MSADMIN Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 I simply want to be able to charge the right shipping fee to each person based on their distance from me within Canada and the US. So obviously if I am in Toronto Canada, it would cost more for me to ship to LA than it would to NY. Are there mods that figure that all out for you? I'm looking around but I am so confused about all the mods out there and what they are for. I don't want to ruin my store by installing something wrong. Any help or advice will do. Thanks in advance, Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryK Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 (edited) How do you want to ship your items? If you plan on using UPS or FedEx, there are modules that will link up to them for live shipping calculations. Canada Post also offers a live connection for shipping calculations. In my case, though I'm located in Canada, my store prices are in US dollars, and the reps I spoke with at Canada Post didn't seem to think there was any mechanism that would allow for currency conversion. So instead, I created a whole bundle of table-based shipping modules, each based on a limited shipping zone within Canada, in the US and internationally. I then printed off all the Canada Post rate guides to calculate at least approximate shipping to each area and filled mine all in manually. (That really wasn't as bad as it sounds, though did take a bit of time to begin with...)
