Attributes & Free Shipping - Advice on how to set up

Please forgive me if this has been said somewhere, I just couldn't find it...

We sell memberships (different levels with different prices.)

  • Always Free Shipping: Yes

  • Product Priced By Attributes: Yes

  • Attribute #1:

    • Ship Magazine to USA - Free
    • Ship to Canada +$7.00
    • Ship to All Other Countries +$10.00
      (Include in base price - Purple (no "X")
  • Attribute #2:

    • Send my Free Calendar - USA - Free
    • Send my Free Calendar - Canada +1lb
    • Send my Free Calendar - All Other Countries +1lb
      (Include in base price - Purple (no "X")
  • Attribute #3:

    • Send Extra Calendars - No Thanks - Free
    • Send Extra Calendars - (1) +$10.00 + 1lb
    • Send Extra Calendars - (2) +$20.00 + 2lbs
    • Send Extra Calendars - (3) +$30.00 + 3lbs
    • Send Extra Calendars - (4) +$40.00 + 4lbs
    • Send Extra Calendars - (5) +$50.00 + 5lbs
      (Include in base price - Purple (no "X")

PROBLEM:
I can't seem to get this combination right.

  • I need the magazine postage to be charged based on the qty
  • I need the weight for the calendars to calculate properly if they live outside of the US
  • It seems to only work if and when I do NOT make the product "Aways Free Shipping." I have tried doing the Combo Shipping option, but then it charges base shipping even for the US.

Is there a workaround for the -0- weight still calculates postage issue?

If someone could tell me how to set this up, I'd greatly appreciate it! Might even throw you a Free Calendar! P.S. I have to get this working tonight or else I won't have a ######## to sit on tomorrow!!!

Thanks!
Michelle

Re: Attributes & Free Shipping - Advice on how to set up

I finally realized that I couldn't search for "0 weight", but I searched the forum for "zero weight" and found 1 part of the problem...

Admin-> Configuration -> Shipping/Packaging -> Order Free Shipping 0 Weight Status - changing that to 1 works like a charm - now when the weight is set to -0- for the product or total weight, it uses the "Free Shipping" module and no shipping is charged.

For the attributes I had already entered a corresponding weight for each one, so again, when the person selects an attribute with a weight attached, it goes from free shipping to actual shipping.

The only other part of the picture that isn't working perfectly but I can deal with is:

  • Attribute #1:
  • Ship Magazine to USA - Free
  • Ship to Canada +$7.00
  • Ship to All Other Countries +$10.00
    (Include in base price - Purple (no "X")

I would like the $7 or $10 to show up seperately in the shopping cart like what happens when you use a "One Time Fee" - the problem is that it wouldn't be a "One Time Fee" if they purchased qty 2+

Any ideas??

Thanks!
