Shipping Methods

[Ggib]

Hi,

I'm having a few problems getting my shipping costs 'by weight' to work.

I have set the weight unit to be Kg under the Stock tab in the Store Settings

I have added a weight to each product added.

I can get the flat rate postage to work but am unsure as to what needs to go in the "packaging Weight" option on the shipping by weight module set up page. Is it supposed to be a range or a set value?

No matter what I try the postage still shows as £0.00 for both first and second class when something is submitted to the basket.

Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks

The "Packaging Weight" is the average weight of the boxes you use to ship your items. If the weight of the box does not materially affect the overall weight, you can leave this blank. Otherwise, enter just a number, 0.25 for a 250gram box.

 

For each Zone, you will need to enter the country ISO codes (look at the Countries/Zones page), separated by commas.

 

Then the weight bands: 1:1.72,3:2.45,5:3.29,10:5.44 This breaks down to:

1:1.72,  == All weight up to and including 1kg costs 1.72

3:2.45,  == All weight above 1kg up to and including 3kg costs 2.45

5:3.29,  == All weight above 3kg up to and including 5kg costs 3.29

10:5.44  == All weight above 5kg up to and including 10kg costs 5.44

 

Also for each zone, you can add a handling charge. Enter just a number.

Thanks for that but then what goes in the two shipping rates spaces below the handling costs? Which I have named First Class ( Signed for ) and second Class ?

Think I've just realised the answer to my last question - the two spaces relate to our weight bands? Is that correct?

[bsmither]

Correct.

Great. Thanks once again for your help - all works perfectly now.
