Hi all,

 

I want to charge for shipping is grams & not in kg's. Also if I have the weight on a product set to "0" the system must not charge for shipping for that specific item.

 

Can anybody please direct me to a contribution that does this as I have been looking for a few days no with no luck.

 

 

I have tried to use the table rate however that doesn't work out as all the figures go way off.

 

I want the system to work like this eg. if the item it 300grams then then system will charge per grams to get a correct figure & if other products are in the cart then the system should charge per additional gram for those items.

 

Thanks

I've got my store handling weights in grams. I'm running osC2.2MS2, so I don't know if it works the same way as MS1, but here's how I did it:

 

1. In Admin -> Configuration -> Shipping/Packaging, I set my maximum package weight to 50000, with a package tare weight of 60 and percentage increase of 10.

 

2. I assigned my product weights in grams (i.e. a CD is 130).

 

3. I created a number of table and zone modules to handle shipping to Canada (zones by region), US (one table rate so far) and International (two table rates). Then, in Admin -> Modules -> Shipping, I installed the files and set rates like this:

 

200:3.00,250:4.50,500:6.00,1000:9.00,1500:10.00,2000:11.00,3000:12.00,

3500:13.00,4000:14.00,4500:15.00,5000:16.00

 

(I'm only showing weight here to 5kg/5000 grams -- you can take it as far as you want...)

 

Mine seems to be working as it should -- at least so far. :)

 

If you'd like to see it in action, check my post in 'My Store' for a site review. I've included a test Email/password you can use for the cart, or you can create a test account. If you take it through to final checkout, just be sure to use the test cc number as noted in my post.

Hi,

 

Thanks. That seems to work for the time being. What happens if I want the fee shipping? Still enter the weight as 0 just like what I was doing before?
