Shipping not calculating properly

We are using Zen Cart 1.38a, with Local Sales Tax, Image Handler2, Integrated COWA and CSS Click Show and Hide Mods.

We set up shipping as follows
perweightunit is the only shipping enabled, we have the shipping cost for each unit set in the "weight" settings of the product.

Small tare and large packages are set to 0:0

Yet on larger orders the shipping seems to calculate to a smaller amount than it should. It even calculates to a smaller amount than the Maximum shipping weight per package.

I have since changed the Maximum Package Weight you will ship to 5000.

Will this fix it?

Re: Shipping not calculating properly

To use the Per Unit Rate perweightunit shipping module, you should always set:

Small Tare 0:0
Large Tare 0:0
Maximum Weight: 5000 (more if your shipping is higher than $5000)

This will permit the shipping charges to use the Weight of the Product and Attributes for determining the the right amount ... :smile:
