Shipping Methods

Hi,

I have enabled HikaShop manual shipping plugin and set up 2 shipping methods;

If a customer orders 3 of the same item, it cost $1.70 to ship
If a customer orders 4 of the same item, the shipping defaults to Express
If a customer orders 6 or more of the same item, I get an error message "The total of your order is too low for all the possible shipping methods"

What I would like it to do is this;

A customer selects either Standard or Express

If Standard and they select more than 3 of the same item, a second standard rate is applied (and so on every multiple of 3)

If Express and they select more than 5 of the same item, a second express rate is applied (and so on every multiple of 5)

If this is not possible, how do I avoid the error message?

Hi,

Actually you can't manage the limitation on product quantity for the shipping methods.
What you can do is use the weight or volume on the products to limit the shipping methods.

Example, set a static volume of 10 on each products. Then create a shipping method from 0 to 30, another one from 31 to 60, etc. With a different cost on each of them.

However what if they wanted to get say get 6 items there would be 2x of the standard rate, so the above method wouldn't work?

No, I think Xavier is right, however the same principle should also apply to price.

Hi,
I think that you should maybe :
- Use the "Use the prices per product" option of your manual shipping method.
- Set a price for each and a minimum quantity products through the "Shipping prices" tab of each product's page

Note that you can add more than 1 shipping price.
