Help please with shipping table

[Craftsupplies]

hi, first thanks to any help offered. I've been at this for hours today, and hours yesterday and just cant get it.

I'm trying to set up my shipping table.

 

Table Rate

 

Enable Table Method

True

 

Shipping Table

500:5.20,3000:9.20,500000:10.00.

 

Table Method

weight

 

Handling Fee

0

 

Tax Class

--none--

 

Shipping Zone

--none--

 

Sort Order

0

 

each item is 50 grams, so I've put 50 in the item description for its weight. My idea on the table was 500 meaning 500g, postage would be 5.20 than 3kg or 3000 grams shipping $9.20. than the last one is just a woo woo as I read somewhere in here that you need a last one to make the first two work.

Problem is I have one item in my cart but the shipping keeps coming up as $9.20. I am so lost. Have I missed something? ANY help greatly appreciated.

Have you set the package tare weight in Shipping/Packaging under Configuration to 0?

Isn't the shipping table in POUNDS? If you're using grams as your unit of measurement you may have to do some conversions...

I dont know if its in pounds or grams. does it matter with the same ratio? I dont know how pounds work, Can anyone clarify this? It does seem to be working with things so far.

the unit is what you say it is. Just make sure that if your weight of your product is in pounds, your shipping table is also in pounds. i.e. consistancy.

As long as you do that you can even make the unit peanuts.
