Calculated Shipping from Different Origin Zip Codes


Recommended Posts

Is anyone aware how to do one of the following or of a module(s) that will do the following:

 

1. Link specific products to specific carriers?

 

2. Link specific suppliers or manufacturers to specific carriers?

 

3. Have different shipping zip code origins for different suppliers, manufacturers or products to help calculate shipping more effectiely?

 

We warehouse some of our items, but we also dropship a number of items from various artists around the United States. Some of our artists are in California and some are on the east coast and we've come to the decision that we need to more effectively calculate shipping.

 

Thanks in advance!

Just a quick follow up to expand upon my post above

 

 

I have a problem in that I use drop shippers scattered around the country, and thus ship from different origins. It appears we can only plug in one origin in prestashop. What this will cause is either me, or my customer taking a bit of a hit on shipping, as it cannot be accurately calculated by the plug in.

It does get complex as a customer may buy two items from one drop shipper and 1 item from another, thus it cannot be grouped together as one shipment. The UPS/USPS/FEDEX modules would take all of this into account when it has the origin zip of each product.

So anyway, its a feature or module request and its also an inviation to employ anybody who understands this code to make some money on the side doing it. I would hire somebody to do it. I would just like to have the feature so I can use what otherwise I think is great product.

Many of the ecomm solutions have this feature, they just don't come close in a lot of other ways to prestashop. Many businesses and websites and do not ship from just one location, whether they are big companies, or small like me, who uses various drop shippers.

I'd be willing to hire someone if no one knows of a module out there that would do this. One of the team members would of course be best as nobody knows the code better and he/she could assure its foldable into the full product then.
