    Default calculate cost depending on number of items

    Hey guys,

    Totally new to this. Never used Zencart before. I've got my products / site done. Just the shipping.

    I'd like the following:

    Zone1 (UK)
    1 item = £5.99
    Each item after that £2.50

    Zone2 (EU)
    1 Item = £9.99
    Each item after that £5.50

    Zone3 (USA)
    1 Item = £14.99
    Each item after £7.50

    -----------------

    Currently, I can't see any way to do this. Are there any modules out there that will allow this?
    If not, is there away around this to "sort of" achieve this?

    Well I sussed it, but only after 4 hours! No modules needed, no coding hacks. Very simple really... but - documentation = didn't exist! Something to think about for the future..

    You want to charge per Item but what Zone Rate zones is setup for is a flat rate based on the settings ...

    It would be easier to clone the Item Rate shipping module and add a Zone Definition to each one where you have Defined the Zones for each one ...

    Then set, for example, the Item Rate for the UK Zone to be:
    Item Rate: 2.50
    Handling: 2.49

    Then set, for example, the Item Rate for the EU Zone to be:
    Item Rate: 5.50
    Handling: 4.49
