Two parallel flat rates?

[smokinjo]

I have two types of products:

1 - greeting cards
2 - posters

People will pay a small amount of shipping until they reach a minimum order.

In addition, while we are in Canada, the US is just south of us, and is a large potential market.

How can I make it that the US has a different rate?

I saw under shipping modules, each entry can be for a different country, and can have a different tax. I am thinking this is how I can break of the rates for each country.

Thanks

Take a look at Zone Rate shipping.

It made sense, and I rethought how I can charge for them, simplifying them.

I did not do a flat rate, but was able to lower the price of shipping the more that the customer bought, eventually reaching $0. This seperately for Canada and USA.

Thanks

Hello,

I have been rethinking the shipping rates.

I have 2 products:

greeting cards and posters.

For example,
I was a $5 flat rate for cards only.

If it is a poster or poster and cards, the flat rate will be $15.

If the purchase is more than $35 for cards, it is free shipping.

If poster or poster/card purchase above $120, then free shipping.



I'd like this logic for:

Canada
USA


The shipping page you point to works well if it is there is just genera category per country, but I have different shipping rates for the 2 categories. Greeting cards fit into a small, inexpensive to ship envelope. Posters need a larger, more expensive to ship tube.


Can I use an attribute to classify each type of product, and this can help determine the shipping to be used?

Thanks

It may be beneficial for you to check into an advanced shipper mod. Just Google advanced shipper Zen cart for a link. It is a commercial mod.

+1 on advanced shipper. Native ZC shipping is too general and has very limited usefulness. Spend a bit and get AS, it's incredibly flexible and you can set up many different methods including international shipping.
