calculate shipping charges per manufacture

[lleahu]

is there a module developed already that will allow you to calculate different shipping costs based upon the manufacture location?

 

for example:

 

i have products in my store from manufacture A and manufacture B.

 

manufacture A ships out of new york city, NY, USA.

manufacture B ships out of San Fransisco, CA, USA.

 

when a customer submits an order, his card is charged. we then relay the appropriate information on to the respective manufactures, and they ship the products directly to the customer.

 

I want the shipping charges to be calculated based on where the products will be shipping from, not where the store is located.

 

does this make sense?

As far as I know, I not found shipping contribution like your task.

 

for example:

 

i have products in my store from manufacture A and manufacture B.

 

manufacture A ships out of new york city, NY, USA.

manufacture B ships out of San Fransisco, CA, USA.

 

It's could be done by hack

manufacturers.php

file in Admin, including add a new field to MySQL database (table "manufacturers"), for manufacturer address (i.e. "manufacturers_addres").

 

Next step, you should create a new shipping module:

anynameshipping.php

This module must check (1) each ordered product (2) it's manufacturer & manufacturer address (3) customer address or shipping destination, and (4) calculating the shipping cost for these task.
