United Kingdom or Great Britain

Postby ultra1bob » Tue Jan 22, 2008 5:34 pm

I was sending a parcel to the UK, and received an error message through Endicia that the PO wants the country to be called Great Britain. Your drop down list only gives the option of United Kingdom.

You might want to check on that and fix as necessary.
Thanks.

You can change the text for the country name to which ever you would like. ( Commerce Setup > States and Country) The default text in a 9.0 store is United Kingdom (Great Britain) ) The "UK" abbreviation for the US postal service goes to the country of Ukraine, so putting just UK on a package may delay the shipment until someone in Ukraine figures out it should be going to Great Britain ;-). The underlying code uses the proper postal designation for getting rates for the United Kingdom / Great Britain.
