Title: Shipping cost: calculate per kg
Post by: EvanGR on January 19, 2017, 21:11:22 PM
[J2.5 / VM 2.6.22]

Hello,

Trying to do something similar to the following scenario for the shipment costs:

[example]

1) Define a shipment method with a minimum default cost of €5 for 0-5kg. (Many products do not have a weight defined so that will be the final shipping cost.)

2) If order weight is above 5kg (i.e. for products which have weight defined), then add €1 for each kg. So a 7kg order will cost €7 to ship.

Is the above scenario doable in VM without any extensions?

Thanks!

Thanks.

One shipping method for up to 5kg I presume. But then I don't see how a 2nd shipping method would calculate a different price for each extra kg added.
