How to use Different Shipping method to Different catalog?

[snowdance125]

Hi, I have a question and can not to find the answer.

I have Three categories of which i need to assign different shipping methods for each.
Product A can be shipped with any shipping method to anywhere.
Product B ONLY can be shipped with UPS to US.
Product C ONLY can be shipped with UPS and USPS to US.

How can I do?

Thanks!

How can I do?

What will happen if a customer buys a product B and a product C??

The only shipping rule for categories I am familiar with is: Per Category Shipping Rate, which only let you assign flat rate shipping for each category.

It calculates the shipping based on the items in the shopping cart, total shipping is based on each product/category.


The down side is; that module is a commercial module that cost $30.

What will happen if a customer buys a product B and a product C??

if a customer buys B and C, the step 1 of 3 will remind that "Not Available At This Time".

So a customer can not buy items that you have??

@kobra - the situation is not unusual...for example we have clients with gardening stores that are not allowed to export certain items outside UK (can't remember but I think its things like liquid fertilisers).

@snowdance125 - what you need is the Advanced Shipper module from ceon.net ... yes, it's a commercial add-on, but you should be able to be set up as you wish well within an hour (and most of that will be spent reading the very detailed documentation that is supplied with the mod!)

And you probably need to adjust your shipping messages to explain WHY the customer can't have certain items, so rather than "Not Available At This Time" something like "Sorry, we are unable to ship X to this shipping destination".

Oh, I see.
