Table Rate 'Weights' not adding up correctly

hi,

I am using Table Rate for my postage calculator and seem to be having a bit of trouble.

I am using the following for my calculations:

100:2.00,1000:4.50,10000:9.00
100gms = $2.00, 1000gms = $4.50 etc

When i add 6 products that weight 10gms each, it calculates it at the 1000gms = $4.50 rate when it should be 100gms = $2.00 rate because it's only 60gms total.

I have double and triple checked the 'product listing' weight is set to 0 and the attributions weights are correct (as the weight & postage cost goes off attributes)

I have turned on my 'show weights' in the admin>product types>Product - General>edit layout and i can see the all the attributes are correctly weighted and the main product is set at 0gms.

Any one have any ideas.. i feel like I'm going to do this :frusty:

Cheers,
Grant.

ok.. i think i've fixed it (abit dodgey i think). i had to add 40gms to each maximum amount as you can see below, to get it to work out right.

140:2.00,1040:4.50,10000:9.00

Dunno where this extra 40gms is coming from as 10 x 10gms = 100gms, but it seems to exqualling 140gms !!

Well i got it working correct, but if anyone knows of the problem, please let me know so i can have it correctted the right way.

Cheers,
Grant.

You may have TARE settings in your shipping/packaging configs.

Look under: ADMIN >>> CONFIGURATION >>> SHIPPING/PACKAGING and see what the TARE settings are.
*
(TARE settings add "more weight" to a consignment, using the logic that in addition to a PRODUCT's weight, the packaging will also weigh something. As shippers charge for the TOTAL weight - items plus the box they ship in - zencart offers you a system to increment the weight to account for this difference.)*
