Hi, I want to use table wieght for shipping but there is no module weight unit at the bottom to edit or change to pounds. Also I have filled in the weights with the prices I want to charge for instance I charged 5.50 for up to 2 lbs. but it is charging 8.50 for up to 2 lbs. any ideas? thanks

It's not specifically any actual weight type. You can use anything you like and it should still be the same. Pounds, kilos, giggles, anything.

 

If you have a book, and it weighs 3 pounds, you could enter the weight something like 3.0 (3 1/2 pounds would be 3.5 etc)

If you were using kilos, the same book would weigh around 6 kilos, so would be entered as 6.0 (in your product description, not shipping tables)

 

Then in your shipping table, you would put something like

5:10.00,10:15.00,20:30.00

 

So anything weighing up to 5 units (in your case it's pounds) would charge $10.00 shipping. Between 5 and 10 units, it charges $15.00 etc.

 

Does that make sense?

I used to be insane, but now I'm just nuts ;)
