Spread sheet format
The spread sheet must be in a csv format.
The first row of the spread sheet must be a heading row. It does not matter what the headings are, as long as they are meaningful to you e.g. you could have ‘Region’, ‘Area’ or ‘County’.
The columns required are:
| Column | Name | Additional Details |
| A | Postcode | The postcode that belongs to the area in the 2nd column |
| B | Area | The Area term used to identify the delivery zone |
Updating
Once you click submit, the rows on the spread sheet are validated. If no invalid data is detected, the carrier postcodes and their corresponding area will be updated.
