Title: Combine shipping options?
Post by: ApplianceJunk on June 19, 2009, 10:40:15 am: How do others handle combine shipping?

The few appliance parts I have in our store at http://appliancejunk.com/forums/index.php?action=store can all be shipped priority mail for $6.95

So I have $6.95 shipping on each item and then I have in Admin>Shipping Conditions> so anything between $0.00 and $1000.00 is also $6.95 shipping.

This works out find now with the small light weight items I have in the store, but what options do I have if I add a motor that might be 15 lbs and cost $20.00 to ship?

Can't do that due to multiple items listed and never know which item they are going to decide to buy more than 1 of...

I plan on using flat rate boxes. The price on those varies depending on the size of the box. It would be nice to be able to set shipping conditions based on weight or mass, so the price could change based on what size box will be needed.
Also, it would be nice to have shipping prices changed based on country, as shipping outside of the US is much more expensive than within. Unless there is a way to do this, I will have to add an item for these members to purchase that would be purely a higher shipping price.

Post by: SMFHacks on March 04, 2010, 06:23:02 pm: I could probably do something by weight for shipping.

By Country/State would little more difficult since we would need to ask the user what state/country they are shipping to before checkout.
Which would require a select field on checkout if the shopping cart enabled. If the shopping cart is disabled then a select field for country would need to be shown on main product display page.
