auspost module calculating incorrectly

[Prime]

Additionally, could you please recommend a method or module that would allow me to set flat shipping rates for a specific item based on quantity? Is this possible?

As I always say, when it comes to zen-cart anything is possible.

Alas, what you are asking for will require some custom coding, that probably isn't going to be as easy as it first appears. For example, suppose it isn't difficult to add or create the code for the specific item that you have in mind, what is going to happen if someone orders that specific item along with another totally different item? Should the two calculations be added? Should the other item simply be ignored?

It really does raise some complex issues that need to be considered (and answered) before any such customisation even begins, and this doesn't include figuring out ways to actually make and store the settings you require... another data field added to the products database perhaps?

In short, what you are asking *could* be done, but it is probably going to be costly and impractical to do so.
