Thanks. Hi Have you looked in: http://addons.oscommerce.com/category/Shipping_Modules if you have but still can not find one. then think about this: use the wight but use it as a code ie. use just 1 in the wight box of the item then in the wight table do 1 = 5.00 2 = 10.00 3 = 15.00 ect... then in the shopping cart you need to change the name ref to wight to shipping code or the like. I did this on one of my old site when we needed the 1st item is 5.00 and the 2nd is 10.00 and the 3rd is 19.00 then 19.00 was the most customer would pay for shipping.

♥Vger Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 In the default osCommerce there is a "Per Item" shipping module. You set a price per item and the shipping charged will be based on the number of items in the shopping basket. No need to install another module or to use workarounds for something that already xists.

Vger Hi Yes you are right but it is not felxable if you have a per itme as the std and you set it to 5.00 that works but if the custome puts 10 or 50 items in the cart you will not get the order as the shipping cost is to hight 50.00 or 250.00 with the above you can stop the cost when it gets to say 15.00 and then if you have a item say a pallet of good and it needes a fix price of 75.00 and still need the other 3 items to be 15.00 as the order will be 2 shippments then the std will not work. to set this ie up 1= 5.00 2= 10.00 3= 15.00 4 to 79= 15.00 80= 75.00 81= 80.00 82= 85.00 83= 90.00 then all shipping cost are right but this can not be don in the osC std "Per Item" shipping module?

Guest Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 the other way that does not look so like you are charging 50 or 250.00 is to just inc the shipping in your prices and then offer FREE shipping and you the will all ways get the order. this is all because when osC started customers on the net did not look or think of the shipping so you could charge a high price but in today online shopping you can not get away with this, so until osC changes the "Per Item" shipping module to work like this it is not worth useing? and YES if you look in THIS forum you will find this time and time again.
