    help question Can Per Item shipping be in addition to USPS shipping?

    We have the USPS and UPS mods installed. We'd like to add an additional $0.25 charge PER ITEM (pick charge). If we installed and activated Per Item mod, would that override the USPS and UPS mods or would it simply add the additional $0.25 to every item and still include the other shipping fee?

    Thanks,
    Andy

    It would be in addition to the USPS and UPS mods; if a customer chose that option, they'd only be charged $0.25 for the shipping if they have 1 item in their cart.

    Thanks for your replay Lat9!

    OK I see, so when it's activated it becomes an option for the customer. Is there a way to make the 25 Cent additional charge per item automatic on all orders?

    So when a customer is checking out, with 2 items for example, and I'll call this 25 cent thing a "Pick Fee", they'll see

    Subtotal: XX
    Tax: XX
    Pick Free: $0.50
    Shipping (usps): XX
    TOTAL: XX

    Is that doable somehow?

    I'm thinking I would just increase the price of each item $.25. Customers (like me, anyway) don't like to see nickel-and-dime fees added to the order. Reminds us of the telephone companies.

    I totally agree with you Steve. It's a bit silly. But the boss wants what the boss wants.

    Assuming every product in every order will incur the fee, you might be able to do something with this:

    I haven't used it, and don't know if it will work with 1.5.0.

    You can also search the Plugins for handling.

    Thanks Steve! That just might fit the bill!
