Just curious... does the handling fee show a separate charge from the shipping charge during checkout so the customer can differentiate between the two?

[Ajeh]

No they are combined together ...

umm ... well ... I'd search for the word:
cost

I did as you said and broke the USPS module. The module would not appear unless I undid everything.

How should it have been written?

This breaks it:

if ($cost < 6.00) {
$methods[] = array('id' => $type,
'title' => $title,
'cost' => (6.00 + MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING) * $shipping_num_boxes);
} else {
$methods[] = array('id' => $type,
'title' => $this->types[$type],
'cost' => ($cost + MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING) * $shipping_num_boxes);
}

Probably a misplaced bracket ...

The original code reads:

          $methods[] = array('id' => $type,
                             'title' => $title,
                             'cost' => ($cost + MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING) * $shipping_num_boxes);
        }

        $this->quotes['methods'] = $methods;

The code should read when changed:

          if ($cost < 6.00) {
          $methods[] = array('id' => $type,
                             'title' => $title,
                             'cost' => (6.00 + MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING) * $shipping_num_boxes);
          } else {
          $methods[] = array('id' => $type,
                             'title' => $title,
                             'cost' => ($cost + MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING) * $shipping_num_boxes);
          }
        }

        $this->quotes['methods'] = $methods;

It's a beautiful thing!

Perhaps you'd like to create a new contribution to include all of these minimum shipping prices?

[Ajeh]

Glad you have this working now ...

Get enough examples and who needs an add-on?

Hi, im new to all this and was wondering if I could do a per item rate with a minimum shipping fee? thanks!

[Ajeh]

I want a Minimum of $9.00 shipping fee ... but just $1.50 per Item after that ...

I set the Item Rate item charges as:
Handling: 7.50
Per Item: 1.50

Now I get $9.00 plus $1.50 per additional item ...

Thanks for your new USPS update. How should this look now?
