    Default Using weight for shipping amounts - calculates wrong shipping when out of stock

    Hi,

    Using ZC 1.3.8a

    I am using values in the weight field as specific shipping costs, as described in the FAQ/Tutorial

    The problem is whe you order an amount that is more than is in stock, the shipping total STILL USES the total number of items ordered to calculate the shipping total.

    For example - item ABC, $20 shipping fee per item. With 2 in stock, if an order is placed for 4 - it shows that 2 are available and 2 are backordered - but the shipping still shows as $80 even though the order will only contain 2 items, not 4.

    Any advice about this please would be appreciated - thanks!

    in answer to my own question:

    I see that it shows that out of stock items are back-ordered automatically - so I suppose it makes some sense doing it the way it does....but it does seem a little "shopper unfriendly"

    Anyway, no worries I guess - thanks
