Shipping Carriers

[annashial]

Hi, I am using prestashop 1.6. I configured some shipping carriers which are used by specific products. For example for the "small products" I use one carrier, and for the "big ones" I use another carrier. But I want, if a customer adds to cart a small product and a big product, the available carrier will be the one for the big products only. Now it doesn't display any carrier options because the two products have no carrier in common. Any ideas on how to achieve this?

I would suggest a different approach.

 

Don't add specific carriers for products, but instead set weight for each product and then configure the carriers depending on weight. Then the available carriers will adjust according to products in cart.

Thanks for the reply. I already set the carriers I created according to total price, because the shipping costs for those carriers depend on price. So, I think I can't do what you suggested. Any other ideas?

I tried to do this with the weights and I have a question. Let;s assume I create a carrier and I set for example the weight > 100kg. If I assign this carrier to all of my products, it will be displayed just for the products (or total of them) which have weight >100? Or it will be displayed anyway?

Because this was what I tried to do. I assigned it to all of my products but I set weight >100, and i set the weight <100 for the products I did not want to display. But it is displayed anyway. What is going wrong?
