Royal Mail rates change now includes parcel size

Royal Mail have changed their pricing to now also be based on parcel size.

So postage is based on a table of weights, but it is a different table depending on if the parcel is small, medium or large ( they specify dimensions for small, medium and large).

Does anyone know of a plugin that handles this?

I've been thinking on how one might work out costs and it is a nightmare! With a catalogue of products in all sorts of different sizes how can one work out what size a final parcel might be based on the shopping cart content?

Oh, Royal Mail we love you!!!:no:

Is anyone else struggling with this? What have you done?

Regards

Phill

Re: Royal Mail rates change now includes parcel size

Yes.. we are all stuggling with this.... In the PO yesterday and for a poke,, Said I wanted it sent "UK Confirmed" lol,,, "you mean Recorded Delivery"... lol and so it went on... The PO vs Royal Mail cant even agree on what it now is supposedly called ;)

I know the guys are trying to work something out for this... but it would be a major task.

There is always "Ceon" to fall back on but at a cost!
