Hello,

 

I ve got a question regarding shipping fees.

 

Let?s say I offer two kinds of products in my store. Product A has got a shipping fee within my country (Germany) of 5 ?. Product B has got a shipping fee within Germany of 20 ?. There is no logical connection between the two different shipping fees (I mean e.g. that product B is not 4 times as heavy as product A). OK ... Until now I could solve my problem using the contribution

Individual Product Shipping Prices - v1.0

Now the more tricky part comes:

 

Product A can be delivered to the countries C, D and E. All of these countries have got different shipping fees. Product B can be delivered, let?s say to the countries D, E, F, G. All of these countries again have got diffferent shipping fees. The shipping fees of D and E shall also differ from the ones that apply to A. Again there is no connection, that means that you can?t say: Delivering a product to D is e.g. 10 ? (or 5 % or whatever) more expensive than delivering it witin Germany.

 

You see, my problem is that I want to define an individual shipping fee for each product and also define different zones with different shipping fees for each product individually.

 

Does anybody know if that?s possible? You would help me a lot.

 

Thanks in advance ..

If you do not find any logic in your shipping quotes and you also want to ship internationally you have a problem. Maybe you could create a new table with the product id as key and program a module around it where you can dynamically assign multiple shipping costs with dedicated shipping zones attached to it.

Than you create a shipping module which checks the customers shipping address, queries the cart for the individual product(s) and retrieves the associated shipping price.

How you gonna work with multiple products .. ?! I suppose you don't want to simply add up the individual shipping costs ?!
