willows Posted May 18, 2004 Posted May 18, 2004 Hi I have a product that I have a listed weight for and it is 50 grams when I go to the check out it says the weight is Zone Rates Shipping to IE : 27.5 grams ?8.60 Here is the config for the IE rates Zone 1 Countries IE Zone 1 Shipping Table 50:4.30,100:4.30,250:5.80,250:7.05,500:8.50,1000:9.95,1500:11.40 Zone 1 Handling Fee 0 I cannot see where 50 grams gets converted to 27.5 at the checkout, this baffles me. Is it a known bug? regards Sean free is often better than cheap
TerryK Posted May 19, 2004 Posted May 19, 2004 A couple of things: 1. You probably have tare weight specified as 3 (the default) in your admin-> store configuration -> Shipping & Packaging section. That would make your order total 53 grams. 2. Is your maximum package weight, by any chance, set to 50 or less? If so, the 3 extra grams are pushing it over your maximum of 50 (or less), in which case the code automatically splits the package weight between however many boxes are necessary to stay under your max weight. In this case, it would require two boxes, each at 27.5 grams, with shipping on each calculated at 4.30 for a total of 8.60. I just figured this out the other day -- hope it helps you!
