Topic summary
A merchant needs to configure local delivery for specific UK postcodes (e.g., EH1) while excluding similar-looking codes (EH10, EH11). This is challenging because Shopify’s native local delivery settings don’t distinguish between these postcode patterns.
Suggested Solutions:
- Third-party apps like “Local Delivery,” “Store Pickup + Delivery,” or “Local Delivery Rate by Zip code” can handle postcode restrictions, though they typically require paid subscriptions
- One user discovered a workaround using dashes (e.g., “AB1—”) to limit postcode ranges, allowing AB11AB while excluding AB131AB
Current Status:
- Shopify support indicated they were working on native UK postcode support, but no updates have been released
- One merchant resorted to manually entering ~10,000 postcodes using a paid app to bypass Shopify’s delivery limit
- Feedback has been submitted for feature consideration, with updates expected on Shopify’s changelog page if implemented
Ongoing Issue:
After 4+ years, merchants continue requesting this functionality, expressing frustration that this core feature remains unaddressed while other updates are prioritized.
