|
| We tend to use Evri for parcels but have suddenly noticed that there is a "Location
Fee" added to parcels sent to Northern Ireland from England (where we are
based). Is there any way of allowing for this as I can see no way of splitting
Northern Ireland off from the rest of the United Kingdom.
Does anyone also know whether this fee is also added to any other destinations
such as the Scottish Islands? I believe parcels from Northern Ireland to Great
Britain are similarly charged but that doesn't effect us.
For the time being, any low value parcels to Northern Ireland will be sent by
Royal Mail even if the buyer selects Evri as their shipping method (a note has
been added). Any better solution?
Before anyone says how bad Evri are etc. etc. we have had very few problems with
them and whenever anything has gone astray (not for a long time now) they have
paid out in full.

A remote location for Northern Ireland is a new one, for sure. I don't think
there's a way to single out Northern Ireland in the same way it's never
been possible to pick out the remote Scottish Highlands and Islands postcodes
that usually incur an extra charge with most handlers.
There is an additional charge to Highland and island postcodes with Evri, see

Thanks, that list is what I had been looking for but couldn't find. Strangely,
I'm sure the charge was £2.65 on the page I did see it on! Inverness??
