Kevin360 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Maybe someone can point me to a contribution... I couldn't find one. I have some items on my site that don't require shipping... I build hand drums, and have a 'custom' section where they can have the option to have one built custom. The charge on my site is a down payment and the actual cost of the drum will be billed when the drum is complete (along with actual shipping). However, when checking out, I have an option for either in store pick up or fedex ground. I tried making a weight of 0 to 1 lbs to charge 0 for shipping, but it looks like that is overlooked. I thought I could just set my weight to 0 for those products but again that doesn't work. Is there a contrib that will allow me to set up these products and not be bothered with shipping costs, or is there any type of work-around? Also, just thought about this while writing this post. I might would like to add specials where I run a few weeks of free shipping. Is there a good contrib for that? Would it be the same one?? Thanks for any input.

Look at Shipping/Packing in the Knowledge Base for more information about Package Tare Weight. If that doesn't help, searching contributions for "zero weight" finds http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/3823 Always back up before making changes.

Kevin360 Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 Thanks... It was the tare. I had it set at 3. I just reset it to 0, then have 0:0, in the fedex table. So any item that I don't want to charge shipping, I set the weight to 0. The user still has to select a $0.00 shipping option, but I can live with that. Would there be a simple if/else statement that I can use to skip the shipping page if the shipping price is 0. Or would that confuse it later at checkout?

chamtech Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 What is tare weight? I thought there is only one weight which is the product weight within the Admin prodouct page. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
