Hi folks,
I am looking to setup a new website with Joomla 1.7. I would like to know if there is a way to have three shipping methods for the product we sell.

We sell products from many wholesalers. We have a few wholesalers who drop ship products for our shoppers. For the rest of the products we ship them our self via various couriers.


1) We have one wholesaler who ships products (on our behalf) by weight.
e.g.
For UK only

  • 0-4.5kg shipping is £4.50
  • 4.5-20kg shipping is £8.75
  • etc


2) Another wholesaler is shipping (on our behalf) by order value and region.
e.g.
UK only- (by order value)
  • £0-£29.99 shipping is £3.00
  • £30.00-£99.00 shipping is £4.70
  • £100-£249.99 shipping is £5.99
  • More than £250 it's free shipping


For various EU countries the shipping cost is fixed for deliveries up to 30kg.
e.g.
  • France= Eur17.50,
  • Spain= Eur12.50 etc


3) Shipping from our warehouse is based on weight and destination (Zones)

If a shopper buys goods that require shipping from the 3 different 'warehouses' I am not sure how a shopping cart would reflect all the different shipping costs in the total cost?

Does HikaShop support this type of shipping methods?

Any help on the above is much appreciated.

Many thanks,
Vaishali

Hi,

You can do all that by creating manual shipping methods. However, you won't be able to have more that one shipping method per order.
It means that when you have shipping methods restricted by weight, the whole weight of the cart will be taken into account.

There is no easy solution to have more than one shipping method per order. HikaShop has not been design for that.

That's a too big change and we are focusing on other things for now. So we won't be able to help you on that.

You can always ask a freelancer on joomlancers.com or in our jobs area on this forum.
