Shipping cost for downloadable and not downloadable products

In my store there are products that may be downloaded or shipped, and I use the Zone Rates for definig the shipping cost.
If I buy one or more "downoladable" products, there are no shippng cost (that's o.k.).

But if I add to the basket one "not downloadable" product, the shipping cost is not related to the weight of the only one "not downloadable" product, but to the weight of all the product that are in the basket.

How can avoid this? Thanks to all....

What is the weight of your downloadable products?

Re: Shipping cost for downloadable and not downloadable products

If this is either a download or physical you need to add the negative weight to the download so the weight is 0 when it is a download ...

I'm very sorry, but I haven't understood, Ajeh .

Re: Shipping cost for downloadable and not downloadable products

On the same screen where you configure the downloadable file attributes, you can add price adjustments and weight adjustments for each attribute you're adding. This is where you'd add a negative weight to offset the shippable-version weight.

O.K. - Many thenks to DrByte & Ajeh.
But now arise another problem: I don't want that in the attribute select is shown the weight.
I'll study the problem, but if there is an obvious solution..... please tell me!!!

Re: Shipping cost for downloadable and not downloadable products

If you peek in the Product Type settings ...

Catalog ... Product Type ... Edit Layout ...

There is a handy dandy switch to turn off the Attribute Weight on a per Product Type basis ...

Show Attribute Weight
Display Attribute Weight on Product Info 0= off 1= on
