ukwazoo Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 The only table that is available in OSCommerce, which is close enough to being accurate is the table rate, which takes into account the weight of the product(s) ordered, and it ignores the location of the customer when quoting shipping prices. How would I go about finding a program or script that accurately quotes shipping prices based on weight and location? The USPS website kind of reads like greek. Thanks for any help.

wheeloftime Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 If you keep on bumping you'll get a headache :lol: Use the zones module if you want to differentiate between different countries/zones. There are several contributions which enhance this module in different ways but the default zone module might suffice. Read the text you will find inside catalog/includes/modules/shipping/zones.php carefully for how to add zones and how to define the rates (do this before you install the zones module).
