Fixed price for multiple zones per item

Hello,

I have a site which I use different vendors to sell on a marketplace, along with my own products. Because they will be shipping from different locations I want to add a fixed shipping price, to each individual item, for different zones. For example:

Product A:

Everywhere Else: $14.00 ($14.00 if shipped with another item)
• Canada: $8.00 ($7.00 if shipped with another item)
• United States: $7.00 ($6.00 if shipped with another item)

I am thinking to achieve this I can assign attributes to each item with these values, and then assign the item itself as a free shipping product. This way when if it is added to the cart with a product from a different vendor the shipping costs are calculated on a per item basis. Will this work? Does anyone have any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
Cody

You could use the Item Rate shipping module and clone it for the 3 zones ...

Set the US clone as:
Handling: 1.00
Unit: 6.00

Set the Canada clone as:
Handling: 1.00
Unit: 7.00

Set the Everyone else clone as:
Handling: 0.00
Unit: 14.00

Thank you so much for the reply...

would I then be able to post per item. Each product would have different values for zones.

i.e.

Product A

• Everywhere Else: $2.50 ($1.50 if shipped with another item)
• Canada: $2.00 ($1.00 if shipped with another item)
• United States: $2.00 ($1.00 if shipped with another item)

Product B (would possibly be from a different vendor)

• Everywhere Else: $5.00 ($3.50 if shipped with another item)
• Canada: $3.00 ($1.00 if shipped with another item)
• United States: $4.00 ($1.00 if shipped with another item)

Then you would probably want to use the Per Unit perweightunit shipping module ...

If you could make your shipping proportional on the 3 Zones, then this would work for you ...

Per Unit perweightunit uses the products_weight as the shipping cost of the Product ...

So if you cloned the Per Unit perweightunit shipping module and had the products_weight set to 1.50 ...

Set the US clone to be 1.00 and get $1.50 ...

Set the Canada clone to be 2.00 and get $3.00 ...

Set the Everywhere else clone to be 2.5 and get $3.75 ...

You may need to fool with the proportions on each Zone ... but the idea is base the products_weight on the shipping cost for the US ... then add a proportional Unit charge to obtain the Canada and Everywhere else ...

This allows you to charge based on a per Product charge and still proportionally charge based on Zone ...

For the difference on charges for item 1 and item 2 ... use the Handling Charge to offset things as that is applied one time to the order in addtion to the calculated shipping charge ...

I have sone as you have said and I think this will work! I have one more question. How can I make the "per unit" in the shipping method of order processing diplay as "United States", "Canada", "Everywhere Else"?

Attached is a pic of what I am referring to.

Thanks

I cannot see anything at that link ...

But the language files are the ones associated with the clones you made ... you need to change how they read ...

You could use the Item Rate shipping module and clone it for the 3 zones ...

How can i clone it?

Do a search on:
clone item
clone flat

and there are numerous posts breaking down how to do this in some easy steps ... :smile:

And for those who need to cheat ... this add on for Items Zones Tables should help ...
