Oza - sorry for the long delay in posting - been very busy...

this is the one I used and adapted for UK Parcelforce and then International Parcelforce - it works very well but your customes have to use the correct format for the UK postcode I.e XX1 2ZZ because the program looks for the space to set the shipping price

Use a shipping zone for postcodes - what courier are you using?

How do you delete an order?
I thought my install was fine, until I read the other posts.
There is no delete order present in my admin screen

Go to Admin>orders select order you want to delete and click delete ;)

I have realised the country codes are all listed, phew! Was not looking forward to that!!
How  are you shipping Business airmail or personal airmail i.e. do you have an account with Royal Mail?

I had thought I had included airmail as standard as I could not see an option to add it, so my problem is what I put in front of the prices on the Zone side as it just had a number on zone one ie 3:2.50 but Zone 2 has 100:9.80 oh, and before those boxes what is 'sort order'? that starts 100:2.59
:(

Loks as though that bit is messed up - I'll start with the last... sort order is the order the shipping is shown on the shipping page so 1 appears above 2, 2 above 3 and so on
Let's take the nUmbers that appear on zones

3:2.50 means that anything upto 3 is shipped at 2.50 In our case using weights anything up to 3kgs is shipped for £2.50 or someone that ships wine 3 bottles for 2.50€

Now  these tables are written in such a way that you can use multiple prices/'weights' like so:

.1:7.54,.2:8.06,.3:8.58,.5:9.62,1:12.22,1.5:14.81,2:17.41

The numbers before the : are the 'weights' and the numbers after the : are the price so anything upto .1kgs costs £7.54 anything between .1kgs and .2kgs costs £8.06 right the way up to 2kgs costing £17.41

Whatever unit you choose 'weight'wise must remain the same throughout

For safety many store owners will put something like 200:999 as the last weight/price which'll make everything over 2kgs (your max airmail weight if you're not selling books) £999 to send otherwise it will default to £0.00

@Carol

A simple way would be to add a number in front of your weight i.e.

Small packets = 105,110,115,120
Medium packets = 205,210,215,220
Large Packets =305,310,315,320

And then price them up into one zone 105:0.5,110:0.8,115:1.0,120:1.75,205:0.95,210:1.5,215:1.75,220:2,305:1.25,310:1.5,315:1.95,320:2.5

and so on

Oh... and don't show the weight on you invoices

Don't forget your 'weights' are just a number the number can indicate anything you want to e.g. bottles, yards, metres, kgs or even lbs.

I have a list of all the euro country iso codes used by Royal Mail might even be able to come up with europe and australasia if you are not a RM business customer

Add the signed for price into your pricing for airmail
