Shipping Based on Zip Code

[rwoody]

Excellent...thank you so much Ruth for helping me clear this up...that's perfect!!

If you would like to see it in action - the site is http://www.lorindascandlesandmore.com Please be considerate as this is a live shop. You can place items within the cart and demonstrate it with the shipping estimator - here are a couple of the zipcodes that are implemented - 33801 and 33803 and of course it's the state of Florida. So to see how it works, first in the estimator list one of these zipcodes in Fl and see the results, then go back and recheck using your own state and zip code.


Glad this is helpful to you.

Is there a way that we put range instead of typing the whole Zip Code into the Shipping Module setting one by one? For exeample, in Zone 1, 91000-93000,08000-083000.

This would save heck a lot of time and effort.

No, I'm sorry. The code is written specifically to input each zip code followed by a comma. You would have to rewrite the code for that to work. It was written based on the zones module which is written the same way.

Probably someday we can work that thing out. I'm not a code writer yet

Hi,

Just to let you know that you can set up Zip Code ranges using the new module we've just released.

Rwoody, about your mod I need something similar but instead only let the specificed zipcodes the abilities to checkout.

Do you know if there is an easy way to modify your mod to do this?

This would help our local food delivery service make sure that the delivery address is within our delivery area.

Thank you

My first answer is no; however I would have to get my brain around this, but my first thought is you could try setting this up for your delivery area only, change the language file for all others to read something like - Sorry, you are out of our delivery area, you will need to pickup your order at our store located at: and then setup the only other available shipping method as Store Pickup (if they can do that). That "might" work for you, but you would have to test it out to see. Just be sure you have very clear language files setup so that your customer knows that they are out of the delivery area.

If Store Pickup is not an option I haven't ever tested to see if it would still check out without an available shipping method. I would think it would not, but as I said, I've never tried it, so test it first and see what happens.

Sorry I'm not more help here - maybe one of the core developer would be able to direct you further.
