Shipping table not adding additional items shipping costs

Okay I set my shipping table up but it only works properly when checking out with 1 item. Whether I purchase 2 of the same item or 2 differnt items it does not combine the weights of the items. It just charges the first items weight charge according to the table.

I am thinking this is a very easy fix but I have been unable to find it.

Thanks in Advance, Jack

What are the settings on the Table Shipping Module?

Do you have an URL to the Product that you are testing this for?

Is the Tare weight causing issues that is set on the Configuration ... Shipping/Packaging?

Here are my table settings

1:.95,2:1.95,3:2.95,4:3.95,5:4.95,6:5.95,7:6.95...

Now if you purchase an item 3 items with a weight of 5 which is $4.95 each during checkout you only get charged $4.95 instead of $24.75. Same goes if you check out with 2 different items, the shipping charge is based on the first item and not their combined weight values.

Here are my settings:

Table Rate: Yes

Table Method: Weight

Handling Fee: 0

Tax Class: None

Tax Basis: Shipping

Shipping Zone: None

Sort Order: 0

Thanks for your help

Table rates are the total shipping cost not a per item shipping cost ...

I am not sure I understand.

If I gave an item a weight of 10 in which I put in my table as $9.95, why when you check out with 2 things each with a weight of 10 making 20 total why does it show $9.95 instead of $19.90 which would be for a weight of 20?

Thanks

The Table rates are how much to charge based on Price or Weight ...

They are not how much to charge per unit of Price or Weight ...

You might look at the Per Unit Shipping Module where the products_weight is the actual charge for the Product * the qty purchased ...

This uses the Product Weight field to do this ...

So if you say Product Weight: 4.95

Buy 2, the shipping is 2 * 4.95

Buy 3, the shipping is 3 * 4.95

Have another product with Product Weight of 3.35

Buy 1, the shipping is 3.35

Buy 2, the shipping is 2 * 3.35

Okay now I understand but here is a new problem I am having.

I enabled true item shipping and now the shipping for multiple items is tallyed during checkout.

lets use $.95 for each unit of weight. So bascially I have an item that is weight of 1 which costs $.95 to ship. So if I buy 2 items it should be a cost of $1.90. But being that my table is set up like so

1:.95,2:1.95,3:2.95

It adds 1 + 1 = 2 and has a shipping value of $1.95 instead of $1.90

How do I set up my shipping table in order to fix this?

Thanks

Agai, Table rates precisely define the shipping charge based on your settings ...

They are not saying, charge XX.XX per item when this criteria is met ...

They are saying, charge exactly XX.XX when this criteria is met ...

You are trying to set up a charge per item, but change that charge at different levels to use the price * qty ...

You will need to customize a shipping module to do that ...

Or, choose a different shipping method ...

Or, you can post in the Commercial Help Wanted for someone to write a shipping module to your specs if you cannot write one yourself ...

Running into this problem as welll... any solutions? I opened up the table module for a peek... I assume it should be quite simple to write it so that say total weight up to 5lbs, shipping is $10, total 5 - 11lbs, shipping is $15 for example is possible right?

To do < 5 at $10 and >= 5 and <= 11 at $15.00 use:
5:10.00,11:15.00

Be sure to set to Weight and be sure to turn off the Tare settings in the Shipping/Packaging ...

NOTE: Anything over 11 with be Free with this definition you have as there isn't anything set to manage weight beyond 11 ...

I'm going to jump in here on this one too as I am trying to do something similar as the above method, but am running into the where it shows free shipping above my highest amount, which is 10lbs.

How does one cut it off at say 10lbs? I have a couple different flat rates up until then, but after that I want it to just disappear and they can choose from the other shipping options.

Are you saying you want the shipping module to show sometimes and then stop showing?

What shipping module(s) are installed and who is suppose to run when?

I have 4 different shipping methods. two show if they are within a certain zone, thats taken care of. One always shows, thats the courier.

However I want to offer a 4th for orders under 10lbs, a flat rate of $10.00. I would assume for this I would be using the table rate. However after the weight goes over 10lbs it shows as free. Any way to stop that? to make the table rate option disappear after the order weight is to high. The obvious answer would be to make shipping via the table method a million bucks for orders over 10lbs, but that seems to unproffesional.

You need to control the $this->enabled in a shipping module to set when it will show or not show ...

In the Table Rates table shipping module you will see:

    // disable only when entire cart is free shipping
    if (zen_get_shipping_enabled($this->code)) {
      $this->enabled = ((MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_STATUS == 'True') ? true : false);
    }

Now, you need to add a check on the weight ...

Add this below that IF statement:

    if (IS_ADMIN_FLAG == true || $_SESSION['cart']->show_weight() <= 10) {
      $this->enabled = true;
    } else {
      $this->enabled = false;
    }

Thanks Ajeh!

wow allot to take in this thread fo someone that has not been zenned YET, i also have a shipping issue where the courier charges per weight eg 0 - 2kg 90 bucks 2-5kg 330 and so on how do i set this up?

i used this and it only works for those highlighted in red

0.5:90.00, 1:90.00, 1.5:90.00, 2:90.00, 2,5:150.00, 3:150.00, 3.5:150.00, 4:220.00, 4.5:220.00, 5:300.00, 5.5:300,00, 6:360.00, 6.5:360.00, 7:430.00, 7.5:430.00, 8;480.00, 8.5;480.00, 9:520.00, 9.5:520.00, 10:550.00

Why are you making multiple defines for the same price?

You can just set the range for each break point ...

Also, check your Maximum weight and Tare settings in the Shipping/Packaging as these are setup for weight in pounds, by default and 50 lbs would affect your settings as you are using the the weight as kg and these settings are too low ...

how do you set the range?
