Shipment by weight is buggy

[Otto0815]

Hi,

i've set up 2 shipments methods; by weight:

1st= DHL  weight from 0-999kg = 2,95€
2nd=DHL  weight from 1000-9999Kg = 3,90

if you now add 2 products to the cart (one with 1kg an another with 1000kg) the shipment is shown correct as 3,90€

BUT if you delete the second product (the one with 1000kg) from the cart, the shipment costs are also shown as 3,90 €, which must be 2,95 €....cause it's now under 1000kg..so it's not updated

and if you now click the "edit shipment" link, the user can choose between 2,95 € & 3,90 €....

Any solutions for this?

Hi Otto (the Dutch Otto for JoomlaNL?),

My shipment by weight doesn't do anything. Published the plugin, setup shipments. AFAIK also setup the shipments correctly. It still shows the radiolist, where you can choose from all the shipments. Note that I have also a shipment where you can pickup the items. Also enabled 'activate automatic shipment selection'.

Do you know why its not working?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Twix,

im not from the netherlands...

In the shipment plugin you only have to fill the fields you really need(e.g if you nedd weight, then only fill in the weight ranges)..
If you fill in any other fields (zip or so), it wont work (thats my experience till now)...

Had been a little bit easyer in VM1

Hi Otto,

Do you mean in the VM component at shipment?

Yes....

But please don't highjack this thread......

So, was anyone able to reproduce this bug from the first post?Or doesn't it happen to anyone?

I think the whole shipment by wheight plugin is buggy. It doesn't work for me, even not if I don't fill in the zip codes. This user also reports problems:

I have done the exact same configuration as u, and it works for me. But i am using the latest VM = 2.0.3.G
which VM version are you using?
if you are using the latest , can you give me a screen shot of your 2 shipment configuration?

[Otto0815]

And you have tried to remove to SKU with the higher Shipment costs from the cart?

I've put my configuration in the attachments...

Version:2.0.3G

here are my screen shots as well.
I have two shipping methods defined:
1) Downloadable products = $0 for shipping and weight = 0 pounds.
2) Flat rate US = $8.00 for weights of 1-1000 pounds.
(I gave up on international flat rates of $10.00 if out of the US)

Flat rate of $8.00


No Shipping for downloadable products (weight of 0)

Hi,

Sorry i don't understand what you mean.

Hi,

And you have tried to remove to SKU with the higher Shipment costs from the cart?

Sorry i don't understand what you mean.

As i've written in my first post:

You put 2 Articles in your cart...one with shipping cost's of 2,95 € and another with shipping cost's for 3,90 €
--->Then the shipping cost's are shown correct with 3,90€

BUT

If you now delete the article with the 3,90 € shipping cost, the cart doesn't show the now correct 2,95 €

And if you now click on "choose shipping" you got the possibility to choose between 2,95 € and 3,90 €.......

In short: the shipping cost's dont update themselves if an item is added/deletet from the cart and the custumer can choose on it's own...

i hope that you can understand now what i mean...

[Otto0815]

Strange...this whole shipping things seems a little bit complicated........i don't know what i've to change now...

[Twix]

Is the shipment weight plugin fixed for the last version?
If not, could you do this please? Thanks!
