I'm using the advanced module for UK Postcodes. It's an excellent plugin so long as customers remember to include the space in the middle of their postcode.

I need to offer free delivery for UK Outward codes BS39 and BS40. This is easy to set up, but my last customer entered his postcode as "BS406NL" rather than "BS40 6NL"(i.e. with no space) and it seems to confuse the system. I have tried using the ~ operator to check for an exact match at the beginning of the string, but that doesn't seem to work.

At the moment the customer is being overcharged so I would be really pleased to hear if there's an easy solution. It's a customer mistake that's bound to happen from time to time.

You are right, currenly the plugin only detects UK postal codes if at least one space is present. I've now uploaded version 2.4.3 of the advanced shipping by rules plugin to allow no space, too.

Please let me know if this release fixes your problem.

Just tested and the upgraded version works with or without space. Thank you very much for such a speedy fix. Very impressed overall with your plugin - it's a joy to use.

Problem solved.
