Hi,

I followed the instructions at:
https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=208

Plus, I set the TARE rate to 0:0 as you mentioned. I did an edit of the products, although the URL did not mention how in detail. I finally got this to work - at least with one item.

What I see during the checkout is "best way" with a highlighted radio box. I take it I can change this text to something more meaningful within a file somewhere? If so can you tell me which one?

Thanks,

Mark

You can customize the language file using your templates and overrides ...

The original is in:
/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/perweightunit.php

copy that to:
/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/your_template_dir/perweightunit.php

and change the define for:

  define('MODULE_SHIPPING_PERWEIGHTUNIT_TEXT_WAY', 'Best Way');

Thank you Ajeh, that worked a treat.

I have just set up the shop and was finding products and attributes somewhat hard to grasp at first. Trawling through this Forum I found a really good explanation from many years ago (now locked). This was yours, so I have to thank you twice.

Just to say that the perweight is now working fine - except for not adding up more than one item in the total, but I have another thread open for that problem.

Now I have been asked to set up an overseas shipping. I guess this can be done through a module but having searched through the Forum most of what I read is way over my head.

The current setup is P&P per weight where "weight" is the P&P cost within the United Kingdom. I just need to add an option to use overseas P&P rates (marked up by us on the site).

Is this a case of a module being able to spot the address is not UK and using the alternative P&P cost?

I really do need an idiot's guide on this.

Thanks in advance.
