Looooking for help regarding shipping cost

[Chezmoi]

Hi,

 

I have a hard time wondering how to be able to get different shipping prices for different items from different locations to different locations...

 

Basically, I could use Canada Post (I live in Canada) but I do not have all the items in stock at my home. I use drop-shipping from USA.

 

So, what to do? If I set a single rate fee, I will have trouble because shipping in USA or in Canada is not the same. Also, I deal with companies who cannot ship to Canada at all...

 

What I'd like would be:

 

- Each item can be sent only to specific countries with specific prices;

- Since I use drop-shipping my "location" is not the same for each item...

 

Anybody has any idea what to do? Am I the only one from Canada using dropshipping with osCommerce?

Thank you!

Another thing... I tried to set the "per item" rate but Paypal only takes the sub-total and do not consider the osCommerce shipping cost I added. Sure, I could use Paypal's own shipping cost options, but then it is not shown in osCommerce and it looks awful...

 

This is really a mess... Can hardly believe how complicated this is...

Do you think the Ebay auction manager for osCommerce would be a solution?

 

Thanks!

I tried to install auctionblox program but when I try to install it here is the message I get:

 

Warning: main(includes/application_top.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/louisp/domains/chezlouis.ca/public_html/catalog/admin/auctionblox.php on line 11

 

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'includes/application_top.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/louisp/domains/chezlouis.ca/public_html/catalog/admin/auctionblox.php on line 11

 

Any idea?

 

Is it possible that this is due because I installed osCommerce in /catalog directory instead of putting it right on my site?

 

Please help!

 

Thanks!

This is weird... I have both a /iadmin and a /admin folder and both have osCommerce files in it... Hmm...

Anyone else have trouble setting osCommerce's shipping module for different location shipping?
