UK Shipping by Postcode

[Z3NN3D]

Parcelforce, DHL, UPS, FedEx, City Link, Hermes, HDNL, TNT, and most UK carriers charge extra for carriage of packages outside of mainland England.

Many of my UK based customers have struggled to implement a reasonable mechanism to cope with the range of charges in their shipping using Zen's Zone module, so I have created a specific shipping by UK Postcode module that enables you to set up standard postage charges for UK mainland postcodes, and also allocate additional shipping charges to 'premium' postcode destinations in Scotland, Northern Ireland, Isle of Man, The Scilly Isles, and the Channel Islands.

The module has been tested with versions 1.38a up to 1.39h and works without problems with all tested versions.

I will be submitting the module to the Free Software Addons but in the meantime, if anyone wants such a module then you can download it from my website.

The above URL will always have the latest version posted and available should it need to be upgraded at any time.

Enjoy!!

Why not submit it to the addon section

Many will have a hard time finding it here

Hi Guys,

Cool module this is exactly what I need for a site im developing.

However I have a problem...

The module is installed and seems to be working for most postcodes, however some of the postcodes in the same zone as the working ones dont appear to work and return a 0 cost.

For example PH17 doesnt work while IV48 does work.

But they are in the same Zone so I dont understand where this issue is coming from...

Any ideas and many thanks in advance...

:)

White space in postcode entries will prevent the filter from selecting a postcode.

PH17 is the first postcode entry in the default list... I suspect you might have a space preceding PH17 maybe?

If you continue to have a problem then the module isn't fussy if entries are duplicated so enter it again - Just make sure there are no spaces between commas and postcodes.

If you want to break the lines up to stop the right hand section of the page from being over wide then you can add , &, (with a space preceding the &, which will help to format the layout in the admin but not affect operation.

See the documentation enclosed with the module or goto http://www.zenned.co.uk/uk-shipping-by-postcode-ezp-16.html for the latest update or documented information.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your quick response.

I have thoroughly read the readme and have double checked everything.

I have tried:

removed white space (not working)
removed ampersands and tried on a single line (not working)
Duplicated the offending postcodes like PHxx (not working)

This is very bizzare as other postcodes within the same zone seem to work perfectly.

-------------

When the PH postcodes are used it defaults back to the Zone 1 rate, instead of Zone 2 as it should be.

Any Ideas?

Looks like I might have included a minor bug into the module.

Try the following fix...

Open /includes/modules/shipping/ukpost.php

Locate line 114 which says
$pcode = $str = preg_replace('/\s\s*/', '', $destination_postcode);

Replace with...
$pcode = preg_replace('/\s\s*/', '', $destination_postcode);

Rgds
Mike.

UPDATE...

I've now updated the Postcode module with a bug fix plus I've added PAxx postcodes that were overlooked in the original version.

The updated version will be available in the downloads section after it has been reviewed by the Zen team.

If you want the revised version straight away then download it from http://zenned.co.uk/modules/UK_Postcode_Shipping.zip

Enjoy!

uuuum doesnt work at all for me

"The delivery/shipping fee cannot be determined at this time"

Do I need to delete all the zones I had previously setup or change my stores zone or something along those lines?

Something to do with Zone Definitions perhaps?
