Please use its replacement Shipping - Extra Features.
This plug-in extends the manual shipping plug-in distributed with Hikashop.
Additional features include:
- UK, Netherlands and Canadian postcode formats supported.
3 to 10 length numeric postcode / zip formats supported.
Default ZIP functionality still available - and enhanced.
- Support for same day delivery - e.g. orders received before 10am (see note 2).
- Support for next day delivery - e.g. orders received before 5pm (see note 2).
- Support for product delivery / installation options (using product custom fields, see note 1).
- Support for order delivery date plug-ins, available separately (see note 1).

- Administrator shipping methods listing can additionally be filtered by:
Postcode (using same formula applied at checkout - useful for checking postcode criteria).
Warehouse (optional - enable in plugin options).
- Ability to restrict a shipping method by category item quantity limit.
The required features can be selected in the Joomla plug-in manager. This reduces what can be a bewildering array of options in the Hikashop Shipping Methods editing screen to just those which are going to be used.

- Note 2: Works with 'Hikashop Starter'.
