Royal Mail Real-Time Rates Limitations

There are no API endpoints provided from Royal Mail side, therefore Real-Time rates cannot be requested on the fly.

For that reason we have worked on creating Table Rates methods equivalent to the rates Royal Mail provides generally.

​

This can be used as a workaround to cover the real-time rates depending on the product weight and size:

We are ready to provide you with a package of pre-configured methods to imitate real-time rates from Royal Mail.
