I am not sure if I am not following what you are trying to do here or you have an incorrect setting on the Per Unit perweightunit shipping module ... what is your setting for:

Quote:

---

Shipping Cost per Unit
NOTE: When using this Shipping Module be sure to check the Tare settings in the Shipping/Packaging and set the Largest Weight high enough to handle the price, such as 5000.00 and the adjust the settings on Small and Large packages which will add to the price as well.

The shipping cost will be used to determine shipping charges based on: Product Quantity * Units (products_weight) * Cost per Unit - in an order that uses this shipping method.

---

The default is 1 for (1 * total weight) + handling fee = shipping cost

Sorry for all this trouble.
I have one category which I have put into effect free shipping options. In which I am selling 6 pair of earring for $5.28 in which I have set up the free shipping option for, at least it seems I have?
Do you only use one shipping module for the entire cart?
If not then I used the per unit for the rest of the cart, but I am not getting the shipping equation for this I think.
I have an item which weighs say 7 grams or 0.25 of and ounce so how would I get the per unit to handle this?

Then to add this to the equation a customer buys the free shipping option and now buys an item which is not free shipping, is the not free shipping pulling from per unit calculation or free shipping options.
Thank you
Ron

The way the Per Unit preweightunit shipping module is designed is to work based on the Total Weight in the Cart then multiply that by the charge on the Per Unit perweightunit shipping module ...

If you set the unit charge to 1, then what happens is the weight of the Products are multiplied by $1.00, so if you have Product Weight:
1 * 0.00 = $0.00
1 * .25 = $0.25
1 * .50 = $0.50
1 * 17.25 = $17.25

If you set the unit charge to 2, then what happens is the weight of the Products are multiplied by $2.00, so if you have Product Weight:
2 * 0.00 = $0.00
2 *.25 = $0.50
2 *.50 = $1.00
2 * 17.25 = $34.50

The thing to be careful of is when using the Per Unit perweightunit shipping module, in the Configuration ... Shipping/Packaging ... you should set the two Tare Rates to 0:0 and the Maximum Weight to 5000 or higher ...

Hello,
I just tried this and I am still getting just the handling charge of 1.95 no shipping cost in per weight unit shipping module.

do I add the formula 1*.50 in the product add weight box?

I don't see a way to add this into the shipping module itself.

Maybe there is something wrong with my cart?

If I can't get this to work I guess I will try a flat rate shipping charge but the weight vary greatly and this could be a loser if they order to many items.

I don't understand why this is so difficult for me to get.
Sorry
Ron

No on the Per Unit perweightunit just set the value to multiply the weight by, so if you want to multiply the weight by 1 set it to 1 or 1.00 ... if you want to multiply the weight by 2 set it to 2 or 2.00 ...

If you set it to 1 and and the weight in the cart is 3.75, then the shipping cost will be:
1 x 3.75 = $3.75

If you set it to 2 and the weight in the cart is 3.75, then the shipping cost will be:
2 x 3.75 = $7.50

WOW that worked I had the wrong thing in that box:)

However, now the free shipping show up with the ship by unit when checking out, So naturally a customer is goning to choose the fee shipping option.

I thought that if I set the free shipping opton for these 6 pair of earrings that the rest would be charge for shipping in cart, is the free shipping over riding all.
here is my set on free shipping this is for 6 pair of earrings with price totaling 5.28.

These are OR settings and may not be doing what you think they are ... for example I do not understand your Weight settings and I am not sure of the other setting values either for what you are trying to do ...

Have you a link to your site that we could peek at and the products_id for some of these Products?

Hi,

this is a link to the earring category
http://www.stuffwholesale.com/index....ath=25_21_32_6
so if you buy 6 you would get free shipping, but if buy 5 or less you would not get any free shipping.
So I was thinking that the buy putting in the total price of $5.28 that this would not five free shipping for under that price or over that price?
And you would need 6 items plus the price to get free ship.
My problem is I just can not ship one at free ship I need to have the customer purchase a minimum of 6 for this to work.
Thanks
Ron
