Drop Shipping issue: I need to set up an additional charge when some products are ordered. I ship 75% of my products. 25% are drop shipped from a supplier. The supplier charges me regular shipping for their products. When a customer orders from me and the supplier I take a hit on the shipping charge.

I have shipping set up, but I am obviously taking a hit on some orders due to 2 different shipment charges. How can this be solved?


Ideal Situation:
I sell apples. Supplier sells candles.
  • Customer 1 orders 2 apples. Shipping is $3.
  • Customer 2 orders 2 apples and 5 candles. Shipping is$8 total. $3 for apples + $5 for the candles.
  • Customer 3 orders candles. Shipping is $5.


Existing situation:
  • Customer 1 orders 2 apples. Shipping is $3.
  • Customer 2 orders 2 apples and 5 candles. Shipping is$4 total. $3 for apples + $1 for the candles. (LOSS!)
  • Customer 3 orders candles. Shipping is $3. (LOSS!)
