Dishmop Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Trying to set my site up so that I can vary postage in relation to the number of items that a buyer purchases. i.e. 1 item = 1lb in weight. I set the option in shipping for 1:3.50,2:5.50,3.7.00, I do a test run and buy 1 item and the checkout says there is 2lb in weight. I buy 2 items and it says there is 3lb in weight?????????????????? Anybody help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dishmop Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 Quite honestly,, having sat here for 6 hours trying to configure the postage, it seems to me that there is no way that I can set different postal rates for different products, and therefore its not a lot of good.

Works for everyone else that uses the standard OSC with no contribution that cause errors.. tare weight zero percentage increase zero it will work out the total weight according to what you put in your cart (unless you have a template, then anything is possibe).

Dishmop Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 It might well work out the total weight of the same product but when I add a small item that has a low post rate it doesnt add a small weight,,it adds the weight and postal cost of a big item Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
