Shipping/Additional Shipping cost question

[nickelus]

Hi all,

 

I wonder if you can help me.

 

I'm trying to set a postage/shipping cost per item. After a bit of searching, I realized that if I set all ''carrier'' parameters to 0, then I could go to ''Additional Shipping Cost'' on the specific product page, enter a value (eg. £6), and then only that value would be used as a shipping cost.

 

My problem is, I want to do this, with different values for different regions.

 

For example, one type of product I sell is a t shirt. I want the shipping cost of a t shirt WITHIN the UK to be £6.00.

 

Within Europe/The E.U £10.25

 

and to the US/WORLDWIDE - 12.60.

 

Is there any way I can set the shipping cost per product (like I have done with ''Additional shipping cost''), but add additional values for the EU and the US?

 

I tried creating a new carrier, then adding a new ''additional shipping cost'' value and selecting the carrier, but you can only have ONE 'additional shipping cost' value.

 

I basically wonder if there is any way I can do this?

 

Please let me know.

 

Thanks very much.

Good morning

 

Have you tried setting up different shipping costs per zone, that is every country is a seperate zone.

Then add aditional shipping costs per product.

 

Just thinking aloud

Hi Paulito!

 

I could do that, but the problem would remain that under ''additional shipping cost'' only one value can be entered, when I would actually need 3 different values (shipping cost for: UK, EUROPE and US).

 

EDIT: I understand what you mean, so basically make use ''additional shipping cost'' to make up the difference and achieve different values per region?

 

Wouldn't that take a very long time? Especially considering I'm trying to set the cost per specific ITEM.

 

Isn't there an easier way?

 

I sometimes genuinely wonder why the 'eBay' model wasn't followed (eg. set a value for shipping in your own country, shipping to Europe and shipping worldwide). It's so much simpler.

Hello again

 

Shipping is always a nightmare, I think that sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and not make so much on some of your orders.

 

Have you googled for "shipping module prestashop"

 

Sorry I cannot be anymore help for you

Hi Paulito,

 

Well I've decided to do the following:

 

I wanted different shipping rates for UK, EUROPE and US/INTERNATIONAL.

 

I decided to make a NEW ZONE, called UNITED KINGDOM.

 

I enabled this zone and then assigned the country ''United Kingdom'' to the ZONE UNIED KINGDOM.

 

I then created a new carrier which is ONLY for shipping to the zone UNITED KINGDOM with a shipping cost of £5.

 

When I add a product to my cart however, the shipping cost is NOT applied.

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

Any help would be very appreciated.

 

Thank you!

Hey guys

Did anyone find a solution for this?

Thanks and best regards,
