Per unit shipping

[achitophel]

Hi,

I am trying to get the Per Unit shipping module working with products with price by attribute.

I have products in fixed quantities with fixed shipping rates, i have the quantities as an attribute and the product is priced by attributes.

Product 1: Attribute Quantity 10 (actual quantity 1), Price 22.50, Shipping Cost 2.95

I have the Per Unit shipping module variables set as:

Enable Per Weight Unit Shipping: True
Shipping Cost per Unit: 1
Handling Fee:0
Tax Class:none
Tax Basis:Shipping
Shipping Zone:UK

The formula is meant to be :
Product Quantity * Units (products_weight) * Cost per Unit
Which should translate to this right ?
1 * 2.95 * 1 = 2.95
But when i make a dummy purchase the shipping price comes up as 5.95

Why is it not working for me ?

Thanks in advance,

Jason

Per Unit perweightunit is utilizing the Weight of the Product, which is the Product Weight and associated Attribute Weight ...

As such, you need to configure the Shipping/Packaging to:
NOT add weight to the Order as it is adding $$$

Package Tare Small to Medium - added percentage:weight
What is the weight of typical packaging of small to medium packages?
Example: 10% + 1lb 10:1
10% + 0lbs 10:0
0% + 5lbs 0:5
0% + 0lbs 0:0

setting to 0:0 will correct that ...

NOT to be limited to Maximum 50, as again this is now using the Weight as Money ...

Enter the Maximum Package Weight you will ship
Carriers have a max weight limit for a single package. This is a common one for all.

Set to a high enough amount to manage your shipping ... 5000 is overkill but does work well and stands out should you later change your Shipping methods ...
