Hi Im just downloaded this mod...and after browsing the board Im not sure if it will do what i need..cant see a clear answer to my question....sooooo.... Im hoping to get an answer here first rather than install it to find its not what I need

 

90% of my sales are dvd's ... so i am using priority mail..setting it to charge a 4.00 handling fee, and and a shipping cost of 1.00

 

that in effect makes it 5.00 for the first dvd and 1.00 for each additional dvd

thats exactly what i need for that 90% of my products.... its simple and works well

 

the problem is with the other 10%, that can weight more and are gen. larger than a dvd

 

what I am after is a method that will run along side using priority mail, in other words for lack of a better term.. I simply want to add additional shipping on to a few items without changing my current setup..... and thats what I could not see m to figure out..... does this mod run along side my current shipping method so both can be used at the same time

 

so can i just add an extra 2.00 shipping for example to a product, and have the shipping total be higher without presenting additional shipping options to the customer... I only offer priority mail and do not want any alternatives....

(and no I can not use weight as any kind of factor because for my category sorting...i use weight to sort by then use the weight option to force the sort order.... so doing any kind of weight add on is out)

 

so I would appreciate a heads up before I install this..thanks :)

Could you use charge by wt.

 

Put wt of all dvds to 1.

 

Add tare wt of 4 in admin.

 

Put wt of other to dollar value you want to charge for each one you send.

 

Set up shipping charges 1,1:2,2:3,3:4,4:5,5:.......
