New ZC user, just installed v151 via godaddy (automated install) and have been configuring. Bought the manual, which has been very helpful. But shipping seems to still be rather difficult to figure out. Physically located in the midwest.
My store has a limited number of products and for the last year, I have basically shipped the same 2 things. I don't see this changing much, though I might start offering parts, etc. Regardless, I have determined that there are really 2 viable shipping methods for my product:
FedEx domestically
USPS for anything outside the lower 48.
My 2 boxes are basically
#1) 16" cube that weighs about 17 lb
#2) 18" cube that weighs about 28 lb
Basically FedEx international is ridiculous because they only offer express for like $350, while USPS priority mail is more like $80.
FedEx domestic rate varies, it is much cheaper to the adjacent state than it is to the coast for the larger package. So all I want to do is get the rate estimate based on the destination and tack on a flat amount for packaging & handling.
USPS I want to get the rate (which is always based on weight) and then same as above for international shipments only (maybe domestic too)
I have looked briefly at Numinix and Ceon. Built in modules do not seem to be capable of communicating with FedEx or USPS to get rates based on lookup tables?? Seems like this should be something that is very commonly used.
Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. This is the last thing holding up my site from going live
