Can I use * Wildcard?

I need the same as Kath. I have a very particular list of postcodes but i need to use wildcards e.g. dh6 5*, dh6 6*,

is this possible?

Hi – in the end I used a combination of Woocommerce Table Rate Shipping Plus from Mangohour and Postcode Shipping Rates which is on the WordPress Plugin site.

Kathryn

I’m literally in the middle of updating this now and it’ll save me making 2 websites when I’d rather make 1, can you give me some more details how you did it?

Sorry, I just checked and in the end I just used the Mangohour plugin which did what I needed.

If this is of any help, this is what I needed/what I did: purchased plugin from here: https://mangohour.com/plugins/woocommerce-table-rate-shipping?utm_source=wp-plugin-repo&utm_medium=table-rate-shipping-for-woocommerce&utm_campaign=readme-link

This is what I needed it to do: I need two shipping options for the UK – 1) free delivery and 2) ￡5.00 delivery charge for the Scottish Highlands and Islands and Northern Ireland. I need the ￡5.00 charge to be applied automatically at the checkout when somebody enters a relevant postcode. I don’t want to have to enter thousands of postcodes so I either need to be able to add wildcards or specifically select, for example, Northern Ireland as an area to have a ￡5.00 delivery charge. Can your plugin help me?

This was the answer: Yes the plugin has full support for UK postcode ranges and wildcards. Here are some examples:
B matches all UK postcodes beginning with B (but not BN, for example)
BN2 matches all UK postcodes with first half BN2
BN1-5 matches all UK postcodes with first half BN1, through BN5
PH4 4* matches all UK postcodes beginning with PH4 4 (using wildcard)
I would recommend that you create two shipping zones:

Zone 1 – “Highlands and NI” – containing the postcode ranges.
Zone 2 – “Mainland UK” – containing the same postcodes, but ticking “Exclude”. This will act as an inverse of Zone 1.

The required shipping rates could then be created for each shipping zone.

I also asked: Would the ￡5.00 delivery cost for Highlands and NI then be added automatically at the checkout? I’m trying to avoid the standard Woocommerce system where people have to tick a checkbox to select the shipping option.

and the answer was: Yes the ￡5 would be automatically applied for “Highlands and NI” postcodes. Assuming that you create zones as detailed in my previous email, here are the shipping rates that will achieve this:

Zone: Highlands and NI
Service: Standard Shipping
Condition: Item count
Min: 1
Max: *
Base Cost: 5

Zone: Mainland UK
Service: Standard Shipping
Condition: Item count
Min: 1
Max: *
Base Cost: 0

I had to Google and then add the postcode zones for the UK/the Scottish Highlands i.e. HS1 *
IV15*
IV36*
KA27*
KW17*

Hope that helps!

hi,

it’s more of i want to exclude areas completely if they are not in a list.

My business delivers McDonald’s and KFC etc to people. they order online and i use local delivery to set the postcode list for what addresses each of my multisite sites. however some sites cover a larger area and I want to have a 2 tier system so postcodes further away have to pay a higher delivery charge. at the minute for 1 area and I have 2 sites which are the same except for the allowed postcodes. ideally i want

zone 1 = dh6 5*,dh6 6*, etc = 3.99
Zone 2 = dl14 1*,dl14 2* = 4.99
everywhere else = no option for delivery

it’s the no option for delivery I need to find a solution for and was wondering if this plugin can accommodate that?

Hi, yes I would think it would as it’s a fairly comprehensive plugin but your best bet would be to contact the plugin author – the pre-sales support was really good and they should be able to answer your question straightaway.
