When I go through to shipping information in the shopping cart for the UK or Northern Ireland I get the options for these two shipping methods with a price for UK and Northern Ireland when only Royal Mail 1st Class Recorded Signed For ™ "Letter" ver. 3.0.0 should be showing.

Also when I go through from a different country I get both options but without a price for either.

Obviously Royal Mail 1st Class Recorded Signed For should only show for UK and Northern Ireland and Royal Mail Airmail International Signed For® "Small Packet" should only show for any other country.

How do I resolve this?

As with the earlier post you need to set hide invalid shipping to true.
Admin>Modules>shipping> select the shipping method the click the edit button the look for Hide Invalid Shipping
Hide this shipping service if it is not valid (either due to exceeding the maximum weight or the min & max order values).
and change the radio button to true.

Heads up!

Royal Mail are making big changes to their Packets and Parcels on 2nd April 2013.

Compensation rates are being more than halved for standard mail, from £46 to £20.

Standard Parcels are being abolished, replaced by 2nd class mail and 2nd class recorded up to 20kg.

Parcels will become "small" and "medium" parcels. larger parcels will have to go via Parcelforce.

"small" means less than 2kg AND smaller than 16cm x 16cm x 16cm OR smaller than 45cm x 35cm x 8cm OR a tube smaller than 45cm long x 8cm wide.

"Medium" means less than 20Kg and smaller than 61 x 46 x 46cm

Thanks Brittainmark - not quite I have postage for items under £5, but not concerned about adding additional weight for packaging.

Devus - Don't think Zencart can cope with sizes but assume we will do it by weight. Typically you may know what your items are likely to be, and amend the rates accordingly.

Thanks for the heads up I'll get working on a rate update and see if i need any other bits changing. I'll submit the new update as soon as I have it completed.

I have updated the program now version 3.1.0 for the new rates and the new small and medium parcels. Do not install until you are ready to use the new rates. They come in to effect 2 April 2013
