Additional Postage Table Contribution : I screwed up !!

[Lalla]

I installed the Additional Postage Table contribution several weeks ago, and am now seeing the results of my 'work'. I screwed up somewhere. The checkout shows :
Media Mail : $1.97
Priority : $0.13 or $0.10 (whatever is entered into the Handling area for the table.)

I can't figure out what I did !! and it was so long ago (to my brain anyway) that I don't even remember the steps I took. I wanted to show Media Mail, 1st Class and Priority (no parcel post). I added the $0.13 to the handling to cover the printed delivery confirmation charge that occurs with shipping any of the methods except Priority (which is free). BUT that $0.13 is showing up AS the Priority option. I changed the handling fee to $0.10 just to check it and sure enough the Prior. option changed to $0.10. I did have to change with weight/price string because we want to ship less then a lb, so it looks like this :

.01-1.00:1.42,1.01-2.00:1.84,2.01-3.00:2.26,3.01-4.00:2.68,4.01-5.00:3.10,5.01-6.00:3.52,6.01-7.00:3.94,7.01-8.00:4.24,8.01-9.00:4.54,9.01-10.00:4.84,10.01-11.00:4.84,11.01-12.00:5.44

this was made following some instructions that I found on here, but they had placed a , (comma) instead of : (quotes) between the weight and the price. So I changed it, maybe that was wrong in this instance. Anyway, I need to figure this out asap since I was thisclose to opening my store!

Thanks in advance!

I'm not familiar with that exact module but based on other shipping modules, if there's an option to calculate by weight or by price, do you have the correct one selected? It looks like your shop's calculating with a weight/price either over or under the maximum/minimums you've set. This could easily happen if you've worked out the prices by weight (as you seem to have) but the module is set to calculate postage by price.

You could tell if this was the case by changing 0.01 to 0, and if that makes no difference, changing 12.00 to something a lot higher (1000000). Or order something with a price in the range of your table.

Your table of prices looks fine, I think it's just the way it's being applied that needs seeing to. There should be an option to change it in the admin panel.

Thanks! I'll see if I can figure out where the setting is. I THOUGHT I had run across it awhile back and set it to weight, but so much has been done to the site since then, that anything is possible. I'll post again when I find incase anyone else runs into this problem.

Thanks again!!

Table Method is set to Weight. SO, I'm back to square one. I find it really odd that the Priority option is picking up the Handling amount as its price.
Is the Table Method listed somewhere else that might need to be changed? this was in the Admin/Modules area.

Thanks!
