Flat Rate and Individual Shipping module HELP!

[afterhours.co.uk]

Hi

 

I currently have the 'Flat Rate Shipping' module along with the 'Individual Shipping' module (for cheaper shipping on smaller items) in my store.

 

My problem is this:

• - When a customer purchases 1 item, they are charged the Individual Shipping price for that item.
  - When they purchase 2 items, it adds the Individual Shipping prices together.
  - If 1 of the 2 items doesnt have an Individual Shipping value, the total is screwed and i lose out :cry:
  

What i would like to happen is:

• - When the customer purchases 1 item then they are charged the Individual Shipping price for that item.
  - When the customer purchases 2 or more items they are charged the Flat Rate Shipping price.
  (essentially a maximum shipping amount)
  

I cant find where to set a Maximum Shipping value -or- the relevant code to modify.. If anyone can help at all that would be great, just shout if you need any source code posting ect.

 

 

Many many thanks.

Why not use table rate shipping option and set your items per weight rather than a individual postage charge per item.

Postage is then calculated on the total order weight rather than individual prices which can be very expensive when using individual and and flatrate shipping.

Thanks for your reply.

 

I came to the 'Table Shipping' conclusion myself. Problem is, I have over 500 products already up and running in the store... :(

 

Surely, there must be something in checkout_shipping.php to modify? I just dont know what though!

 

Anyone ?
