Re: maximum shipping weight
You do not need to double post, just the one is enough ...
The Maximum weight setting is to break down the Maximum weight per box ...
Wh ydo you need to have a Maximum weight per order of 8lbs?
What shipping method(s) are you using?
Re: maximum shipping weight
I am shipping from Italy to usa. Anything under 5 kilos is a flat 128 Euro. I dont want to ship anything over the 128Euro figure. So I just want to charge a flat rate for shipping and stop the order at 4 kilos. follow?
Re: maximum shipping weight
What is the difference between limiting an ordr to 8lbs and me making 2 orders of 8lbs?
Re: maximum shipping weight
nothng. that would be great. they can make as many orders of 8 pounds as they want to. I just dont have a shipping module for italy to usa. Flat works for me and I believe in the KISS principle. I dont want to see an order of 8 pounds and an order for 1 pound and shipping 127 euro times 2.
Re: maximum shipping weight
Can't you just setup Zone Rate or Table Rate to charge for every 8lbs for the US?
Re: maximum shipping weight
I also failed to mention that what I am shipping is somewhat fragile. And I dont want to put all of my eggs in one basket so to speak. I am limiting my liability by keeping the package size smaller and smaller boxes tend to be stronger for reasons defined by the laws of physics.
Re: maximum shipping weight
Giving them the option to spill over 6 ounces into a second order is asking for trouble.
Re: maximum shipping weight
You could edit the flat.php shipping module and add the code:
Code:
// class methods
function quote($method = '') {
global $order;
global $shipping_weight;
global $messageStack;
if ($shipping_weight > 8) {
$messageStack->add_session('shopping_cart', 'Orders must be 8lbs or less', 'warning');
zen_redirect(zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART));
}
$this->quotes = array('id' => $this->code,
Re: maximum shipping weight
Also you should set the Maximum weight back to 50, so that it does not split the weight into boxes ...
