Marc_J Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 I'm currently using 2 shipping modules - the Zone Rates that comes with osC (used for TNT Express rates) and the Zone Shiping Rates Update (UK Royal Mail) contrib for UK Postage rates wordlwide. The postal rates are only good for orders up to 2Kgs, after that the TNT rates tend to be better. The customer gets to choose from both methods at the checkout. I only priced the postage rates up to 2Kgs, for orders above that weight the postal option is still able to be selected, although it says "The shipping rate cannot be determined at this time" and the price is shown as 0.00. My point is, if someone sees a shipping charge of 0.00 they'll invariably click it and proceed, especially if given another option which has a price (which they SHOULD be selecting). Is there a way of disabling a shipping module above a certain weight, so that the postage method isn't offered above 2 Kgs? I know I could put an extra entry at the end of postal rates like ...1.9:16.48,2:17.33,100:500.00 to make sure no-one selects it over 2 Kgs (who wants to pay ?500 shipping?) but that seems a "messy" way of doing things... Also, I could combine the two into one module (postal rates <= 2Kgs, TNT rates > 2Kgs) but I want to give customers the option of express shipping at an extra charge, for lighter orders.
Marc_J Posted September 7, 2005 Author Posted September 7, 2005 Just noticed the "Shipping Modules" forum and re-posted this there.... http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=169313 Apologies for the double post!
