Creating product by price using Vm2.x shipping module.

[pcbob]

I am using Joomla 2.5.7 and Virtuemart 2.0.10
Here you will be using your product price as a weight to create a shipping rate by product price.
First make sure your weights are set the same throughout, VM defaults to Kilogramme.

Open your products and add the Product Price as your weight. Save
Open the shipping module, shipment by weight,zip,countries. Add the normal fields save and go to the configuration tab.
Add the lowest and highest weights for that particular price range, add the shipment cost. save.
Add more the same until you have achieved your shipment range.

Example

Products cost £1.50 ( added 1.50 KG as weight)

Shipping costs 0KG - 1.99KG = £1.25
Shipping costs 2KG - 3.99KG = £2.25
Shipping costs 4KG - 10KG = £5.95

Adding one product it will show the weight of 1.50KG (£1.50) thus charging £1.25 shipping.
Add a second product which now becomes 3KG (£3.00) the shipping is now £2.25.
Add a third product which now becomes 4.5KG (£4.50) the shipping will be £5.95.

If you show weights etc for your product you can easily add these through your description instead.

I have tried various combinations of this method and it works, but if someone finds a flaw please let me know and i will re-evaluate.

Hope is solves a lot of headaches.
