Default How to set postage costs?

Hi all

How do I set postage costs for individual items? Is there a module that allows me to set rules for shipping costs based on Royal Mail charges i.e. Standard Letter, Large Letter, Small Package etc?

If not then how do I set the cost for individual items when listing an item?

Many thanks
Arkie....

Ok think I may have found the answer with a Royal Mail Mod...

However, can someone tell me how to install a mod?

There will usually be a readme file contained within the mod's zip file. This will contain full instructions on how to install the mod.

Usually all it entails is uploading the unzipped files to the server, then configuring and switching on the mod from admin.

Hi Lawrence

Thanks for the reply. I found some instructions and thought I had followed them to the letter, but when I try a test purchase from my shop, it doesn't give me all the estimates for shipping. Not sure what I have done wrong.

Is it showing in the modules section of the admin page? If so, have you configured it?

And in Configuration - Shipping/Packaging in Admin is the Shipping Estimator Display Settings for Shopping Cart set to something besides 0?
