Seems like l'm not getting a reply on this :( I wonder why? Am l asking a silly question here or not making sense?! <_< Or the answer is right there which l'm unaware of?

 

My inquiry is : l have set to a specific maximum weight and IF the shipping modules couldnt find a weight amount and it would say " NO GOODS WILL BE DELIVERED --> at $0.00 cost " or just to get rid of that $0.00 amount shown somehow. Cause the customer could still select this shipping and The customer would then think, that he /she will gets their order without shipping costs or unaccidentally purchase it eventhough they're aware of the written words so l would like to Prevent it from happening.

 

Well, is the file under : admin/includes/classes/shipping.php?

 

if (is_array($this->modules)) {

$shipping_quoted = '';

$shipping_num_boxes = 1;

$shipping_weight = $total_weight;

 

if (SHIPPING_BOX_WEIGHT >= $shipping_weight*SHIPPING_BOX_PADDING/100) {

$shipping_weight = $shipping_weight+SHIPPING_BOX_WEIGHT;

} else {

$shipping_weight = $shipping_weight + ($shipping_weight*SHIPPING_BOX_PADDING/100);

}

 

if ($shipping_weight > SHIPPING_MAX_WEIGHT) { // Split into many boxes

$shipping_num_boxes = ceil($shipping_weight/SHIPPING_MAX_WEIGHT);

$shipping_weight = $shipping_weight/$shipping_num_boxes;

}

 

$include_quotes = array();

 

reset($this->modules);

while (list(, $value) = each($this->modules)) {

$class = substr($value, 0, strrpos($value, '.'));

if (tep_not_null($module)) {

if ( ($module == $class) && ($GLOBALS[$class]->enabled) ) {

$include_quotes[] = $class;

}

} elseif ($GLOBALS[$class]->enabled) {

$include_quotes[] = $class;

}

}

 

if so, under which line should I amend it? Or I'm looking at the wrong file??? l've read from forum to offer expensive rate so they will not go beyond the limit weight but l dont find it appropiate ideas and thats why l'm seeking for a solution here. :huh:

 

Appreciated!!!

I may not have the answer you require but hey!

 

Why would you want to restrict sales? You can send separate packages which won't go over 5 kilos each but you'll make more money??? As a customer, I'd be p'd off if a seller tried to restrict my buying on something I was prepared to pay for - and I'd shop elsewhere.

 

My shipping rate table just takes anything over 10k and divides it in two packets or whatever, as 10k is my max weight.

 

Just a suggestion....

Thank You for your suggestion TigerGirl ,

 

The reason l did this is all my item weight are mostly very light. The maximum content l had is 0.78kg. And Yup, it might turn off some customers but this is how l want it to be "Strictly 5kg Only". lf they insist on buying items from my site- they have no other way But to decreased the weight content. lf the customers are unhappy with the maximum weight provided - they're most welcome not to shop at my site and shop elsewhere. lt may sounds hush to some of you out there BUT Thats the restriction of my site.

Thats why l'm seeking some help here for prevention of some stubborn customers who ignored the Restriction n continue with purchases cause once payment being made or if somehow they unaccidently made a mistake or blindly unware of it - * No such refund will be given.* Even if the Overall weight content was above even a slight of half/ 1grams - l will remove 1 item frm their shopping cart purchases to reduce below 5kg and the item that was remove, l will not Refund the amount costs and My site will not hold any responsiblity due to their own mistakes and it is their own responsibility to be Aware of it.

 

So if there is a clue or file to hack it (which l'm dying to know) or any suggestion or comment, please do not hesitate to infrm me. l might somehow put ur ideas into re-consideration.

 

Thank You

Is that legal? If I were you I would check out the law. Please do let us know your URL so we don't ever shop there...

 

good luck with the legal battles and chargebacks from you ripping people off and pissing people off...

 

Sorry to be blunt but this is not the sort of thing I'd want to be associated with and brings down the good name of decent and trustworthy e-commerce business.
