Free Shipping Question

[DarkAngel]

as I said she wants the ups price to be per item in order.

I am reading back through the thread and I do not think we are on the same page ...

Are you trying to set shipping based on:

1 a unique shipping cost per item ...

2 a shipping cost based on the number of items in the cart ...

3 charge for ranges of items in the cart ...

Hi, this is for me, so I am jumping in to say that the charge for 2nd Day air is based on #2 and #3.

My products are dropshipped, so I am going by what the wholesaler has set up. I am going to charge less than they do, but I am going to keep it within the same for the ranges. So for example their range is as follows:

1 = x
2 = x
3-4 = x
5-9 = x
10-14 = x
15-24 =x

So they are charging $11.95 for 1 item, $14.95 for 2 items, and then $19.95 for 3 to 4 items and so on.

I can charge less than those rates, because I make up the difference in the price of the item and I want to offer a really good low rate.

Now it sounds like you have unique shipping per item and each has a unique set of shipping charges based on a unique quantity break in the charges ...

More or less, none of the shipping modules in Zen Cart are really going to work for this ...

I am going to suggest you look into the CEON Advanced shipper to manage your shipping ... that is a commercial module but I cannot think of another that does more or less bizzaro shipping like what you are describing ...

You might search in google for:
ceon advanced shipper

for more information on this ...

There are a few threads about it on the forum, but again it is a commercial shipping module, but a pretty good one and is not a horrible price ...

Sorry to have taken you through the various modules in trying to find a solution but the more details given the more it has come down to you need a lot more customization than the average bear ...
