different delivery time how?

[rutra]

I got a lot of products in my store which can be shipped in 24 hours, but some other products needs 3-5 days for delivery.
Can i somehow add this information to my product page?

You could put it in the product description.

What if a customer buys several products, a few are 24-hour delivery, others are 3-5 day delivery...

How will you handle this?

afo - i just to it this way but was thinking there is an easier solution, for example a group of product counts 300 models and delivery time has changed, just my suplier delivers faster - in this case i have to change everything manually.

schoolboy - it happen from time to time, but customer will know what to expect. He can choose and decide.

At the "practical" level this is not so much an issue...

I am referring rather to HOW zencart will calculate appropriate shipping.

You see... if you make shipping options PRODUCT SPECIFIC, zencart will apply whatever cost is applicable to that PRODUCT.

So.. it may be that the customer is agreeable to having 3-5 day delivery - even if a couple of products are 24-hour delivery, but ZC will have calculated the 24-hour delivery cost and applied it to the total amount due - simply because it has been PROGRAMMED to do this.

What happens then, is the customer is CHARGED for 24-hour delivery on those PRODUCTS to which that shipping fee has been programmed, even if the customer is OK with 3-5 day delivery.

Zencart has no way of knowing how the customer "feels" about having everything delivered at a slower pace... it just knows that when it sees a product that requires the 24-hour charge, it will dutifully apply the charge, and add it to the total.

You make a good point, schoolboy, but I don't think the shipping fees are the issue. I got the impression that rutra wants to make it clear to the buyer that some items can ship immediately and others will take longer, so it's more a matter of availability (for want of a better word) than of shipping fees.
