In one way it is! It's due to the following:
The weight to cost for Royal Mail are preset only to package rates (not letter rates) in the file:
catalog/model/shipping/royal_mail.php
to the following for 1st class mail: (similar for other royal mail postings.)
$rates = explode(',', '.1:1.39,.25:1.72,.5:2.24,.75:2.75,1:3.35,1.25:4.50,1.5:5.20,1.75:5.90,2:6.60,4:8.22,6:11.02,8:13.82,10:16.62');
These are kilogram weights : GBP costs.
What's happening is that when everything is set to grams your running out of shipping options when your product weight exceeds 10 grammes hence the error message!
You cannot change these from admin in 1.4.9.4 - or any other version!
If you want to use or need to use Royal Mail then suggest you change all product sizes to cms and weights to kilograms
eg. 100gms becomes 0.1kg
Make sure these are the sizes and weights of the PACKAGED items; as this is the basis of the Royal Mail charge to you!
Do this also at bottom of page at:
Admin/System/Settings/Local
Change Length Class to Centimeter and Weight Class to Kilogram.
A lot of work if you have a lot of products but you should see the problem disappear!
Hope this helps!
PS. Have almost finished the files needed to be able to alter Royal Mail shipping costs etc. from Admin. Will let you know when they are ready!
Also Royal Mail are putting their prices up on 04 April 2011 so the prices in 1.4.9.4 will be incorrect!
