Title: Need shipping module based on weight and Zone
Post by: ajith_vedanta on September 03, 2010, 08:49:19 AM
Hi,

I need a shipping module that supports multiple functions. It should be able to accept the price based on weight of the product and the shipping charge should be calculated based on the total weight of the items purchased. Also there should be minimum shipping charge applicable and it should be based on country (India and International).
I think the sku-quantity based or standard/zone shipping can be updated or if you feel creating new one is easy, can any one please help me out.

Thanks,
Ajith

Hello,

I don't know if I'll be much of a help, since I'm new to virtuemart...

But I think you can do that wiht the standard shipping module. You just need to create all the rates... for weight/country.
You create a shipper, then create a rate, lets say, for products from 2 to 5 Kg. Here you'll have to create several rates, for this weights, one for India, and one for each country (or group of countries).

Hope it helps,
