Differences in shipping times

[Darkmarauder]

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to find a way to allow for the difference in shipping for different items.

For example, my mp3/mp4 players etc come from America, with the possibility of delivery taking upto 14 days. Whilst a majority of the rest of my stock taking considerably less time to arrive.

So I need something in the shop, when either looking at the item or atleast when going to the checkout that it DOES NOT show my standard delivery, and specifies the amount of time the item will take to ship.

Please note I am not trying to charge different amounts, just show the difference in delivery time.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Presta does not support different delivery times, it was requested as feature several times:

and also discussed in the forum several times:

You can try to contact amwdesign, he probably can offer this feature:

In the meantime simple solution is the following. You can modify message "product in stock" for each particular product. For example, for you MP3/MP4 players it can look like: "delivery in 10-14 days", for other items: "delivery in 2-3 days".

The main drawbacks - you need to write this line for each your product and you can not allow product preordeing (with payment only when product arrives).
