    Check your Configuration ... Shipping/Packaging ... and see if you have a Tare weight set, should be 0:0 and check if you have set the Maximum Weight higher, such as 5000 ...

    This makes it work better with the Per Unit perweightunit shipping module ...

    Hey, thank you VERY much, this has done the trick nicely :)

    Now, any ideas at all how to make it discount for additional items in the order? Probably keep the most expensive shipped item at the normal price, but then 1/2 each additional item's shipping cost? or any form or reducing the shipping when items are ordered together?


    Thanks

    The Per Unit perweightunit is based on total weight of the order multipled by the Unit Rate ...

    This is not looking at each Product products_weight individually but rather as the whole amount ...

    If you want to have a First item of a Product charge and then a new charge per Additional item of a Product, then you will need to customize a totally new module to manage this ...

    I was afraid you were going to say that :)

    This must have already been done numerous times, does anyone know if a module that does this rather than re-inventing the wheel so to speak.
