Guest Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 How do I get shipping rates by weight to go by 100 gram increments? and all the way up to kilograms? like I need to apply shipping rates to 100, 200 grams, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700 , 800, 900, and then 1 kg, 2 kg , 3 kg etc.....or should I just apply everything by 100 gram increments? thanks Khadija Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Okay, so I did a search on here to find some people with similar problems as me. So basically I can"pretend" that my items weigh 1 kg and write the weight by kg even though they are in grams. I am very hands on and I need visuals to help me understand things. So I am trying to see how this would work and please let me know if what I am saying is right or wrong. For example I have that 100 gram bag of powder (I deal with powder products) and I say 1:5.00 right? then I write that the pack weighs 1 kg but it is really 100 grams. I am just not entering the TRUE weight. But the big question is that I have options on my powders. I have 100 grams, 200 grams, 300 grams, 400 grams, and 500 grams options and even similar wholesale options that start at 1 kilogram (true weight) and go by 1 kilogram options. So how does the shipping by weight recognize the option weights chosen upon check out. As shipping by weight needs to be added in for each individual product, but my one product has like 5 weight options and the prices next to it. Can someone guide me in this? Because the shipping for 100 gram bag will not be the same rate as someone buying 500 grams, but they part of the drop down menu options. HELP ! thanks Khadija Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please contact us to see if we can make an alternative arrangement or reduce the amount of items in your basket" HennaSooq did you solve this issue ? as I need same weight in grams as well as the products I sell under 1 kg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eric47905 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 When I was toying with the shipping by weight, I had it in pounds, but I put the weight as 0.1 for the item, then in the weight class, I did it by 10ths of a pound. I.E. 0.1:2.75,0.2:3.25 . . . this would mean 1/10th of a pound is $2.75 to ship, and 2/10th of a pound is $3.25 to ship It is not in kilograms, but the theory would hold sound I think, if you are weighing something at 250g, it would be laid out as 0.25kg for the weight of the item (meaning 1/4 kilogram or 250g) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Hi there.. Thanks for your suggestion. I tried that and it didn't seem to work either. I have 0.25:4.90 and in my individual products i've set it up as weighing 0.250 each it automatically puts in a 0.

Jayphen Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 antzypants - I think the issue may be related to the AusPost shipping module.. Go to modules\shipping\Aus_Post\calc.php Search for if($totalWeight<= and change the number next to it (which is 0.1 by default) to 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
