Cool.  So you could have greater prices for (say) outlying islands, etc?  I’ve not used table rates yet - is this some kind of multiplier or is it limited to a single set cost?

It is quite flexible. The table I set up was by weight and destination but there are other options such as per order or per item. Yes if you set up regions or postcodes then you can have different pricing for places that couriers charge extra for. I haven’t tested that out yet.

Thanks.  I’ll try and take a look at that feature today.

I get the following error trying to send the xml to Google Checkout when trying to set up UK postage

I have entered asterisks * instead for Region/State and Zip/Postal Code on the tablerates, but I think this is causing the error. I’ve also tried NULL, and 0.
On the Google API in Admin / System / Configuration I have enabled Merchant Calculated and Chosen [tablerate] UK Postage under allowed methods. If I disable Merchant Calculated I move successfully to the Google Checkout Sandbox, but Shipping doesn’t carry over.

I have changed my Tablerate.php as per the hack in http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/5789/

Do you have any ideas?

I’m getting that error as well

I haven’t been using the ‘weight vs destination’ table rate, but have previously had problems with ‘num of items vs destination’ table rate.  Problems were solved by copying this file from the upcoming 1.1 version…
app/code/core/Mage/Shipping/Model/Mysql4/Carrier/Tablerate.php

Also, check the formatting of you CSV file (I use OpenOffice instead of Excel)

Hi,

You have suggested GBR for Great Britain. Is there a list of others for the different countries?

If i wanted to do break it down to GBR / EU and Worldwide, how would i go about that?

Regards
