Title: Shipping calculated on distance - URGENT
Post by: Eternity on October 03, 2013, 09:19:45 AM
Hi

Can anyone tell me if there is a shipping plugin that works on distance?  I have configured shipping on weight with USPS before, but this time I need distance.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Orders which are within 10km's from the store get free delivery, orders over R500 outside of the 10km's but within the same province, any deliveries in other provinces will be couriered

In the UK we can use postcodes (ZIP) for working out which are local.

But alphanumeric postcodes do not work for shipping in the standard weight coutnry plugin so you need a different shipping plugin that supports these
