hi there,

I have come across a small problem in regards to Shipping..

some courier companies charge a different fee for items that exceed a certain length.

for example >2 meters

is there a way to incorporate in the manual shipping module additional fields for length?

also.. being able to use the weight & QTY properties as well..

for example ,

2.5 Meter rail
.500 grams

if item [length] > 2.00000 Meters and weight < 5000 grams then $30.00 (shipping)

therefore 10 x 2.5M Rails = $30.00 (shipping)

something like this.

the 'Uses price per product' function does not allow for this. nearly , but not quite.


Regards

Reace.

ps: have decided to go ahead with the Business Edition as client is already very impressed with this system.
expect a purchase tomorrow.

Hi,

You can already restrict shipping methods per weight and per volume. Since volume is length*height*width, you could set a height and width of 1 in your products and the length of your product to what you need and then restrict your shipping methods based on the volume since in that case volume will be equal to length.
