Title: Shipping Question re different shipping for different products
Post by: redback on May 21, 2013, 06:04:36 AM
Hello,

Is it possible in VM to have different shipping for different products?

Scenario
1) Paintings sold in Australia free shipping
2) Paintings sold overseas a set price
3) Other products (ie t-shirts, caps etc) weight based sold in Australia using Aust Post
4) Other products (ie t-shirts, caps etc) weight based sold outside Australia using Aust Post.

Thanks

You can do all that. It would be possible with the supplied weight/zip/country plugin, but I'd use this plugin which can do all you want - and more - http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=112127.0

Actually, my "Shipping by Rules" plugin is not able to set SKU- or category-specific shipping. Sorry.

you might be able to do what you need using the existing plugin - setting the weights for paintings such that they fall into their own shipping category

e.g.

painting product weight = 999kg

all other product weights < 999kg

then set the country to Aus for each shipping band by weight.

Aus - 0-5 kg = $10
Aus - 5.1 - 10kg = $20
Aus - 10.1 - 998.9kg = $50
Aus - 999 - 9999999 = $100 Paintings (although multiple paintings still charge $100 as do paintings + a cap!


Do the same for other countries
