<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>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>
<li><strong>Pack items individually</strong> or use our built-in <strong><a href="https://woocommerce.com/document/royal-mail/#section-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">box packer</a></strong> to ship items in single or multiple package(s).</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>

<p><strong>Purolator supports V2 of the API in the latest versions</strong></p>
<div class="woo-sc-box info">The Purolator Shipping Method requires you to enter a Canadian postal code in the Origin Postcode field in the admin.</div>
<p>The Purolator Shipping Method uses the advanced Purolator API to calculate automatically the shipping charges of the cart. Based on the weight and dimensions of each product, the cost will be calculated and rates will be shown to the customer.</p>
<p>The types of shipping methods shown to the customer can be edited within WooCommerce settings.</p>
<p>This plugin works with domestic and international delivery shipping from Canada. Once your customer enters their shipping details, they can choose the best shipping method based on speed and cost.</p>
