assign shipping cost per item - attributes?
Here is my dilemma......
On my site I sell my designs along with other designers' products. I am merely setting up a marketplace where designers can sell their products and I collect a commission from the sale. Since they are shipping the product directly to the customer I cant have any shipping be calculated by zone....the base zone is obviously different for each dropshipper.
Each designer has a flat rate for U.S., Canada, and Everywhere Else. I have tried three clones of the perunitweight shipping module (one for U.S., one for Canada, and one for Everywhere Else) but I have some designers who are in Canada and their shipping to Canada is less expensive than U.S., while most ship from U.S. and its the other way around. Because this, I cannot possibly have a multiplier for each clone which gets me in the ballpark for the shipping costs I need to charge. If these were suppliers than I would simply make it up elsewhere, but I am simply making a commision and cannot negotiate (both up or down) the shipping costs the designers want to charge.
The best solution would be to have an option when I add/edit a product to assign a specific dollar amount to it for U.S., Canada, and Everywhere Else. Is there is anything like this out there? Or any other suggestions from anyone which can help me out? This is my last hurdle and I would very much appreciate any advice!
Thank you all
