Hi there,

I am currently setting up some rules for shipping, I am adding rules for UK excluding UK Highlands & Islands.

Below is what I am using for "IV" post codes and it does not seem to be working is there anything I am doing incorrectly?

Name=UK - Non highlands and islands; ZIP2 != "iv"; 0<=Weight<300;Shipping=3.80
Name=UK - Non highlands and islands; ZIP2 != "iv"; 300<=Weight<599;Shipping=4.20
Name=UK - Non highlands and islands; ZIP2 != "iv"; 600<=Weight<999;Shipping=4.80
Name=UK - Non highlands and islands; ZIP2 != "iv"; 1000<=Weight<1499;Shipping=5.50
Name=UK - Non highlands and islands; ZIP2 != "iv"; 1500<=Weight<1999;Shipping=6.50
Name=UK - Non highlands and islands; ZIP2 != "iv"; 2000<=Weight<2999;Shipping=7.50

Thanks !

Dear Steve,
The ZIP1, ZIP2, ZIP3, etc. are case-sensitive variables, so you would need to check "iv", "IV", "iV" an "Iv". On the other hand, the dedicated UK_Area variable (available only in the advanced version of the plugin) should always be UPPER-case, so the following rule should work in all cases:

Thank you for your response!

I have made the changes to my previous syntax (i have the pro version). And the shipping method is still being shown for the UK areas that I specifically created a rule to not be shown. Although it is working the other way around, could be this be an issue with the current version of the plugin or some kind of conflict between rules?

The below is what I have entered in the text box:

Name=UK - Non highlands and islands; UK_Area != "IM"; 0<=Weight<300;Shipping=3.80
Name=UK - Non highlands and islands; UK_Area != "PO"; 0<=Weight<300;Shipping=3.80
Name=UK - Non highlands and islands; UK_Area != "IV"; 0<=Weight<300;Shipping=3.80
Name=UK - Non highlands and islands; UK_Area != "KW"; 0<=Weight<300;Shipping=3.80

Dear Steve,
Thanks for posting the whole set of rules, which makes the picture much clearer. The problem is a small flow in your logic: With those rules, either the very first or the second rule will always match in any case (If UK_Area is "IM", then the first rule will not match, but the second rule will; If UK_Area is anything else, the first rule will already match).

Let's just rephrase your shipping costs in a way that can easier be implements correctly:
If the weight is below 300
AND
UK_Area is NOT in the list("IM", "PO", "IV", "KW" or "BT"),
THEN
shipping is 3,80

This can now be easily implemented as a rule (replacing all your five rules for each weight band):
Repeat the same for your other weights and you should be done.

Best regards,
Reinhold
