Hello,
I looked through eStart book, FAQ's and some of the posts here but I have not found anything on:
How to configure shipping for different delivery methods bearing in mind that there are multiple zones. For example, my supplier dropshipper charges different rates for US, Canada, and territories but they also provide expedited shipping services for overnight, 2-day, or 3-day in addition to ground. I tried playing with weights attributes to fool ZC and adding the extra cost but these created other issues, e.g. total weight is not distinquishable from fake ones, taxes get messed up. Could using two Zones work for same countries but use one for expedited shipping and the other for standard ground?
Of course, Alaska and Hawaii and territories do not use ground.
Has this already been addressed somewhere or does anyone have any suggestions? I know the easiet way is probably to use Authorized.net and charge shipping afterwards but I am working on a shoestring budget and want to avoid the extra cost assoicated with it plus the cost to get SSL certificate etc. I use PayPal right now. I am using ZC v1.3.8a.
Thanks in advance for any replies, suggestions, and comments.
