Magento Royal Mail Shipping Options Extension

One of the few drawbacks to Magento has been it’s lack of UK Shipping options making it difficult to offer a competative and flexible postage options to website visitors.

However this has now been solved with the release of the Royal Mail Shipping Options Extension this great extension.

The extensions initially only calculated UK rates but due to requests from the Magento Community; EU and World Wide rates were introduced. Currently most of the Royal Mail’s service line has been factored in, see the options below:

  • Firstclass Packet
  • Firstclass Packet (Recorded Signed for™)

  3. Hello,
    I installed the Royalmail extension to my site. But it shows me

    “Sorry, no quotes are available for this order at this time.”
    I am providing following shipping address for testing on my localhost

    Pirzada jeelani
    Core Loops
    house no 122
    Los Angeles, kings street
    Los Angeles, California, 90062
    United States
    T: 4454700

    I would like to know why I get “No Quotes” message. May you also tell me what if Royalmail shipment rates change, how is this extension going to keep updated.
    Kind Regards
    Pirzada Jeelani
