Shopping cart shows shipping weight as 0 lbs ??

Hi,
I am having a little trouble with my heavy items...
On the listing page my item displays the right shipping weight of 140lbs but when I add the item to the shopping cart it displays as 0lbs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. :hug:

Thanks,
belaze

If you have a Heavy Item of 140 lbs ... but mark it as Always Free Shipping ... then the Weight of the Order is 0 as the Always Free Shipping has adjusted the weight ...

If you still need it this way, you can use the Configuration ... Layout Settings ...

Shopping Cart - Show Totals
Show Totals Above Shopping Cart?
0= off
1= on: Items Weight Amount
2= on: Items Weight Amount, but no weight when 0
3= on: Items Amount

Is there any way to configure the Always Free Shipper to display the weight once the item in on the shopping cart?

My scenario:
For my domestic customers it works great because free shipping is always on.

for my international customers there is no way for them to check out... I have tried zone shipping but since the weight changes to 0lbs it does not display the shipping charges as I want it to.

Thanks much,

Always Free Shipping is for Free Shipping for "everyone" ...

It does not work for "some" addresses ...

You would have to do quite a bit of customization to change how that works if you don't want Always Free Shipping to be Always Free Shipping ...

Am confused because currently I have Always Free Shipping set to continental US States only that I defined under:
Location/taxes= Zones Definitions.

Under Always Free Shipper:
Shipping Zone
If a zone is selected, only enable this shipping method for that zone.
"Continental US"

thanks,

Zones were built into the Free Shipping freeshipper shipping module for convention standards in the code for advance coders ...

The Zone do NOT work in the way that you are intending as 0 weight or Always Free shipping means only Free Shipping freeshipper shows and the other shipping modules are disabled ...

You would have to do quite a bit of customization to change the functionality of Always Free Shipping and having weight on a Product to behave in a different manner ...
