How to set up local delivery for specific UK postcodes?

[Zack86]

Hi,

How do I set up local delivery for postcodes EH1 *** without including EH10 ***, EH11 ***, etc...

Hi, @Zack86!

Welcome to Shopify Community. My name is Olivia and I work here.

Thank you so much for connecting with our network and sharing your question. To create detailed local delivery guidelines and limitations, you will actually want to use an app specifically designed to do so. 

I did some research for you to help you find the perfect fit, and came up with these top contenders:

• Local Delivery
• Store Pickup + Delivery
• Local Delivery Rate by Zipcode

Either one of these apps promises to limit specific locations, and even alter rates by delivery zone. Make sure to check out the reviews for each one and look for a free trial to see which will work best for you.

Tip: 

If you have any app-specific questions or need help with set-up then you can also connect with your app's developer for support.

I trust that will work, but don't hesitate to connect with me if other questions come up.

Warm regards,

Hi Zack

Did you find an app that worked for you in setting local delivery to UK postcodes - all the Apps suggested I have looked at mention zip codes not UK postcodes.

we have similar issue to you with arranging deliveries dates to blocks of postcodes in North East where NE1 and NE11 are in different delivery blocks/zones (and dates when we deliver) but as for you, Shopify assumes they are in the same 😞   

Cheers

Thanks for your comment, @janebodx. 

I know your question was directed at @Zack86, but I did want to share that many delivery restriction apps include the option of zip codes and/or postcodes to meet global merchant needs. Have you reached out to the App Developers of the apps I recommended above to discuss if their solution can work for your needs?

Warm regards,

Hi Jane,

After speaking with shopify help I was advised they are working on sorting the code so it will work with UK postcodes, (seems like a simple fix in my mind but nothing yet). I managed to get a list of every postcode my local delivery courier will ship to but the list is about 10000 long and there is a limit on local deliveries.

I'm currently using Local Delivery Rate by Zipcode just so this limit is removed and I have copy and pasted the full list of postcodes that we ship to locally. Hoping there is a fix soon so I don't have to waste money on a feature that is given free to everyone else.

After a hour of trying different things I realised you can limit the postcode search using dashes.

So try AB1--- 

This will allow AB11AB and not AB131AB 

Hope it helps someone 👍
