Shipping cost per item

[jwball]

Is it possible to determine shipping costs per item?
I have two types of products which have two different delivery rates.
These rates are fixed, how would I fix the delivery costs based on prodduct?

The Shipping Module Per Unit perweightunit is based on the products_weight for each product ...

Perhaps this can work for you?

Yes possibly, I could set the weight for type 1 products to say 5kg and for type 2 products to 2kg. Even though this is not the real weight it will provide two different shipping rates in theory.

I wanted to do this same thing.. however I have three different regions (US, Canada, International) as well as if an additional product is ordered s/h for that item is less.

My client would like this {below} , however i realize this might not be possible so can someone perhaps point me in a better direction on how to handle this??

U.S.
Product Type 1 - $9.99 / additional Product Type 1 order - $3.00
Product Type 2 - $11.99 / additional Product Type 2 order - $5.00

Canada
Product Type 1 - $18.99
Product Type 2 - $21.99

International
Product Type 1 - $28.00
Product Type 2 - $45.00

any suggestions is appreciated..
thanku

I've tried the Table Rate module (is this the same as the Weight Module?) - and have found that two different products, two different weights/shipping costs, will cancel each other out at checkout. The Table Rate becomes $0.00 and there's only one to choose from. Am I working in the wrong module? I can't find the Shipping Weight Module in the downloads section (new or old). Thanks.

Fluxem,

I am trying to find the answer. I have the same issue as you. If I figure it out I will let you know.

hey Webtrix, thankyou..
I will do the same!

I have the same or at least similar problem. We do print products. Each product ie job.. has to be shipped in a separate box. If someone orders quantity 2 then we need to have that go as two separate shipments. Someone please let me know if there is a solution.

Have you more details on how your shipping works?

A box per product ... is that also the same price per box on shipping or is it a separate box per product but then the quote is UPS or USPS etc.

If per item charges ... the Per Item item shipping module is charging $X.XX regardless of weight or destination ...

I have the same problem. Each product must be shipped in a separate box. To calculate shipping, a UPS quote needs to be received for each box and then the shipping costs of all of the boxes must be totaled to get the final shipping costs for the order.

Please let me know if there is a solution.
