BenC Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I have a problem with shipping. My shop has alot of different sized items so each item needs to be setup to have its own shipping cost, I have done this by assigning a single weight used as a reference number to define the shipping cost. The problem I have is that when someone buys multiple items it adds up the weight and changes the range to another products shipping cost. This is causing me problems as sometimes 2 items would cost £50 to post but if the shop adds the weight up it could end in a £100 or £2 item category. Is there anything that can be done so that the shop doesnt add the weight and adds the price of shipping or has there been a module developed that can change the shipping to cater for individual items? Thanks Ben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirNewbie Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I am interested in this as well. Would like to set a shipping price for each product, not necessarily by weight (Some items have increased shipping cost if the box size is large enough). Has anyone had success in this?

Dave L Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 When you add a product to the ctalogue there is a field called 'additional shipping cost'. Apply the item shipping cost here. Set the fees for all weights in 'Fees by carrier' to '0' then the shipping will show up as 0 + Additional shipping cost. Better still, set the shipping to price based, have a single price range for the carrier of 0 to 10,000 (or other large number) and set the Fees by carrier for this price range to '0'. Doing this the price based way means there will be no need to add a weight to your product. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenC Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 The additional shipping cost wont work the shipping cost differs depending on where its going to be sent. Would price range still not be the same ideally what I need is a seperate cost for each item depending on destination and when the shop does multiple orders all these shipping costs get added up to a single total instead of adding up and defining the cost by another set range.

While the default shipping module is quite flexible and you can be creative in the way you set it up, I'm pretty sure you can't have a price per item per destination. It need to be either a fixed price per item for all destinations or price/weight based. You may find a 3rd party shipping module if you have a search around but I don't recall seeing one like this.
