Shipping table method incorrect

I have the cost for shipping being done by the table method. The table is defined as

2:2.50,5:9.75,7:11.75,10:18.75,
15:20.75,20:25.75,25:30.00, 30:35.00,35:40.00,40:45.00,
45:50.00,50.55.00

For a test case of a product that half a pound ( 0.5 ), the shipping is being calculated as $9.75. It is as if it is ignoring the decimal point in the weight when doing the calculations. The weight is being displayed properly as 0.5 pounds.

I'm not sure whether this will make a difference or not but you have a little mistake there..

2:2.50,5:9.75,7:11.75,10:18.75,
15:20.75,20:25.75,25:30.00, 30:35.00,35:40.00,40:45.00,
45:50.00,50:55.00

thanks, but it didn't make a difference. I also did two of them for a total of 1 pound and it still gave 9.75

Is Calculation Method set to Weight?

I just tried to have 5 of them for a weight of 2.5 pounds. It went to 11.75. the next level.

So (ith added tests) we have:
1 ==> 9.75
2 ==> 9.75
2.5 ==> 11.75
4 ==> 11.75
4.5 ==> 18.75
5 ==> 18.75

While the table says it should be

0->2 ==> 2.5
2(+)->5 ==> 9.75
5(+)->7 ==> 11.75
7(+)->10 ==> 18.75

It appears as if the calculation is adding 3 pounds to the weignt and then calculating the costs. (1,2 become 4,5; 2.5,4 become 5.5,7; 4.5 becomes 7.5)

Yes, the calculation method is set to weight.

Check your tare settings..

Admin>Config>Shipping/Packaging

Yes. the tare had 0:3 so it was adding 3 pounds. However, I changed that to 0:0 and it still gave $9.75. I even emptied my cart and closed the app, returned and it was still $9.75 for 2.5 pounds.

and it was still $9.75 for 2.5 pounds.

According to your intended rates from your previous post, that's correct.

So it is :oops: It's been a long, titing day. Thanks.

Pleased to help.

Hi,
I've been trying to set up the shipping table by price and by number of items. Is there a way to do it?:lookaroun

Not both at the same time, as you have it stated ...

Can you give more details on what it is you are trying to do with Price vs Items?

I would like to set the shipping rates by price, however if somebody buys 2 or more items, I would like the shipping price to increase accordingly. I sell merchandise that's already in the box, so I can't package them together.

This would need to be customized ...

Or, you can get tricky ...

If you were to use the Per Unit perweightunit and put the Product Price in the Product Weight (products_weight) field, then it would use this amount for the Shipping Charge and multiple that by the quantity purchased ...

Note: when using the Per Unit perweightunit shipping module you want to edit the Shipping/Packaging settings and set the Maximum Value much higher, I use 5000 vs the default of 50, and set the Tare Rates to 0:0 ...

Hi,
I encountered another problem. I asked my site administrator to help me with changing the name on the autoresponder and he did something so I can no longer go beyond the step 1 in the checkout process. Since then they e-mailed me that they do not get involved with the third party scripts and that was the end of it. They caused the problem and left me like that to deal with their screw up.:censored:
Does anybody know what did they mess with if I get the following message after the step 1 in the checkout process :
"Not Available At This Time
Sorry, we are not shipping to your region at this time.
Please contact us for alternate arrangements."
What did they mess with?
Thanks, Dave

Please disregard my previous post. I deleted the zip code validator and got rid of the problem.
So, going back to the shipping configuration, I tried to do what you said, and I'm getting the shipping $0.00 on each product. I set up per unit per weightunit like you said, increased the max weight and changed the tare and got zero. If I was to set it up that way, then how do you get the module to read the price as weight unit?:unsure:
