TropicalReef Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I have never been able to get PrestaShop to work correctly for shipping. I have two separate categories of products that I ship, "Wet Goods", and "Dry Goods". Each category of product needs to be handled as an entirely separate orders as the "Wet Goods" are perishable.I ship the "Wet Goods" by price. The price varies by item. If the user buys a certain dollar amount of product, they receive free shipping, via FedEx in the US only. I was able to get PrestaShop to work fine when that was the only type of products I had.I have since added some additional products "Dry Goods" that don't require such expensive shipping. I'm shipping these items via USPS and have a fixed weight and price per unit. Typically they are sold individually and I'm also selling these internationally. US and International have different shipping rates depending upon the country.If I set up shipping for "Dry Goods in the US" as the default, shipping doesn't calculate properly for the "Wet Goods".Conversely, if I ship up default shipping for the "Wet Goods", and the buyer adds the "Dry Goods" to their cart, the shipping is incorrect. I would also need the ability to set up the appropriate shipping rate for "Dry Goods" for each country in which I have customers.Is there any way to set this up in PrestaShop? I've worked on this for days and several versions of PrestaShop and still don't find a way to do this.Can you look into adding this functionality into PrestaShop?

FutureLED Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Hi,I think I'd set up ship by weight, and have the different carriers shipping different weight ranges, I don't know your products but something like (it doesn't need to be actual weight you are just using a number to id the product type), ie: Dry Goods 0.1 to 100 kg ship by USPS. Wet goods 1000kg to 10000kg by Fedex. So in your catalogue 1 Wet thing may actually weigh 1 kg, you put its weight as 1001kg so it gets the correct shipper. if a customer mixes them the Wet goods rate will apply. Hope that make some sense.Rgdsallan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
