UK Postcode shipping range

Hi

I'm trying to set up specific postage for some Scottish Islands.

One for example has postcodes beginning PA37 - PA39

However, if I try to ship to a test address with postcode PA37 1SE, it doesn't work. I already have a general United Kingdom shipping method at £3 and anything I try to get from the PA37 address defaults to that.

This is my settings, am I doing anything wrong?

Thanks, that was definitely part of the problem but it has still left me with an issue.

If I unpublish the postage rate to the whole UK (£3), the fix you gave me works. But if that postage rate is enabled, it takes priority.

OK, thanks.

Unfortunately it's going to be more complicated than that, the prefix letters determine the city/county and the number determines the district. So LA is for one Scottish island, every other city in the UK has a different letter.

So I guess I must make a postage option for every prefix individually.

Can I put multiple prefixes in, comma separated?

That has worked for me. Should be fine as long as the client does not decide to offer two postage types to Scottish Highlands!

Thanks for your help.

Got a bit of a problem actually

If you use a UK address, it will give you the £3 amount.

If you then go back, begin the checkout process again and change to Scotland, it stays at £3.

It's not too likely that somebody will have two addresses in different regions and also find this issue, so it's not an urgent problem, but it is definitely a bug.

I am using 1.5.4

When I first go to checkout, there is a shipping cost included in the total before I've chosen my address, is this normal? It's the cheaper one, which is last on the list of shipping methods. I don't think this was happening at first.

In fact it seems my £3 shipping option often seems to take priority no matter what. For example I gave it a maximum price of £99.99, and made a separate option with a minimum price of £100 and free delivery. If I add £150 worth of goods, it still selects the £3 option.



I started on an earlier version and updated if that makes any difference? I also started on the free version and upgraded to Essential.

Thanks for your help so far

Could I PM you access to the CMS, would that be enough to see what's wrong?

Thanks, that solved the issue where the Free Shipping was not taking priority.

However I still have the problem where if you change address after creating your basket, the shipping method does not change. This also means that the Free Shipping is applied before the address is selected, and then takes priority even when you choose an address which should override the free option.

To summarise, this is what we're trying to do:

Shipping Options 1-12 - £27.98
Various specific postcodes within UK

Shipping Option 13 - Free on orders over £100
Does not apply to above postcodes

Shipping Option 14 - £6.99
Anywhere else in the UK

If you spend over £100, you get option 13, regardless of which address you select, but we need any address from options 1-12 to override this.

If you select a UK address, you get option 14. If you then go back and change address to NI, Channel Islands, Scottish Highlands etc. it doesn't update to reflect options 1-12. This means you could trick the system into giving you cheaper postage.

Hi There,

I'm having similar issues, but I imagine things have changed since the 2 years this topic was created!

I've already got a Shipping Method for the UK setup with free posting which is pointing to my United Kingdom zone. Now I've created another shipping method with the cost of £17.50 for Zone 2 deliveries, also pointed to my United Kingdom zone, so I'm guessing if I've configured the Minimum and Maximum post codes right it should add the extra costs?

Mines slightly more complicated as I've been given a list of post codes for Zone 2 which I'm attaching in this message. I tried G83 7 as the Minimum and PH50 4 as the Maximum but I'm guessing that's not how it works as it just has the free delivery option.

Hi,

For example, for the post code within this range : IV10 8 - IV9 8 you'll have to set the :
- Prefix option to IV
- Minimum post code option to 26
- Maximum post code option to 637

So, you'll have to create 1 shipping method per prefix.
