Sorry to be a queue jumper here .. but it seems that this is the best place to ask these questions.

Using the documentation I have put in the following. On testing various test user postcodes and weights I can safely say that I got it wrong - but there was no error when I saved the code.

Can anyone explain what I might be doing wrong (what code I need to correct)?

I sell Products from Melbourne to the whole of Australia.

Thank you, Bruce




Name=FREE LOCAL SHIPPING; ZIP==3015; ZIP==3016; ZIP==3025; Shipping=0
Name=FREE BULK SHIPPING; Amount>200; Shipping=0
Name=Melbourne Special; 3000<=ZIP<=3200; Shipping=5
Name=3kg Fixed Satchel; Weight<3; Shipping=9.99
Name=5kg Fixed Satchel; Weight<5; Shipping=11.99

Hi,

Is there any other help available besides the manual?

Cheers, B

Yes, this is the best place to look for answers and ask questions.

You are not completely wrong, just a few small misunderstandings:

For a rule to match, all conditions must be fulfilled. Since ZIP can not be 3015 and 3016 and 3025 at the same time, this rule will never match. If you have the advanced version of the plugin, you can use OR:
If you use the free version of the plugin, you have to use three separate rules instead:

Your other rules have the following logic:
First, Melbourne will be checked: Shiping will be 5 for all weights.

Then, all order not for Melbourne will be 9.99 if the weight is below 3kg and 11.99 if hte weight is below 5. Orders of more than 5kg outside Melbourne will not offer a shipping rate.

Is this what you have in mind?

Hi Reinhold,

Thank you so much or replying. I have considered getting the advanced version, but wanted to make sure I could do the logic, or that I would need it.

I am now trying to sort through the mass of courier 'cherry picked' post codes (in excel) that are supposed to define each city's metro regions, and work out if I can apply that, or if it would be easier to simplify the apps code and postal charges returned.

Thank you again for this ! I will reply is I get stumped on a complexity ...

Problem solved.
