Using Flat Rate shipping to UK only.

Hi there,

            we are setting up <https://www.phantomzonecomics.com> to sell a massive collection of comics in aid of St Michaels Hospice here in the UK. I've been posting threads on here at various points over the past week getting it pulled together, I have one last request.

Whats the best way of getting flat rate shipping - for example we sell a comic at a time, with postage of £1.50, how can we restrict this to uk users only, so we dont have to think about airmail shipping etc. Or is it easy enough to install modules to calculate this?

          I've installed the "big royal mail 1.0" module which claims to handle all of this but it is behaving oddly, ideally i'd love this to work and be able to sell overseas. But! unfortuneately it doesnt at the moment (see attachment), its giving odd amounts and not working for most of the postage services - try and purchase a product if you want to see or refer to the attached pic.



                      Thanks everyone,


                               Caroline

Create 2 shipping zones.

One is UK only, the other is Rest of the World.

Using the Flat Rate module, apply the shipping to your UK zone only.

And to make it real easy, run this through your admin>tools>install sql patches but BACKUP first.

//to create a Rest of the World Zone

This was a simple change to the US v RoW snippet that Linda posted elsewhere to make this UK friendly

Thank you! a friend has leapt to my aid who has some zencart experience, so we'll be able to offer several royal mail services hopefully. If not, i'll use your method, thanks :)
