Minimum shipping fee

*** duplicate post deleted *** Please do not post in more than one thread.

Just curious... does the handling fee show a separate charge from the shipping charge during checkout so the customer can differentiate between the two?

No they are combined together ...

Ajeh:

umm ... well ... I'd search for the word:
cost

I did as you said and broke the USPS module. The module would not appear unless I undid everything.

How should it have been written?

This breaks it::unsure:

if ($cost < 6.00) {
$methods[] = array('id' => $type,
'title' => $title,
'cost' => (6.00 + MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING) * $shipping_num_boxes);
} else {
$methods[] = array('id' => $type,
'title' => $this->types[$type],
'cost' => ($cost + MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING) * $shipping_num_boxes);
}

Probably a misplaced bracket ...

The original code reads:

          $methods[] = array('id' => $type,
                             'title' => $title,
                             'cost' => ($cost + MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING) * $shipping_num_boxes);
        }

        $this->quotes['methods'] = $methods;

The code should read when changed:

          if ($cost < 6.00) {
          $methods[] = array('id' => $type,
                             'title' => $title,
                             'cost' => (6.00 + MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING) * $shipping_num_boxes);
          } else {
          $methods[] = array('id' => $type,
                             'title' => $title,
                             'cost' => ($cost + MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING) * $shipping_num_boxes);
          }
        }

        $this->quotes['methods'] = $methods;

It's a beautiful thing!:clap:

Perhaps you'd like to create a new contribution to include all of these minimum shipping prices?

Glad you have this working now ... :smile:

Get enough examples and who needs an add-on? :cool:

Hi, im new to all this and was wondering if I could do a per item rate with a minimum shipping fee? thanks!

I want a Minimum of $9.00 shipping fee ... but just $1.50 per Item after that ...

I set the Item Rate item charges as:
Handling: 7.50
Per Item: 1.50

Now I get $9.00 plus $1.50 per additional item ... :smile:

Thanks for your new USPS update. How should this look now?:D

I do no t believe you'd need to make any changes to that since it is run off the $cost ...

Be sure to test it out ... :smile:

The cost did not work. I uploaded the new USPS.php and then went in and made the change. Was there something else?

Could you post the code from lines 218, start of the FOR loop to the end of the FOR loop in there?

Anything for you.:wink:

218 is a blank line, just for the record.

    $methods = array();
    $size = sizeof($uspsQuote);
    for ($i=0; $i<$size; $i++) {
      list($type, $cost) = each($uspsQuote[$i]);

      // BOF: UPS USPS
      $title = ((isset($this->types[$type])) ? $this->types[$type] : $type);
      if(in_array('Display transit time', explode(', ', MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_OPTIONS)))    $title .= $transittime[$type];
      /*
      $methods[] = array('id' => $type,
      'title' => ((isset($this->types[$type])) ? $this->types[$type] : $type),
      'cost' => ($cost + MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING) * $shipping_num_boxes);
      */
      $cost = preg_replace('/[^0-9.]/', '',  $cost);
      $methods[] = array('id' => $type,
                         'title' => $title,
                         'cost' => ($cost * $shipping_num_boxes) + (MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING_METHOD == 'Box' ? MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING * $shipping_num_boxes : MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING) );

    }

FYI- Priority Shipping went up $0.50 online. At east there is a slight discount for using Priority Flat rate envelopes.

That was dumb.

This is everything:

    $methods = array();
    $size = sizeof($uspsQuote);
    for ($i=0; $i<$size; $i++) {
      list($type, $cost) = each($uspsQuote[$i]);

      // BOF: UPS USPS
      $title = ((isset($this->types[$type])) ? $this->types[$type] : $type);
      if(in_array('Display transit time', explode(', ', MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_OPTIONS)))    $title .= $transittime[$type];

/*
$methods[] = array('id' => $type,
'title' => ((isset($this->types[$type])) ? $this->types[$type] : $type),
'cost' => ($cost + MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING) * $shipping_num_boxes);
/
/ $cost = preg_replace('/[^0-9.]/', '', $cost);
$methods[] = array('id' => $type,
'title' => $title,
'cost' => ($cost * $shipping_num_boxes) + (MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING_METHOD == 'Box' ? MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING * $shipping_num_boxes : MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING) );

    }

    $this->quotes['methods'] = $methods;

*/
// BOF: USPS Minimum Shipping

           if ($cost < 6.00) {
      $methods[] = array('id' => $type,
                         'title' => $title,
                         'cost' => (6.00 + MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING) * $shipping_num_boxes);
      } else {
      $methods[] = array('id' => $type,
                         'title' => $title,
                         'cost' => ($cost + MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING) * $shipping_num_boxes);
      }
    }

    $this->quotes['methods'] = $methods;

// EOF: USPS Minimum Shipping

Works Today!

You code works great but you appear to have commented out this line:

$cost = preg_replace('/[^0-9.]/', '', $cost);

Yeah that line of code could be useful :blush:

I inserted it right below where I added the tag BOF Minimum Shipping

Glad to hear that this still works for you ... :smile:

Good place to put the code so you don't exclude it in the future ... :cool:

How can I make a minimum shipping fee of 9.50 across the board? We're using the UPS shipping module.

Adapt the USPS code above for UPS and use 9.50 instead of 6.00 ...

The UPS shipping module is at:
