Different Shipping options for different products

[onesimpleman]

Hi all,
I am new to zen cart, I am trying to move my shop from OSc to Zen Cart. I have come across a problem ...a last hurdle!!

We have 2 ware houses . Let us call it A and B.

A is in Uk and B is China.

Warehouse A has sports goods and ware house B has Electronic Goods.

Shipping is calculated by weight. Since the warehouses are miles apart, it is calculated differently. Is there any modules or contributions available which can achieve this.

When I add a new item, I should be able to specify which warehouse the item is located.
When the customer chooses a product the shipping is calculated depending upon the warehouse the item is in.

If the customer buys some items from warehouse A and some other items from warehouse B , it should be able to calculate shipping.

If a module is not available , can any one point towards modules which can do some of these jobs , so that we can modify it to our requirement.

Thank you all in advance

I am not aware of anything for this ...

However, consider this ...

1 Is the Parent Category the same for All Products for the Sporting Goods?

2 Is the Parent Category the same for All Products for the Electronics?

3 What Shipping Module(s) do you use?

Thank you for your fast reply Ajeh

Yes the parent category are same for electronics and clothing or We can put them in the same parent category if it helps.

The shipping module is zone rate because we ship world wide.

Is it possible to have one set of zone rates for Sports and another set for the electronics.

If that is possible We do not need to specify warehouse location when we are listing products.
