Easy? Shipping question

[Angelo]

I have my store pretty much complete exept for configuring the shipping. I am pretty new to zen cart, so I would bet that my question is fairly simple, but I cannot wrap my brain around finding the solution.

I want to have shipping work like this:
product x shipping 55.00
product y shipping 60.00
product z shipping 75.00
and so on . .

Specific shipping rates for specific products. The reason for this is because that is the all information I have. I am building a cart for my dad's business selling wrestling supplies (timers, scales, throwing dummies, etc. . . .)

Hope this makes sense. I would appreciate any help. Thanks

Did you peek at the new Shipping Module in v1.3.x for the Per Unit (perweightunit) ...

Enter the shipping cost in the products_weight field and this will be used as the actual cost for the Shipping Cost for that Product ...

So, do I go to from the admin panel to the "modules" tab, then down to "Shipping" click on the "I"? Then what?

Or, do I put in the specific cost of shipping for each item in the "catalog/Products" > product creation pages (at the bottom it says "Product Shipping Weight"?

I'm sorry, I'm very new to this and have stumbled around enought to do quite a bit, but this still has me stumped. I'm still on training wheels!

Thanks.

Oh, I got it!! I just had to turn some other things off. When I installed zen cart, I had it put in the demo stuff. Thanks!

Hi Ajeh,

I wondered if you could possibly explain this to me please, I have tried to work it out, but I had set the settings in 'perweightunit' to the following.

but when I did a test on the site, and say purchased 3 items, when I click on estimate shipping instead of being £3.00 (£1.00 each) it is just £1.00, so it didnt work anyway..lol.

I decided that it seemed too much to charge for the shipping that way anyway, and wanted to do it this other way if its easy to explain to a newbie

I wanted it so that if someone bought 1 keyring the shipping would be
1 Item - £0.70
2 Items - £1.10
3 Items - £1.50
4 Items - £1.90
5 Items - £2.30
6 Items - £2.70
7 Items - £3.10
8 Items - £3.50
9 Items - £3.90
10 Items - £4.30

so it works out at an extra £0.40 per item

So the shipping gets slightly cheaper the more items you buy, so that instead of charging £10.00 for 10 keyrings the shipping would be £4.30.

I hope I can get the shipping sorted out, as I am stuck on quite a few other things aswell

I am understanding a lot more than I did this time last week so thats a plus point , these forums have been a 'god send' As soon as I have an income coming in, I will definatly be giving a 'well deserved' donation to zencart.

Thanks again
Kindest Regards
Nikki
