fringeusa Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 In case you guys don't get the shipping module upgraded with direct connection to shipping providers anytime soon, I'd like to suggest that you add a "base price" function to each carrier.The reason being, is FedEx has three levels of service for example. Each of them charge a base price, then a price on the weight-basis. Ground - $6 - 72nd Day - $10 - $15Overnight - $20 - $30 A similar activity is also done by USPS, where they have a base price, and then by-weight is added.So it's hard to provide additional shipping options via our website right now, because its calculation would be grossly inaccurate. This is only a minor issue, but in the future, it'd be great to see this, or even better the direct connection to carriers!Thanks in advance!

Correios in Brazil has three levels of service with two ways of charge in a price on a weight-basis:PAC - normal time: Charged in two ways, Capital state to capital state and Other cities to capital/Capital to other cities.SEDEX: Charged in two ways, Capital state to capital state and Other cities to capital/Capital to other cities.SEDEX10: Charged in two ways, Capital state to capital state and Other cities to capital/Capital to other cities.It could be a function in order.php to filter for the apropriate carrier if client adress be a capital state or no.(Im sorry my bad english) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
