perweightunit incorrect calculation

[slegendre]

I installed the Per Unit perweightunit module so I could set the shipping cost for each of my items. I found a few posts on how to do this, but seem to run into a dead end. The shipping fee that is calculated is incorrect.

For example:
I have product A with a price of 16.95 and set its shipping weight to 9.95. I have the Shipping Cost per Unit set to 1 within the Per Unit perweightunit module settings. When I calculate the shipping it displays 12.95. Not sure how its getting this number. It should be the 9.95 (which is the shipping weight for Product A)

Any ideas on what i'm missing?

You did not provide a link nor an explanation of what value is being returned???

Just that is is incorrect - - too high? - - too low - - way off?? or what

Opps!! did you add that??

Check admin > config > shipping > tare??? for a $3.00 fee

Yeah, i just figured it out while posting that thread. I tried to edit, but guess it captured it and posted. That was the solution, i had to remove the:

• Package Tare Small to Medium - added percentage:weight
• Larger packages - added packaging percentage:weight

Thanks!

Check that when using the Per Unit perweightunit shipping module that you have set the Maximum Weight to 5000 and the Tare Rates to 0:0 or you will get bad calculations on it ...

This module gives wrong results if the sending is fractionned in many packages. It multiplies the weight of a SINGLE package ($ shipping_weight) by the unit cost. Hence the recommendation to put the Maximum Weight at a high value to avoid splitting.

It would be sufficient in the module to multiply by the number of packages to be correct ! (Think its a small bug).
