What is the best way to temporarily remove a country from the shipping

Post by 14Steve14 »

We are having lots of problems with Irish customs at the moment. More than half the orders we sent using Royal mail are returned by customs with no explanation as to why. We are having even less success using a courier as some no longer ship there.

What is the easiest way to remove Ireland from any shipping. Is it best in the shipping module to remove the Ireland country code, or remove the whole country from the countries list and not even allow Irish customers to sign up.

Depends on the shipping module. If it uses shipping zone, create a shipping zone without Ireland. If it uses country codes, remove the country code there.

Thanks for that. It has sort of confirmed my thinking as Ireland is a country code in the EU international shipping zone so is easy to remove. I was worrying about allowing Irish customers to sign up for an account and then they find that they cannot buy anything but I might change the no shipping showing message so they have to contact us or something.

Thanks. I will have a look at this and see what it does.
