Australia Post - weights
(Sorry originally posted in wrong thread)
Hi all,
I am having trouble with the weighing system in V1.3.9b. When estimating the postage costs at Aust Post real rates the weight says 1.591kg (which is correct for this order) but when I try different addresses in different Aust Post rates areas it seems to be weighing in at a total of 5-6kg rather than around 2kg inclusive of box and packaging.
For the life of my I cannot see why this is happening, I did change the box size in the shipping module to reflect the box we are sending.
Need to get this right as I have had to take the website offline until I can resolve it.
Any help appreciated
Martyn

I have got my tare weights at:
Package Tare Small to Medium - added percentage:weight 0:0.65 (presuming to be 0% & 294 grams)
Larger packages - added packaging percentage:weight 0:1.3 (presuming to be 0% & 589 grams)
Therefore presuming should only add 294 grams & 589 grams respectivly.
