UK Postcodes for Virtuemart

    Hi

    We're running Virtuemart on our Joomla 1.5 site and have had a plugin created which sets postage/shipping rates by item but is also dependent on where the product is shipped to in the UK. We have two delivery options (mainland UK and non-mainland). So for exmaple, shipping for product A is £10 to a mainland area and £15 to a non-mainland area, shipping for product B is £8 (mainland) and £12 (non-mainland).

    We need the system to be able to determine (by postcode) whether the delivery address is in the mainland or non-mainland area and charge accordingly.

    As there are 1.7miliion UK postcodes, this is a bit of a nightmare. Can anyone suggest a way to achieve this relatively easily or is there a simpler method we could use?

    Thanks, P
