Two shipping by weight options

[maniacXD]

Hi,
I was wondering if someone could help me out.
I have two shipping options that I would like my clients to have. Both options use the shipping per weight. The rates are different though, because one ships faster than the other.
I was wondering how I could configure both of them separately so that clients can choose which one they want.

Thanks
Rishi.

You could duplicate the shipping module you're using and set it up with a different cost and language definitions...

Thanks for your reply. Actually I cannot use that method, let me explain why.

I have 2 shipping options

Shipping option 1: ( 10 days delivery)
Less than 50 grams = a $
Less than 100 grams = b $
Less than 150 grams = c $
And so forth

Shipping option 2 ( 5days delivery) is similar but different rate.

The way I thought of doing this right now is manually entering the shipping price as the weight (after categorizing) because per Weight unit shipping works as : Product Quantity * Units (products_weight) * Cost per Unit. I set cost per unit to 1 then get the price of shipping as per the product.
Hope am not confusing. Am I doing this the wrong way and is there an easier method?

Thanks.

Then use Table rate and duplicate Table rate. You'll get exactly what you want.

You can create a DUPLICATE of the module:

Thanks for the reply,

So I have tried to duplicate the table rates as instructed by the thread you linked. His instructions are for duplicating flat rate, so I adapted them to table rates. The thing with the table rates, there is much more text, and some things that should not be renamed. I looked at this thread
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=69665
for reference as to what should be renamed and what should not. The rates.php files for v1.5 are slightly different.

Anyways after uploading the new duplicates, I went on modules->shipping I got an error message and the rates duplicates do not show. When i delete the files it works fine. So there must be some renaming issues.

Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks
