| Needing a hack for this (or maybe included as standard). What happens when a customer purchases more than one of the same item with Individual Shipping? The shipping cost is multiplied by the quantity! Not good. Example 1. You're doing a special promotion, selling a widget for £1. It's light so you set an individual shipping cost of £2 (you don't know the exact weight). Customer buys 10 of them. £10 for the widgets and £20 to post - hmmm. Example 2. You're selling a large item for £30 and you know that your chosen postal method will cost you £10 for one, though 2 items will be the same postal cost and three will be a bit more expensive. Customer #1 buys two: items= £60 post= £20 total= £80 Customer #2 buys three: items= £90 post= £30 total= £120 Healthy profits, if you get a sale at all but not conducive to repeat business. I've thought about hacking in FirstPlusZones but with a modification... Read in Individual Shipping price and add on a percentage for additional items. Not ideal but certainly a flexible improvement. Using example 2, with a 25% increase (cumulative) Customer #1: 2 items= £60 post= £12.50 total=£72.50 Customer #2: 3 items= £90 post= £15.63 total= £105.63 Back to example 1, with a 20% increase 10 items = £10 post= £10.32 total= £20.32 Not the best examples but you get the idea, hopefully. Anyone done something similar? Thoughts? Ideas? Solutions?
