Shipping on Local Products

I have looked at the various posts here and just would like a little clarification please.

I have some products which are only delivered locally within certain postcode ranges or collected. The restrictions is 1 item. When I select the item the only options should be either for £5/£7 delivery charge or collection.

Another category has products that are posted nationally and the local options should not be available.

How can this be achieved?

Thanks

I have a similar challenge with a UK shipper who has very complex rules - including postcodes - for deriving their shipping costs.

It requires a new shipping plug in - I haven't got around to even starting this yet.

So I don't think you can achieve this with the out-of-the-box Hikashop functionality. You'd have to write a plugin.

You may be able to get near with the manual shipping plugin that has some postcode fields but I don't think these are too clever.

Love to know how you solve

I did manage to create shipping for the restricted postcodes. The problem is the that if I am outside the postcode area the product can still be orderd for delivery using the standard methods, which is not what the client requires. I need to restict those products to the specified area for local delivery only or collection.

How do I go about creating 2 manual shipping methods?

There are only 4 or 5 postcode area restrictions for about 10 - 20 products. This may expand in the future in which case a custom option may be required

Hi Nicolas

I have about 10 - 20 products that are restricted to NR1 - NR3 £5. NR4 - NR6 + NR14 £7 These are specific deliverty areas for those products.

There are then 7 products that can be delivered anywhere in the UK. One otpion is free delivery with next day delivery at £3.50.

Thanks

Hi Nicolas

all the post code areas for the Uk are listed on this site .

I need to restrict the option to choose delivery of some products in a particular category to the NR post codes posted previously. If possible Automatic selection based on delivery address would be preferred. The NR is the Pre-fix, with the number related to a specific area. So I need the following:

NR1 to NR3 with a shipping charge of £5

NR4 to NR6 with a shipping charge of £7

NR14 with a shipping charge of £7

There are 7 other products in another category which have free delivery or next day delivery of £3.50 for the UK. That has already been set up and is working and can be seen here .

Hopefully this is a bit clearer for you, but if you need further clarification please let me know.

Thanks

I think I may have resolved it, just need to do some testing.

The products required for local delivery I have set as 1kg in weight and restricted the postcodes.

For the other products I have set a weight of 2kg, these can be delivered anywhere in the UK.

All products are sent individually so I have set a max and minimum quantity of 1.

The deliveries are UK based only as they are flowers.

Will update you shortly.
