Setting up pricing with London postcodes

Please note postcodes like W1, EC1, EC2, etc is not accepted by the system. Reason for it is such postcodes does not exist, they are broken down into smaller districts like for W1 are WC1A, WC1B, WC1E, WC1H, WC1N, etc

For more details please see Wikipedia map https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_postal_district

 Note: Symbol “Z” located by Fixed Price means a zone based location is in use.

How Fixed Prices are prioritised?

In case some address matches two or more fixed prices (Postcodes or Zones), the system to determine which one to use will first sort them by order parameter (lower the number higher priority) and then check which one is the closest to the searched address and then apply the first one that was found. The order parameter can be set in Fixed Price -> Edit tab.
