Manual shipping

Hello,

As there doesn't seem to be auto shipping plugins for anywhere other than Australia, is it possible under Manual Shipping plugin to set different Air Freight parameters depending on how heavy the total order is. For example, if an order weighs 3 kgs it will cost more to ship by air than an order just weighing 0.5kgs. Is there some way I can set these type of parameters, so that it calculates the total weight of the order and then applies the right cost to the shipping value for the order?

I notice that the AuPost plugin does this successfully. Can this be done for shipping from other zones either using manual shipping plugin or some other way?

Is it possible to edit the Aupost plugin to change the pricing values so that it can be applied to other parts of the world?

Hope this makes sense.

Kind regards.

Hi,

You can do that with the manual shipping methods plugin.
You will need to create several shipping methods. One per combination of zones and weights.
So you will have:
australia from 0 to 2.5kg => $10
australia above 2.5 => $20
rest of the world from 0 to 2.5kg => $20
rest of the world above 2.5kg => $30

You will have to create a new shipping zone before with all the countries where you ship except australia.


You can't use the AP plugin for other shipping companies. They use totally different APIs. Each time, the shipping plugin needs to be redone from the ground up.... Which is why we did only one so far.
