Google Merchant Shopping - UK Mainland Shipping

[nezona]

Hi Guys,

I am setting up my first Google Merchant account. As it's only a couple of products to start, I am doing this manually rather than a xml feed, and got to shipping. If it is free shipping for UK mainland but different for scottish isles, scottish highlands and Northern Ireland, how do I reflect this?

What values do i use to suggest free shipping for UK Mainland and give different values for the others?

Regards

Neil

Neil,

Unfortunately this is not that easy - while you can create tables for delivery based on item (weight, handling time, perishability) the settings for location based variations are only available for the US, Australia and Japan.

You can see here that 'location_group_name' is a supported sub-attribute...but, like I say, it is only supported for the US and Australia (and location_id for Japan as well). Without being able to show these location specific variations you are then given an unattractive option...but unfortunately I think this is the one you will need to take.

"Overestimate if you can’t provide an accurate delivery cost. Match or overestimate the cost users would pay. "

Hope that helps.
