Split shipping on same order?

Hey my fellow zen cart users... here is my dilema;

we are using: v1.3.9d

We ship live Koi all over the country (US) we are using the Fed EX shipping module (API) to estimate and figure out the Shipping cost of the order.. all of our live fish shipp Overnight....

We also sell and ship Koi Feeds in various sizes (Weights) these food items do not need to ship Fed-Ex overnight...

We want to be able to allow the customer the oppurtunity to choose how they want the food items shipped... ups ground regular mail Fed -Ex ground...
We also want to allow the customer to submit one order and have the Zen Cart split "Live" goods from the dry goods...

For example if a customer buys fish and food during one visit he will have 2 shipping qoutes ... Fed-Ex overnight for the fish and a Ground shipping quote...

Is this possible?

Any help at all will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you very much

Not possible within Zencart. You might try Googling ceon advanced shipping .

For example if a customer buys fish and food during one visit he will have 2 shipping qoutes ... Fed-Ex overnight for the fish and a Ground shipping quote...

Yes, it is

Assuming that you have your live fish in one master category one can customize the shipping module to check for it
One of the developers. Ajeh, has posted many solutions for various conditions and the link is only one that you can see what might be needed

I could be mistaken, but I think the OP wants two shipping carriers and quotes therefrom on two different products in the same order. I still don't think that's possible.

Linked thread calls for adding multiple added fees to different classes of items
A bit of tweaking to a if/else would get different shipping quotes/methods for them

global $cart;
$chk_guns = $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','2');
$chk_rifles = $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','3');
$extra_handling_fee = ($chk_guns * 50) + ($chk_rifles * 35);

I would like to clarify, if I may....

We are a Koi Farm...

We now have the shopping cart online for use;

https://www.koisale.com/KoiStore

As you can see we see we have several catagories of Live fish, fish food and other "non-live" goods.

We use the Fed-EX shipping module. Exclusively.

We ship Live fish via Fed-ex overnight and all other products Fed-Ex Ground.

We would like to be able to split the the shipping up. I.E. if a customer buys a box of fish the shipping, depending on where they live, is calculated by the FED-EX module... Lets say the Box of fish Shipping costs $52.... now that same customer, at the same time, places a bag of food in his cart. The food does not need to ship overnight, at the premium prices, but can be shipped FED-EX ground. This bag can ship by Fed-EX ground for $5.95.

The Fed-Ex module calculates the shipping based on a fixed weight of a Live Fish shipping Box... which is 35 pounds. The Non-Live goods also are calculated by shipping weight...

We want the shopping cart to be able to know this and calculate the total shipping costs for both Live Fish and the Non-live products, if there are any in the customers cart, and show these different shipping costs on the order and invoice.

So in one scenario:

Customer buys a box of fish, Over night Shipping = $52
He also buys a bag of food, Shipping weight = 10Lbs
He also buys a tee shirt shipping weight = 1Lbs
Ground shipping of for bag of food and tee shirt is calculated by Fed-Ex at $7.95
The total Shipping for this order would be $59.95

Is this possible.... and how would we go about this modification?

Or is this way out of the scope of Zen Cart?

I would be happy to disscuss this with anyone....
Thanks/WetSteve
