go to your shipping methods, click "new" and fill in the data for the rates you want

Hi

NOTE Using Joomla 2.52 and VM2.02

I have done that but how do I put multiple ranges if the only shipping method is VM shipper by weight. I seem to be able to only put in 1
I guess what I really need is a snew shipment method that allows for these ranges.

Thanks Dave

hi this does not seem to work as the only shipping method that is showing is the free one for local pick up. Not the many different rates depending upon weight of items at checkout.

Note the vm2 is different to vm 1 where you could easily do this.

Thanks, by repeatedly adding (and calling the shipping the same name) I have this working on the test site http://davetesting.info/

Moved to real site http://surfandsnow.com.au but had some local cache issues at first but did not realise. Took ages but upon clearing the cache all is good!

So Shipping module is now active and the manual move was successful!
