Thanks for the info. Yes, I've thought about customizing the shipping modules -- I really want multi-vendor shipping. That is my biggest problem. But, then Zen Cart 2.0 might come out the day after I...

I use freeshipper (for a few items), Store Pickup, Table Rate (most commonly used), and UPS (which requires the weight).

No, nothing identifies the special products -- except me. There are certain...

I have a similar issue, where for the most part, I want to actually ship by weight. But, I have some lightweight products and some specialty products that I'd like to have a fixed shipping cost - say...

Getting it to go to the pdf is not a big deal. Change admin/send_pos.php (inserting the code in Red)

Around line 189:


$query=mysql_query("SELECT p.orders_products_id, p.products_model,...

The problem gets much more complex when there are multiple attributes that affect the model number -- say color and size. You have to list every option (blue, small, # 1111), etc., and then have to...

The query forgot to check status, so with it added, the correct code starting at line 40, it should read:

$new_products_query...

Well, I'll start with step 1 (pick the "best" zip code and add a flat rate for each additional vendor).

Then I'll see if I get to step two (looping through each vendor). That doesn't scare me,...

Thanks for replying Craig -- you are really helping me think this through.

My first quick fix might be to simply to select the zip code of the vendor with the most weight in packages. Once I pull...

Another limitation of my quick fix approach is that it assumes all vendors ship with the same carrier, and the same service, e.g., all ship UPS Ground. So, if one uses UPS, another the post office,...

Thanks -- it helps to see how you approached things.

The good news -- much of the multi-vendor work has already been created for Zen Cart, so no need to duplicate. That looks to be a big part of...

I too want multi-vendor shipping origins. It looks to me like this wouldn't be that hard to implement for US zip codes, but before I reinvent the wheel, I want to see if anyone else has solved this...
