 * Hi,
 * Can you advise as to what postcode format is acceptable for shipping? e.g. can
   the postcode be a mix of postcodes with a space and without a space or do we 
   need to remove spaces (or add spaces)?
 * TN138XB
   TN125LLTN2 4DBTN5 8JA
 * Will a postcode setup as e.g. TN2 4DB also be found if typed as TN24DB
 * Thanks.

 * Those are UK postcodes?
 * Woo seems to handle them really well – it doesn’t matter if the customer inputs,
   for example, TN2 4DB or TN24DB – it treats both as TN2

 * Hello [@elainewildash](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elainewildash/)’
 * I agree with [@seank123](https://wordpress.org/support/users/seank123/).
 * In WooCommerce, we do not enforce any specific format for the postcode field 
   in the shipping address. This means that your customers can enter their postcodes
   with or without spaces, and our system will accept both formats.
 * For example, a postcode like TN2 4DB can also be entered as TN24DB, and both 
   will be recognized as valid by WooCommerce.
 * Therefore, while WooCommerce does not enforce a specific postcode format, it 
   might be a good practice to advise your customers to enter their postcode in 
   the format preferred by your shipping carrier. You can add this information to
   your shipping guidelines or FAQs for your customers’ convenience.
 * I hope this clarifies your concern.
