Hi Nic
Firstly I'm really impressed with the support for Hikashop and we are definatley moving forward with it as the shopping module for our site.

I did find something interesting just now when i tested the multiple shipping options.

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback. Indeed, the documentation will need a clean up one of those days ![:)](/media/kunena/emoticons/3.png ":)")

The post code is necessary for Aus post. If it's a wrong one, Aus post won't display.
However, unless the manual shipping methods are restricted to a post code range, having a post code or not, valid or not in the address, won't change the display of the manual shipping methods.
