Problems with shipping calculation -

[gguerini]

Hi guys, I need your help one more time. I hope it's the last time.

My store sells marble stones and we're talking about a lot of pounds. So I want to define a Vary by Weight shipping method.
The problem is, when I set up the rate of my shipping and leave the min and max empty the price is always the rate, which means, the same. I don't need to set up the mix and max because the rate is the same, independently of the weight.

For example: I need to tell the system that I charge $2 each pound. So, I need to multiply the total weight by my rate ($2).

If I have 10 pounds I need to do this: 10 pounds * $2, so $20 dollars. Got it?

I have some pictures to demonstrate my problem.
Thanks again.

On something like this, you might want to set the minimum of 1 pound and some maximum that the shipment would never reach. I don't know if your problem is a bug or if it was designed to require a min/max.

I tried that, but the shipping is not varying by weight like it was supposed to be. The price is always the same: the rate.

Any other idea?

Thanks!

What build of Able are you using? Some of the older builds had trouble with shipping methods when they were set to only specific warehouses.

I tested and got the same results, but I think it is supposed to be a total shipping cost per each weight break, not a per pound shipping cost.

It seems for this requirement you need to write your custom gateway. Please read followng topic from WIKI about custom shipping gatway
http://wiki.ablecommerce.com/index.php/ ... ng_Carrier

You can download source code of UPS and a blank shipping gateway from here
viewtopic.php?f=47&t=6651

All you need for your custom gateway to calculate price depending upon your weight requirements.

I was thinking about that. Anyone from Able? I really wanted to do that...

Thanks
