Shipping message

[Cosmic_mouse]

Instead of shipping options I'd like to put up a message in the shipping tab and either remove the shipping from the final calculation or put something like "to be determined at confirmation"

 

Is this possible?

Yes it is possible, the downloaded products do not have shipping. It is easier to get the store to calaculate the shipping and put it in the order total.

Uhm... it's kind of complicated to implement my shipping costs.

 

The options are:

A) in this city:

- delivery by courier: flat rate but if it's over a certain value then it's free

- delivery to industrial park: flat rate (but cheap) and if it's over a certain value then it's free

 

B) in the entire country:

- delivery by courier: first kg has a price then the subsequent kgs have another

- delivery by post: same as courier only different prices

 

 

 

Also payment is based on delivery:

A) by bank transfer

 

B) Cash on delivery:

- by courier: has some taxes associated

- by post: has other taxes associated

- delivery to industrial park has no aditional taxes

 

 

That's all rather complicated and convulted.

 

So I'd rather just disable the shipping calculations, give the customer a message and settle with him/her on the phone how it's going to be delivered

If there is some more easy way to implement what I described (like some contributions I can stack) please tell me

I think all the shipping options can be easily handled thru code.

Its not a good idea for a customer to pay You in two parts once for the value and other time for the shipping they may just not take that much of extra efforts if Your competitors are as good as You are services are.

 

 

Rather create zone,ask for option in delivery whether it isd industrial park etc.

Then in Your shipping module apply logic within function quote and get it done.

 

Well for sure this can be achieved by some one who know How shipping works in oscommerce to some extent.

I'm already doing it through the phone and my competition is doing pretty much the same. I've looked into a php programmer helping me write the shipping module but it's going to take a while.

 

In the meantime I really need to put up some sort of message instead of the shipping and payment options. What do I need to edit to do that?

nobody?
