simonr Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Is there anyway of giving the buyer the option for 2 different couriers?So both can be based on weight but you can choose between lets say 24hour servive or 48 etc etc.CheersSimon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandrin Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Yup, You just need to add another carrier...Go to the admin panel and click the "shipping" tab.Look for the sub tabs where it says "carriers", "states" , "countries" etcClick "Carriers" and then click "add new"Fill in all the details the same but change the "Transit time Time taken for product delivery; displayed during checkout"time.Is this what you are asking for?

simonr Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 HI yes I have tried that but the buyer still does not get the option to choose which one he wants?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandrin Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Hi there,Ok, there are a few things you are also going to have to do when you create a new carrier... Otherwise that carrier will not be displayed in the checkout setion...1) First, you need to setup the ranges: a) Click the "Shipping" tab in your admin backend. Click the subtab "Price Range" c) Click the "Add New" button d) In the Carrier drop down field choose the carrier you just created e) Enter the amounts for the "From" and "To" fields. Experiement/copy if you have a range you want to use f) Hit "Save" g) Click the "Shipping" tab in your admin backend. h) Click the subtab "Weight ranges" i) Click the "Add New" button j) In the Carrier drop down field choose the carrier you just created k) Enter the amounts for the "From" and "To" fields. Experiement/copy if you have a range you want to use l) Hit "Save"2) You now need to set a minimum value: (Please see attached image) a) Click the "Shipping" tab in your admin backend. Look at the bottom half of the section with the heading "Fees by carrier, geographical zone, and ranges" c) Click the "Carrier" drop down menu to choose the carrier you created. d) Input a minimum value... Can't be 0.00 or that carrier will not display f) Check that all your carriers have a minimm value set.That should be it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 HI thanks for your help.I am getting the option to change the type of shipping now but only on the shipping page after you have checked out is there any wasy of getting that option in the cart so customers can see the options straight away. If customers want a certain shippment they are not going to wait till the shipping page they wil go by what it says in the cart.Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandrin Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Not too sure here...The system needs to get to the point to offer your clients the opportunity to choose shipping method.That system needs to be calculated based on info you provided.Lets rather look at the checkout proccess, step by step that you want your clients to see..Can you put that here?
