message component and use the DataWeave drag-n-drop interface to define a transformation from Mule object into JSON.

Amazing customer service
Initially used them as it was a great option to find the cheapest shipping costs for my eBay items but after an issue with a delivery, I have been hugely surprised how helpful they have been in regards to customer service. Would definitely recommend
Using it for my online shop
Using it for my online shop. I've been able to save a lot of money on international shipping. Customers have also been amazed at how quickly some of the express shipments have been arriving (1 day for some places in the US).
Excellent customer service
Had to return an item to eBay, and used Mule to book the courier. Unfortunately it got damaged in transit, DHL was the courier, and after first trying with DHL I was directed to get a refund with Mule, as they arranged it.
I save so much money with Mule
I save so much money with Mule. International shipping is 50% cheaper than Royal Mail which is ridiculous considering how they use the exact same shipping lanes. Everything was hassle-free and really nice feel to the products
Compatibility
Mule 4 applications are compatible with the following Anypoint Studio and Mule Maven Plugin versions:
Mule Application Structure Reference
At design time, your Mule application must have at least these three basic components:
Source Directory Reference
The src directory has two main folders: main and test. The plugin does not consider any other directory inside src when packaging the application.
Package a Mule Application
From the command line in your project’s folder, execute the package goal:
Create an Application Package to Import into Anypoint Studio
To generate a JAR file that can be imported into Anypoint Studio, you must package your application using the -DattachMuleSources parameter to include source files and metadata that Studio requires to reimport the deployable file as an open Mule project into your workspace.
Create a Lightweight Package
You can skip bundling the actual modules and external dependencies required to run the Mule application in a Mule runtime engine, and create a lightweight package with only the source files and metadata required to import the JAR package back into Anypoint Studio.
Specify Multiple Parameters
You can also combine the parameters together to create a lightweight Mule application package that also includes the source files and metadata to import the package back into Anypoint Studio.
