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

About Me
I make and sell specialist parts for 4x4s which is what got me into osCommerce in the first place (as well as the fact that it's free).
I currently own 2 4x4s one a total off-roader - the one I play with (the one in my avatar) and the other is a tow tug and daily drive.
Unfortunately due to work pressures I haven't been able to get off-road for over a year - something I hope to resolve in 2011.
You can see my osCommerce store at http://xpajun.com - which if you look you'll find running on 2.3.1 - managed to update it prematurely last night (December3).
Why prematurely? Well the idea was to upload the admin first and make sure that was working before updating the front-end except a keystroke in the wrong place had the admin over-writing the front-end arggghhhhh.
Well I burnt the midnight oil and got it up and running - still needs a bit more work doing on it (on both ends) but there are a lot of features standard in 2.3.1 that are worth having a store up early for.
Thanks for stopping by and reading - just remember anyone can make a mistake - back-up - back-up - back-up!!!

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

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
