It’s a fantastic plugin. I must say that the support I received from PH team was amazing. Initially, this PH Royal Mail shipping plugin was not compatible with CURCY – Multi Currency converter plugin, but PH team had solved the issue in less than two weeks and released the fix. Simply awesome and brilliant. Wow! good job guys.

Excellent plugin. Works exactly as described. After notifying them of a new RM service they were very quick to apply it to an update

Brilliant customer services. I wouldn’t use another postal plug-in as the customer service and the benefit of everything the plug-in offers is better than what is on the market, currently. Good work, people.

This plugin is great. It automatically works out the rate for packing multiple items and updates live as you change the address. Support is just as important as the plugin and these guys are extremely good.
