Otherwise, you also have this plugin which support post code regexs so that you can enter more complex rules for post codes in your shipping methods so that you don't have to create tens/hundreds of shipping methods for all the possible ranges: [ brainforge.co.uk/shop/paid-downloads/hik...hopshipping\_bfmanual](https://brainforge.co.uk/shop/paid-downloads/hikashop-shipping-methods/product/5-plg_hikashopshipping_bfmanual) Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzI4LXNoaXBwaW5nLW1ldGhvZHMvODk3MjkyLXVzaW5nLXpvbmVzLXRvLXNldC1zaGlwcGluZy1wcmljZXM/dG1wbD1tYXJrZG93bg==) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[hlarocque](/forum/user/57562-hlarocque "View hlarocque's Profile")** - [![hlarocque's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/57562-hlarocque "View hlarocque's Profile") - [ Offline](/forum/user/57562-hlarocque) Less More - Posts: 31 - Thank you received: 0 - - 7 years 6 months ago [\#306342](#306342) by [hlarocque](/forum/user/57562-hlarocque "View hlarocque's Profile") Replied by *[hlarocque](/forum/user/57562-hlarocque "View hlarocque's Profile")* on topic *[Using zones to set Shipping prices](/forum/28-shipping-methods/897292-using-zones-to-set-shipping-prices#306342 "-- HikaShop version -- : 4.0.3 -- Joomla version -- : 3.9.4 -- PHP version -- : 7.2 -- Browser(s) name and version -- : Firefox 66.0.2 -- Error-message(debug-mod must be tuned on) -- : n/a Hi Nicholas, I have searched around but do not find a forum thread that covers my need, or a tutorial that you can maybe point me to.

I tried the min prefix postcode and the max prefix postcode but my postcode is not recognized. For example: Min : H4 Max : H5 H4 representing the prefix for all combinations Letter-Number-Letter-Number-Letter-Number beginning with H4 Is it possible that Canadian postcode cannot use the manual Hikashop shipping method?

For your example, you would have to enter "H" in the prefix, "H2R1" in the suffix, "4" in the min and "5" in the max and that would accept two post codes H4H2R1 and H5H2R1 If you want to accept all the H4 and H5 post codes regardless of what is after, that would require creating a lot of manual shipping methods so it's not a good solution. In that case, it's better you use brainforge's shipping plugin as I was explaining in my previous message.
