Table Rate Module by Weight

[ahmad]

Hello community
I am new to this forum & I should first apologise for my bad English.
I wanted to know how to fix my problem with the table rate module by weight.
I sell items mostly at US$ 8.00 base for the registered airmail service.
I have also heavy items that the postal rates for them should be like this:

1 item postal rate as US$ 10.00
1 more item postal rate as US$ 4.00 extra or US$ 14.00
the 3rd item for $ 4.00 extra or $ 18.00
& the last step is US$ 25.00 for the 4th item & onward.

Anybody can help write the modules in the table shipping???

THANKS A LOT IN ADVANCE. I APPRECIATE ANY HELP GIVEN.

I looks like you don't want shipping by weight but want shipping by quantity.

I have 2 kinds of items in my website shop.
Some are light in weight that I can even send 5 for the same $ 8.00 but there are some heavy ones like Ceramic tiles that 1 costs $ 15.00 shipping & more.
So, it is not a matter of quantity but weight indeed.

First item Plus additional charge by Zones & for specific categories only (v 1)

You appear to be confusing terms...
0-5Kg = $10
5.01-8Kg = $14
8.01-15Kg = $18
Would be weight based - quantity has nothing to do with it

Search these forums for plenty of examples (some been given by myself)

I have made many searches but not got my answers yet.
Would you please kindly tell me how I should write the way you stated in oscommerce way as this? --> 5:10,5.01:14,8.01:18 ?
Am I right???
Then for each in the product listing what should I write. Take this example:
If I have an item of 300 grammes & 1 with 200 grammes?
What if an item 1 kg & the second 3 kgs?

Nearly
5:10,8:14,15:18

Then for each in the product listing what should I write. Take this example:

If I have an item of 300 grammes & 1 with 200 grammes?

(a) $10

What if an item 1 kg & the second 3 kgs?

(b) $10

If we use this:
1:10,3:14,5:18,999,24

0-1Kg=$10
1.01-3Kg=$14
3.01-5Kg=$18
5.01-999Kg=$24

(a) = $10
(b) = $14
Anything over 5Kg will be $24

Thanks a lot. Now, I think it is clear but will test it tomorrow & let you know.
The other matter is what if I wanted to add to the table you gave:

1:10,3:14,5:18,999,24

for the weight of less than 1 kg, should I write it like this? ( 0.300:5.00 ) for weight up to 300 grammes with postage of $ 5.00 ?

[ridexbuilder]

You can't mix grammes with kilos or put another way, you can't use decimal fraction amounts, like 0.3, 0.5. You either have to convert to all grammes 3Kg = 3000, or price postage on anything up to 1Kg at the same price.

A very BIG thank you for all the help you gave. The world is beautiful with peoples like you of the Good Will who try to help others. I wish I could return your favour some way.
Thanks again!
