Mulitple Shipping Rates

[perkiekat]

Looks like i may need to purchase the Ceon Dev Advshipper for this type of shipping...do you know much about the mod?

It you set the shipping cost on the Item Rate ... then add the handling on the products_weight ... then customize the shipping module to add the total shipping weight as the handling fee, then this would possibly be what you are trying to accomplish ...

You say:

Items are saddle pads. Cost for 1 pad is $15.00. $7.00 more per item added to cart.

There are different handling fees for extra pads based on what size of box items are shipped in that varies from $5 to $9.

So if the Item Rate is: 7.00 and the products_weight is 8.00 you get:
Qty 1 7.00 + 8.00
Qty 2 7.00 x 2 + 8.00 x 2
Qty 3 7.00 x 3 + 8.00 x 3

Or, are you saying there is 1 handling fee despite the quantity?

There is a base rate of 15.00

Then once a customer purchases 2 pads, this is when the handling fee kicks in and the handling fee changes. Example: a 2 & 4 pad box is $5.00; a 7 pad box is $7.00; and a 10 pad box is $9.00.

I could set this up in table rate and just add the handling fee to the shipping charge. Thats how I have it now. However, looks like I would need to set this up manually to however many pads a customer would choose. That could be a lot of entires. I have it set up now with the shipping adding the handling fees up to 20 pads. Then I set it up percentage, but the percentage isn't correct.

Is there a way for Zen Cart to automatically set the shipping to what I have it set at now for however many pads a customer wants to buy? Or would I have to enter each one manually?

As there doesn't appear to be a pattern here, then no, you would have to write your own shipping module for it ...

Ajeh,

I don't know how to write a module. Do you know of anyone that could contact to build one?

You might post something in the Commercial Help Wanted forum with the specific details of what you need ...
