Hello
I only have a starter level package.

Can I list items using the HTML snip it and force a postage option or place a message saying unavailable in your area.

Let me give an example:
I have one item I only wish to hand deliver to local customers ( to fragile to post ) if they enter a post code that falls out side of my area of hand delivery I want it to stop it adding to the basket.

Hope I am making myself clear.
Many thanks

Hi,

There is a way to do this but it would mean that all your shipping methods would need to be weight based.

Basically you would setup a shipping method called 'local delivery' and make it weight based, setup a weight band with a rule something like this...

10000 - 10000 = £10 (or whatever you want to charge)

Basically setup the band with a very high weight. Then edit that product and give it the same high weight. Basically here we are tricking the system to force it to only show that shipping method when that product is bought. That shipping method will only appear if the weight of the basket matches 10000, all other shipping methods will be hidden (unless their weight bands stretch into 10000).

Also see 'tools > options > shipping' and either select 'do not allow order to proceed with a shipping cost of zero' or 'do not allow order to proceed without a shipping method'.

You can then use postcode shipping to restrict that shipping method to certain postcodes...
