Hello, i have created ecommerce website on wordpress now i have royal mail API. I want to integrate royal mail API in my wordpress site. this plugin don't have provide API integration option. guide me another option.

I have been using the free version of this plugin for about a year. The prices charged for Royal Mail postage are accurate. I have had one issue following an update and the response and support was excellent. I highly recommend this plugin.

We switched up to the PRO version of this plugin to access the 'remove tax from shipping' element and found the plugin quick and easy to use. I got confused with some of the settings for WooCommerce + WordPress + Royal Mail Plugin, but WPRuby's customer support were so helpful and patient with me - I freely recommend using their products.

whoever built this does not know the royal mail prices in any shape or form. the lowest price it comes up with is for a parcel at over five pounds. According to this app its costing me more than mt actual product. Just to let you know it cost £3.66 to send a small parcell up to notice this bit "UP TO" 500g not £5.30 for 250g parcel. the only people who have given this 5 stars must be very shady people that like making a profit by over charging for postage. shame on you.

I have had the pro version for some time - and have recently been in contact with the developer to make a few corrections to some calculations errors we discovered. The response from support has been extremely helpful - with fixes and feedback within a day. The calculations for pricing is very accurate (Tip: Don't Check the "Remove Tax" Option), based on my testing with various product combinations, numbers and sizes. The developer has been very open to suggestions and recommendations - and the product has been recently improved with some very helpful additions. For example, each postage class can be individually adjusted - making it perfect to add the cost of packaging based on class or options selected. A great new feature that has been added includes using your own box sizes and packaging, and has great potential. I would highly recommend this to anyone seeking to use this plugin.

We have the pro version and it works reliably without the hangups we experienced with other shipping calculator plugins. However, it does consistently under price the cost of shipping, both UK and international and the cost of packaging has to be built into the product pricing.
