Shipping Module Programming Question about weight and free shipping

[Ajeh]

Actually that bug was not there ...

What version Zen Cart are you using?

What Specific Products are you testing and how is the weight configured on them for the Product and the Attributes?

More or less can you give me a click for click to reproduce this problem?

ZC v1.3.9h

From the home page click Airbrush Tattoo Ink, Body Paint & Supplies, click Quick Dry Alcohol Based Ink, click Standard Colors, click White Quick Dry, click radio for 8oz. and Add To Cart, click Estimate Shipping, select United States, South Carolina, 29687, click Update. At this point, everything is good.

Go back to the home page. From the home page click Airbrush Tattoo Ink, Body Paint & Supplies, click Stencils, Click Stencils Only, add 1 under Holiday1 and press return to add to cart. Click Estimate Shipping. Notice that the Weight is 0.08lbs. The weight of the stencil, however the First Class Mail Option is no longer displayed. Increase White Quick Dry Quantity to 10 and update cart. Click Estimate Shipping. Notice that all of the shipping charges are increased by adding additional quantities of a Free Shipping item.

The weight for the White Quick Dry Ink is set via the attribute. The weight of the stencil is set in the catalog configuration page.

Is this what you are asking for ?

If you add more than the 13oz for First Class it will go away ...

As you increase quantity, unless the increase of quanty * the weight actually charges more for shipping then the shipping can be the same for multiple quantities or multiple Products ...

Are you sure the problem isn't just the weight of the shopping cart not raising to the next level for a charge or rising too high for First class?

If adding non-Free Ship items, yes, the First Class option will go away above 13oz. As long as you are only adding Free Ship items, the First Class option remains as a selection. If the cart is full of Free Ship items the First Class option is available but as soon as you add, even a 0.08lbs non-Free Ship item, the First Class option is gone and the shipping charge reflect the weight of the entire cart.

What do you think 0.08lbs is? If you want 8ounces, that is 0.5lbs ... weight is entered in pounds ...

NOTE: 1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds

Keep in mind All of the Products have weight ... it is hard to see the weight based on how you have things setup since the Weight showing in the Shopping Cart is not adjusted to show the true weight with the free_shipping_weight added in ...

Everything works great except for whenever a non-Free Shipping item is added to the cart that has Free Shipping items already added, the shipping charge is then reflective of the entire cart weight. Is there a way to make the cart only charge shipping for the non Free Shipping items while not charging shipping for the Free Shipping items when combined in the cart. I was using the stencils as a test since they only weigh about an ounce and should have little impact on the cost to ship.

I thought your goal was to have Free Shipping Options and the Normal shipping rates using the total weights on UPS and USPS ...

Perhaps we are not speaking the same here ...

Do you want the UPS and USPS to be the "normal shipping" rates for the all of the Products?

EXAMPLE:
When the Cart ONLY holds Always Free Shipping US Products ... should the US see UPS and USPS?

If yes, then what are the weights based on?

Right now, it is showing Free Shipping Options ONLY when the Cart is the US and all Products are Always Free Shipping and showing the Total charge for UPS and USPS based on the Weight of those Products ...
