We use weight bands to restrict shipping options for the customer at the checkout. Different weight bands allow/restrict access to different postal services depending on made up weights we give items. for example flat items get access to large letter (although this service is not available on integration) and knives only have access to Age verified services (also not on integration) now that we're shipping internationally we have had to add another weight band to prevent internationally prohibited items... it's a faff and not how weight bands should be used but there's no other option as of yet. This also means we have to weigh each item when tendering for shipping... We sell a lot of the same item so it's frustrating for the staff picking and packing. The integration for us isn't quite fit for purpose, it's a slow process since we're having to weigh each item every time and some services aren't yet on the integration like our desired international service so we're paying 30% more for our international sales postage because we're having to use an old Royal Mail Mapping Code.... so we have to still use click and drop. Large letter tracked or the additional age verification services aren't yet on the integration. Today i was hoping to add an additional cost to a particular brand from different store as we'd be able to drop ship but the minimum order for free postage is significantly higher than ours. There is no option for this. There's no option to simply ban certain items from international sale, a check box akin to click and collect only would be a great addition to the product card for this. So we could easily block liquids and pointy things, rather than using weight bands. I don't believe there are any updates planned to the shipping module?? We see this as an area that could save us a huge amount of time now our volume of sales has increased, if it could be streamlined or even improved slightly. If anyone has a better solution please let me know. All the best
