<h1>Easily offer Royal Mail shipping rates</h1>
<p>The WooCommerce <strong>Royal Mail</strong> shipping extension allows you to offer Royal Mail shipping rates to customers without the need for an API, as Royal Mail does not provide a public API.</p>
<p>To use this extension, your store must use <strong>GBP currency</strong> and have the <strong>United Kingdom</strong> as the base country, and your products need to be set up with weights and shipping dimensions.</p>
<p>This extension primarily works with <code>mm</code> and <code>g</code>, but other units are converted automatically!</p>
<h2>Features</h2>
<ul>
<li>Choose what Royal Mail services you want to offer customers.</li>
<li>Customize the names of services.</li>
<li>Add extra costs to services, if you wish.</li>

</ul>
<h2>Supported services</h2>
<p>This extension supports all the UK and international sending services offered by Royal Mail and Parcelforce in <a href="https://www.royalmail.com/current-postage-prices">the current Post Office and Online price guides</a>.</p>

Royal Mail Shipping Method

<p>Offer Royal Mail shipping rates to your customers.</p>

<p>This is a fantastic solution if your store is selling one-off, heavy or large products which require additional shipping, unlike the rest of your catalog, or if you only have a few products with set shipping fees.</p>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-primary">
<li>Add costs to the<strong> other shipping methods</strong>, or used as a <strong>standalone</strong> shipping method.</li>
<li><span style="line-height: 13px">Define<strong> line and per-item</strong> costs per <strong>product</strong> or per <strong>variation</strong>.</span></li>
<li>Define different shipping <strong>costs for products</strong>, based on <strong>customer location</strong>.</li>
<li><strong>Import and export</strong> rates via the built-in simple CSV handler.</li>
<li>Use as a <strong>standalone</strong> shipping method, where the final cost is the sum of all product costs.</li>
<li>-or- add per-product costs to other shipping methods</li>
</ul>

<h2>How Per-Product Shipping can be used</h2>
<p>Per-Product Shipping can be used in two ways:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Multiple Shipping Methods</strong>: If enabled, rates can be applied in addition to your other shipping methods. For example: If your store offered a bulky product that you wanted to set up with extra shipping fees, you could create a fee to be added to that specific product. If you had multiple items in your cart, two kinds of shipping would be represented in one cost — a) your default shipping costs for the other items in the cart, and b) the shipping cost of the bulky item.</li>
<li><strong>Standalone Method</strong>: In this scenario the ‘per-product shipping’ is the default shipping method. In this case, all product costs are added together to form a single rate. When the Standalone method is chosen, no other shipping methods are offered.</li>
</ol>
