Shipping Zone Postcodes Don't Work

Of course, is missing the *.

We display the follow message while you are settings postcodes:

Postcodes containing wildcards (e.g. CB23*) and fully numeric ranges (e.g. 90210…99000) are also supported.

So you should set as:

NE1*
NE2*
NE5*

Hi, a follow up question to this:

In the UK, this approach might be problematic because we have a strange postcode system. For example:
My city is Exeter. Some postcodes start with EX1, and others start with EX10. If I add the wildcard EX1*, then EX10, EX11, EX12 etc will also be included. There are many outcodes which suffer the same problem, sometimes with a difference of many miles. I’m loking for a way to differentiate between EX1 and EX10.

The only way to make a differentiation is to remove the last 3 letters / numbers from a full postcode, so that EX1 1AB becomes EX1, and EX10 5CD becomes EX10.

Is there any way we can do this with shipping zones?

Thanks for any help, Joe

did anyone get anywhere with this?

I’m also having this issue, and it never used to be a problem. I can’t submit ranges of UK postcode outcodes (this is the first part of the postcode).

So NR1…NR9 doesn’t work. It has to be

NR1*
NR2*
NR3*
NR4*

…etc

OK? Not quite – the problem with using this wildcard though is that NR1* will include all postcodes that are NR10 and upwards, so NR11, NR12, etc, and these fall within the next shipping zone, as my prices are 0-10 miles, 11-20 miles and so on.

I also don’t think it recognises spaces, so I couldn’t have NR1_, or NR1_1… or could I?

Does anyone have a solution to this now?

Perhaps there’s another plugin that allows radial distance shipping?

Thanks!
