Shipping Module Advice Question


vichon

Recommended Posts

I have a site which is a bit complicated. For most items, the vendor can ship USPS. However, for some large pieces, he has to ship UPS. To make matters a bit more complicated, the weight of the package does not necessarily dictate the issue, it is more a size thing. On top of that, he does combined shipping depending on what is ordered.

 

For example, there may be two items which both weigh 5 lbs. each. One item fits into a small USPS flat right box. The other is over 6 feet and he has to ship UPS. Now if a customer orders both items, he will ship both items UPS.

 

Basically, the issue is that each order is somewhat custom depending on weight, size, and combination of what gets ordered. While he has a few products now, there may be 30 or more products in the near future.

 

He states that his customers tend to be very wary of excessive shipping charges so he is particularly sensitive to this issue.

 

What do you reccomend for modules and how can I address this diverse shipping scenario?

 

Thank you!
