TerryK Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 All of the phrases you posted are defined in the language file for each shipping method (/catalog/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/) and can be changed to suit your needs. In my case, I use table rate for some of my regions, and zones for others. I have defined shipping as, for example: Overseas Air Mail (used table rate) Overseas Surface Mail (used table rate) US Air Mail (used table rate) Canada Post (used region-based zone shipping) Because mail within Canada (where I'm located) is significantly different from one coast to the other, I used a contribution to set up region-based zones. In it, I defined the west coast provinces with one weight-based formula, central provinces with a second, and the east coast with a third. Shipping to the US and overseas are pretty much the same regardless of which state or country I'm shipping to, so I used the table rate to set up my calculations for those. To set up different table rates, check this post: http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=66295 HTH, Terry Terry Kluytmans Contribs Installed: Purchase Without Account (PWA); Big Images, Product Availability, Description in Product Listing, Graphical Infobox, Header Tags Controller, Login Box, Option Type Feature, plus many layout changes & other mods of my own, like: Add order total to checkout_shipment Add order total to checkout_payment Add radio buttons at checkout_shipping (for backorder options, etc.) Duplicate Table Rate Shipping Module Better Product Review Flow * If at first you don't succeed, find out if there's a prize for the loser. *
