Hi _ I'm new to OS comm and this forum and would appreciate some help.

I have a number of items each with different shipping costs
i.e

Drill £39.99 + £6.75 shipping
Drill2 £39.99 + £4.00 shipping
Screwdriver £1.95 + £1.00 shipping etc etc

Can anyone tell me how I set up my shop to incorporate this? I have looked but find it all very confusing!

Also, is it possible to import everything from my ebay shop (which has correct postage for each item) into os comm?


Many thanks for any help you can give.

Hi there,

I noticed nobody had answered, so I'll give you some information, as limited as it may be!

As far as I know there's not a method to import anything from eBay, but I may be wrong.

I'm assuming that the difference in shipping costs is either related to weight or value, there are modules out there that can help you with this. If you look under the shipping module contributions, you should be able to find what you're after, and most give very comprehensive instructions.

I'm sorry that I can't be much more use than this, but hopefully it'll be of some use to you.

All the best,

RR

A way (not the best way, but it's easy to do):

Drill £39.99 + £6.75 shipping
Drill2 £39.99 + £4.00 shipping
Screwdriver £1.95 + £1.00 shipping etc etc



Give the drill a weight of 6.75 units
Give the drill2 a weight of 4
Give teh screwdriver a weight of 1

Now do shipping by weight, and give each weight unit a cost of £1.

There probably is but it will depend on getting the csv from eBay - I know there is a program for linking eBay sales to an osCommerce store but I reckon that it's too expensive unless you have a large turnover and high prices I do know the program is open source though...

If you go to admin>>configuration>>shipping/packaging and set the follow like so:

Enter the Maximum Package Weight you will ship 25000 (this is normally the max you ship in kilos or pounds)
Package Tare weight. 0
Larger packages - percentage increase. 0

I'm at the same point. I did what Zpanjun suggested and no luck also. Have you figured a fix to this yet.
