Weight Table Shipping Rate Problem

[lolmannz]

Hi guys I'm having trouble getting the table rate working for weight

I have selected weight in the table rate options. I'm using 2.2 RC1 Oscommerce.

 

I have an item at 200 grams (0.2 is the value I put in the product page)

 

Then when I check out with the table rate:

 

1:12.50, 1000:35.00 (just to test it out)

 

the price of shipping is $35.00 which makes no sense.

 

I found that if I increased it to:

 

4:12.50, 1000:35.00

 

then the shipping price finally becomes $12.50

 

then I decreased the initial value:

 

3.5:12.50, 1000:35.00

 

It went back to $35.00

 

This makes no sense I just can't see a connection between the weight and the pricing... does anyone have this problem?

 

I have also tested it with an item with ZERO weight

 

at 3:12.50, 1000:35.00 the cost is $12.50

but at 2:12.50, 1000:35.00 the cost is $35.00

 

I'm pulling my hair out because of this problem, why is it so damn strange???

Bet that, in admin configuration shipping/packaging, the tare weight is set at 3. This is the weight of your packaging, so it gets added to the total weight.
