National & International Ship prices per item basis

Hey there,

First off, I apologize if this has been discussed to death, or if there's a how-to somewhere I couldn't find. If there is, please point me to it, as I wasn't able to find much of anything.

Now then, I'm doing a fresh install of 1.3.8a and I got everything setup (with some major pains & headaches) but I can't get the shipping setup correctly.

It seems ZC insists that shipping rules be set globally and I want to set prices on a per item basis.

i.e. I was expecting a field for shipping price when adding a product. Sadly, it's not there.

Additionally, I actually need 2 boxes, one for National (in US) and International (not US) shipping prices.

Maybe I'm overlooking something, I set up the zones and stuff (which was also a major pain), but there's still no way I've found to set prices on a per item basis unless I have to do it by weight, which sounds incredibly inconvenient.

So yea, would love some help or pointer as I'm becoming rather frustrated with ZC.

Thanks

I have not used this module but have read good things about it

You might review it and see if it might meet your needs

Thanks for the reply,

That's quite expensive for simply 2 fields for product shipping options =\

It allows NOT a global shipping schema but what you asked for a

Per Item shipping cost

It is not only 2 fields - - but also the additional code to handle the per item which is not part of a standard ZenCart
