theMusicMan Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 Hi All Is there a simple way to ammend the shipping costs associated with a specific item. For example, one of my products will be Small Stickers... now I don't want to charge the same amount for shipping these items as say a polo-shirt... how do I set/fix the shipping price on a specific item>? Thanks John

theMusicMan Posted July 6, 2003 Author Posted July 6, 2003 In shipping their are many ways to set prices, different shipping ways, look in your cart, shipping and decide what to do. I will do thanks... but perhaps I didn't explain my requirement sufficiently enough; I can only see the following shipping types Flat Rate: a fixed amount per every order - same amount for every order Per Item: a fixed amount per every item - same amount for every item regardless of size/weight of item Table rate: variable rate per number if items ordered by price or by weight UPS and US systems: Postal service in the USA or UPS service What I am after is a variable rate per each item. Is there a way to make the amount charged for delivery of items linked to the specific item. So, customers can buy 1 item, if that is a heavy, XXL SweatShirt, this amount charged will be the same even if the customer purchased a small case sticker. The cost me would be different i.e. XXL PoloShirt maybe = ?1.50, a small sticker = UK postage (30p) and I don't think that is fair to my customers, hence my request. I can see perhaps how this could be done via a table pricing structure based on weight, so maybe that's the way to go. But as I'm not familiar with the intricacies of osCommerce just yet I thought I'd ask the experts. :) In shipping their are many ways to set prices, different shipping ways, look in your cart, shipping and decide what to do.Man you have a lot of posts Can I ask.... we all know it is difficult to read 'body language' on the net, but do I detect an undertone that you're somewhat annoyed with something I've done!!

Here is a contribution that does this in a more general fashion, if table shipping doesn't help you. Hth, Matt
TB Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 Man you have a lot of postsIsn't that what the forum is for...? Can I ask.... we all know it is difficult to read 'body language' on the net, but do I detect an undertone that you're somewhat annoyed with something I've done!! Yes! Questions are what the forums are for... and a place of learning. Learning will progress over time, as you become more familiar with concepts and codes osCommerce uses. As for questions, I have a few statements on them: The only stupid question is the question you don't ask! I'd rather look the fool for 5 minutes, than a fool forever! This one is so true. If you don't take the oportunity to find the answer to a question you have, then you will continue to not know the answer forever! My $0.02 worth... Tony "The price of success is perseverance.

theMusicMan Posted July 6, 2003 Author Posted July 6, 2003 Well said Tony.... and thank you :) I'm the one in the room who will always ask the questions everyone else is afraid to ask...:) Cos as you rightly point out, if you don't ask, you'll never know... John
