tadyson Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I am having a very hard time understanding the philosophy of how this shipping module works. I have read and read and read posts on this forum in an attempt to undestand it. I want to be able to specify what the shipping amount will be - by the particular item. I don't want to customer to be able to select this. There will be one ship price associated per item. Some items will have free shipping. I tried the shipping tables option and chose "weight" - then put the following code in for my shipping table: 1:0,2:4,3:5,4:7,5:10 This way, I thought that if I put a "1" in the weight field for an item I wanted to have free shipping, and a "3" in the weight field for an item for which I wanted to charge $5 for shipping - this would do it, but it doesn't. After putting this into place, I made a test order for an item having supposedly free shipping, then during the checkout process, the shipping cost was listed as "Best Way - $7". What in the world? Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tadyson Posted July 29, 2005 Author Share Posted July 29, 2005 There is a contribution for doing this: http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1333/ <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Could this be any more complicated? Correct me if I'm wrong - but this looks like I have to edit 9 files. Is this correct? TD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seank123 Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 It's coming up with "Best Way - $7" because OSC is adding a 3Kg 'tare weight' to the basket - look in Admin->configurstion->Shipping & Packaging and change it to '0' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
