I have decided to charge for shipping based on total weight of the order with 3 weight tiers. Using the table weight calculations I am using:
For testing I am using:
160:.99,320:2.99,10000:5.99
So everything up to 160 oz in weight (10 lbs) costs $0.99. Anything above 160 oz and up to 320 oz (20 lbs) is $2.99 and anything above 320 oz is $5.99.
So to test this out I went and began adding items till I hit my thresholds. The shipping was $0.99 until I hit that 160 oz mark and then once I pass that 160 oz mark it changes to $2.99 as expected. But with my test item once I added enough to get to 219 oz (for example) my shipping suddenly changes to $1.98 instead of the $2.99 it's supposed to stay at until I hit the 320 oz mark.
Adding a few more of that item eventually takes me past the 320 oz mark and now m shipping has changed to $5.98 instead of $5.99.
According to my equation above my shipping from here on out should no longer change, however adding a few more items gets my weight up to 549 oz which for some reason changes my shipping price to $8.97...that's just not right.
Now yes, I am fairly new to configuring ZenCart but I thought I had all my settings properly set so that this wouldn't be happening. Can someone shed some light on my situation here?
Here's my site in case you would like to test anything further:
