Hey All,
Has anyone found an easy PHP solution to postage calculation, we want to use Royail Mail and ParcelForce for a clients postage needs, i have just entered all the Royal Mail rates manually, but the parcelforce ones are much more detailed…
Does anyone know of a way to price this better than manually entering prices?

There should be a Royal Mail and ParcelForce API which collects the prices live when you make the request. There are API’s for DHL and other couriers, so im guessing Royal Mail do one, but you might need to be a business customer to get hold of the API.
