Drop Ship and regualr ship into one setup?

[frank18]

I cannot think of a way to split the shipping charges between the JAMES products and the normal Products to distinguish this for you when using USPS for both ...

Yep - difficult one indeed. I think the OP needs to incorporate the shipping for the JAMES products into the cost of the JAMES products if there is a mixed cart and make customers aware of this condition.

Or: do not allow a mixed cart ???

I have several clients that have exactly this situation. I use the CEON Advanced Shipper module to do this. For the products from James you would set up a shipping method with a ship from zip code from James' location. All other products would have a zip set to your location. When the customer checks out with only James' products the shipping is calculated using that shipping method only. If only your products are ordered the same thing happens with that shipping method. If the cart contents are mixed, the shipping charges are both methods combined.

Ah, nice. I will test this out later this week.

Much appreciated for all the input from everyone on this thread!
