Please forgive me if this has already been covered in this thread. I didn't have time to do more than a quick scan of all the posts.

Would there be some way to use the product types to deal with shipping from multiple vendors? Could each vendors products be based on a different product type, and these product types have the specific shipping info?

I am asking from complete ignorance here. I need this type of functionality in my cart also. My first step was to look for some type of drop-ship module or multiple vendor module. Since this doesn't seem to exist (yet) my first inclination was to use the product types. Unfortunately, I haven't found a good tutorial on setting up or using product types. My time is very limited for the "playing with zen" that is usually required by me for setting up new features (as well as my trepidation of experimenting on my live site!).

Thanks!
