Shipping Weight 3lbs Bigger Than Product Weight...why?

[stephenmarron]

I have set up shipping zone which are fine,

I have entered in product weights in the catalog section, eg:25.52lbs,

But when i go to checkout the weight is increased to 28.52lbs?

 

Does anyone know why this happens and how to remove it?

Many thanks

Stephen

Hi Guys,

 

I cant believe i didnt see that....

Thank you for your help,

 

Just while im on the subject, I have another questio for you, if you care to answer...

 

I have set up 6 shipping zones, for european countries, but if someone from say american or jamica or anywhere else in the world registers and buys a product, they will not be charged for shipping, is there a way of implementing a set charge for shipping to countries that are not included within my zones?

 

Thank guys,

Stephen

Set up another zone for rest of the world.

Set up another zone for rest of the world.

 

And then just enter the iso codes for every country?

Is there a less tedious way of approaching this?
