UK Shipping by Postcode

Thought it was as straight forward. Been playing around for a few days now, so think its definitely got to do with my Zones.

Let me load new files and see what happens,

Thanks,
Jay

Hey Mike

This is completely puzzling me.

This is where I am....

I have got all my zones / countries as per first install.

My Settings:

Postcode = AB31 1AB (Zone 2)
got an item with a weight of 1

Zone 1 Shipping Table
1.00:1.99,2:2.99:3,:3.99:100:10.99

Zone 2 Shipping Table
1.00:21.99,2:22.99:3,:23.99:100:210.99

Zone 3 Shipping Table
1.00:31.99,2:32.99:3,:33.99:100:310.99

Zone 4 Shipping Table
1.00:41.99,2:42.99:3,:43.99:100:410.99

Postcodes are set to your standard list.

My Methods and Results:

calculation method = weight

Result = Parcel To: (0 x 0.00Kg) £0.00

calculation method = item

Add 1 to cart
Result = (Parcel To: AB31 1AB ) £21.99

Add 2 to cart
Result = (Parcel To: AB31 1AB ) £22.99

... and so on.

Why does it calculated 'item method' as it should but 'weight method' does not get acknowledged?

I'm assuming as the 'item method' works perfectly with my postcodes, it would not a problem with my zones or general setup?

I will PM you my details so you can have a look first hand if you have some time.

Thanks,
Jay

I installed this mod, I have the following set-up:
Zen Cart 1.3.9f, MySQL 5.1.49, PHP Version 5.2.17

I have the following as the settings:

Enable PostCode Method True

Calculation Method Price

Tax Class --none--

Tax Basis Store

the only part that seems to be working is the "zone 1 shipping" nothing else. I have made sure that there are no extra spaces between the postcode listings & i have made sure that the post code inserted for testing is a full & complete one ie:AB31 4AB

I have got zones setup for UK counties but I inserted those individually myself I did not use a module of any kind. I have got Ceon URI Mapping (SEO) installed, does that hurt it? hope not. any clues anyone? Any help would be greatly appreciated. hope to hear soon....

hi, just noticed a small mstake, the doubling up of the space ampersand comma after IV43. I have fixed this but this has still not made it work, ? :-(

Hi, anyone reading this at the moment? .....

for some reason it just suddenly started working, weird, but great, am currently testing it, great mod btw way thanx zenned uk ;-)

You have ampersands and spaces all over the place... i.e. AB31 &,AB32 &,AB33 &,AB34 &,AB35 &,AB36 &,AB37 &,AB38 &,AB40 &,AB41 &,AB42 &,AB43 &,AB44

The script is trying to match postcodes found between the commas and is finding 'AB31 &' in your setup. 'AB31 &' is not a postcode.

The postcode table should look something like..
AB31,AB32,AB33,AB34,AB35,AB36,AB37,AB38,AB40,AB41,AB42,AB43,AB44, &,

Adding a space/ampersand/comma every 10-15 postcode entries acts as a line break, stopping the page getting over wide.

You would then continue
AB45,AB46,AB47,AB48,AB49,AB50,AB51,AB52,AB53,AB54,AB55,AB56,KW1,KW2,KW3,KW4,KW5, &, etc etc

Hi Zenned UK,
thanks for the reply, yes, i did do that in the end, it seems to be all working now, great module btw, :clap:

Hmm, I installed this on 2 zencarts and it works like a dream on one of them. The other, however, gives me a blank page at index.php?main_page=checkout_shipping. It breaks the checkout completely.

I'm using Zen Cart 1.3.9h, PHP Version: 5.2.9 (Zend: 2.2.0), MySQL 5.1.61-cll.

Any suggestions please?
:blink:

It doesn't show in the shipping estimator on the index.php?main_page=shopping_cart page - the popup box is blank with only the close window link on it....

I'm really stumped, I have made sure that the zencart settings are the same on both websites before testing too.

Just wanted to thank the developer Mike for recoding the module to work with my configuration - so thank you Mike!

:clap:

Hi,

I hope you can help me. I am working on https://www.thaigardennewbarnet.co.uk. The customer only delivers to a few post codes within London. I have set my zones as just 1, and in Zen Cart this is what is in my module:

Enable PostCode Method
True

Calculation Method
Price

Tax Class
--none--

Tax Basis
Shipping

Sort Order
1

Zone 1 Post Codes
EN1,EN2,EN4,EN5,EN6,N3,N11,N12,N13,N21,NW7,WD6

Zone 1 Shipping Table
1000:0.00

Zone 1 Handling Fee
0

However, when I try to place an order with postcode SE18 6JH, it does not give any error messages that the shop does not deliver to that post code. What have I done wrong here?

Hi Zenned,

Your UKPost module is really great. Would you consider adding this coding to the module download? I only ask because I've been troubled with why this wasn't working all day and close to removing it completely, until I found this. I'm sure others would appreciate it too.

Many thanks

Z3NN3D:

:blink: Buyers are unlikely to fall foul of the 'PA22 problem' if they enter a valid and complete UK postcode in the shipping estimator or in the checkout.

The module is designed to estimate or apply shipping costs in the checkout based on the buyer entering a complete UK 5 or 6 digit postcode.

Your 'solution' will continue to cause incorrect shipping values to be returned in response to partial postcodes being entered.

If you want to create a partial 'idiot' trap in the module then.. UK postcodes are either 5 or 6 digits long, so you could do a test on the string to see if it's less than 5 characters, and return an error message if it is.

To do that...
if you open /includes/modules/shipping/ukpost.php

Insert the line
if ($len <= 4) {$error2 = true;} after $len = strlen($pcode); (around line 115)

**Then add the line **
if ($error2 == true) $this->quotes['error'] = MODULE_SHIPPING_UKPOST_INVALID_POSTCODE; After the line if ($error == true) $this->quotes['error'] = MODULE_SHIPPING_UKPOST_INVALID_CODE;

**Then **open /includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/ukpost.php

Add the line
define('MODULE_SHIPPING_UKPOST_INVALID_POSTCODE', 'Invalid Postcode Entered');

Completely Stuck please help!

I have installed everything correctly and it seems to be working for the most part, But on the checkout page 1 it shows as 0, when you click next step the correct amount shows.

Ive been looking and looking and trying to find the answer!

Please help!

Thanks for this add-on, very useful.

I wondered if there would be an easy way to have it show only when the order is shipping to the UK? At present it is a 'not applicable' shipping option to international customers. Which is fine, but it would be nicer if it wasn't there at all.

Cheers!

Brexit problems.

I am now not able to ship to Northern Ireland and need a way to exclude those postcodes from this shipping module.

To start with I just raised the shipping cost to those postcodes massively so people would not purchase, but that does not look good for my shops.

Is there a way to set one of the shipping zones to be a "No delivery" zone so if a customer tries to purchase using a postcode in that zone they get a message "Sorry but we are not able to ship to your address" message?

Hi
Have you tried removing all the NI post codes usually in zone 3 in the shipping module and also removing all the NI towns in Zones?
