Hello ,

i am really confused how the shipping zones work so below is want i want to do and please advice

1.Hauliers have divided England into several zones (about 7) based on post code and charge transport differs in each case. So if you send a product in Cambridge will be charged £ 15.00 and if you send in Scotland will I be charged £ 25.00. We need a way when the customer registers the product delivery address for the system to recognize the code and adjust the price accordingly.

2.my second question is if it possible to assign a standard cost for specific products. For example i have a shop that sells Clothes, sports accessories and bikes. I want the shipping of the bikes to be 30 pounds for example per bike. How can i configure that, is possible to create shipping costs per product category?

thank you

Hi,

1. Are you sure that it has to be based on the post code and not the "state" ?
If it's based on the state of the user, it's quite easy as you can create a shipping zone for each of the 7 zone and add all the states in that zone as a sub zone of your shipping zone. Then, you can create one manual shipping method per shipping zone and voilà.
If it's based on the post code, you will have to create one shipping method per post code range. That can potentially amount to a lot of shipping zones based on how are defined the post code ranges. So potentially more work to input all the shipping prices.

2. Not per category but per product yes. In your shipping methods you can turn on the "price per product" option and then, in each product, you can configure a shipping price for each shipping method with that option turned on.
