Does the shipping estimator include the handling fee, if not how can we have it included?

Shipping Estimator does include the handling fee.

We have about a $3.00(low) variance all the time between the estimator and real charges. Any thoughts ?

Rates for residential vs commercial addresses can be different. By default Shipping Estimator considers a commercial address.

Also when estimating the shipping charges we only know zip code that we use to get the rate estimates from the shipping provider. With full address details I can't say for sure but shipping providers may be providing different rates.

Now that makes more sense at least the commercial rate, with what we are seeing in the consistent difference.

So can you provide instructions as how to set the shipping estimator to use the residential rates pleases?

In BasketShippingEstime.ascx.cs file

After this line

Code: Select all

                Address estimateAddress = new Address();

Add

Code: Select all

estimateAddress.Residence = true;

Thanks, That seems to have gotten us a lot closer.
