Exclude Highlands and Islands from UK shipping.

[Brenho1]

As of yet, Shopify hasn't allowed us to exclude certain territories within the UK.
Is there a way around this or is the only option to use an app? If so, any app suggestions would be welcomed.

Thanks

Hi @Brenho1,

If you're open to using a third-party solution, Intuitive Shipping can help you with this.

Using our sub-zone system, you can create shipping zones based on UK postcodes, either individual postcodes, ranges, or a combination of both. Then, you can assign a 'no shipping' shipping method to the sub-zone so that anyone who lives in one of those postcodes will be unable to check out.

You can learn more about creating sub-zones in this guide from our Help Center. 

If you would like to learn more about Intuitive Shipping or get a walk-through of the sub-zone setup process, please feel free to book a demo with one of our team members who can take you through the process in real time and answer any questions you might have.

Intuitive Shipping is free to install and use in Setup & Testing mode for an unlimited time, so you can try it out and make sure it works for your store before activating and starting a live free trial period.

Please note that to use Intuitive Shipping - or any third-party rate calculation app - Shopify requires that you enable their third-party carrier-calculated shipping rates feature. This feature is $20 USD per month. If you change your Shopify billing to annual, they will add the feature at no additional cost (plus they will reduce your billing plan by 10%). If you're on the Advanced plan or higher, this feature is already included and activated by default.

Best regards,

Ron

Your requirement can be fulfilled using a third-party solution like Shopify Multi Carrier Shipping Label App. Using the app's automation feature, you can define shipping zones based on UK postcodes, either individual postcodes, ranges, or a mix of both. Then, you can give a 'no shipping' shipping method to the shipping zone, preventing anyone who lives in one of those postcodes from checking out. Try the app for free - 14 days.
