Multiple Shipping Types

[sliver]

I have a very small catalog with only 3 items. One of them weighs 2.3 pounds and is shipped based on the USPS module. The other two fit into flat rate boxes and are shipped that way. I need a way to combine these two shipping methods so that if a user ships one of each, the USPS price for the one product is simply added to the flat rate price of the other.

I hope this is possible, or easy to hack into the code.

Thanks.

Your situation has to address a few issues ...

If you have the two products in one order ... you can fit both in the same box ... so Flat Rate ...

But, if you have 2 of one of those two products, can it still fit in the same box?

What happens when I order 3 of one of the two products and 1 of the two products?

Now there is the other product for USPS 2.3 pounds ...

Adding weight to that third Product of 2.3 will get its pricing right for USPS ...

Now you need to add in the calculated amounts for the two that can ship in the Flat Rate box(es) ...

However, if the USPS 2.3 lb product is not in the cart ... you need to not use the USPS shipping module and turn that off ...

So you need 2 seperate shipping modules to manage this ...

But, you need to define what to do based on quantities of the two Products for Flat shipping and if quantity 2 of each of the two Products can still fit in 1 box ...

If so, then you might be able to use Item Rate with a slight change to how the calculation is done on the charge ...

And then a similar calculation in USPS to add on the additional charges for the two Products to the USPS shipping quotes for the 1 USPS 2.3 Product ...

Got all that?
