Price per kilo after certain wight? How?

[raynox]

Hello all,

I'm setting up a joomla+virtuemart shop and I not sure how to achieve the following:

I've created some shipping fees acording to the total weight of the products added to the cart.

This was easy because between total weight A and B the shipping fee would be X.

The problem is that I havn't figured out out to add a price per kilo if the total product weight excceds B.

To be more clear, imagine you add 3 products to the cart. Since this weight total exceds B it want to have a fixed fee to charge the client relating the difference between total weight and B weight. Therefore the price of this purchuase would be B plus fee per kilo (in which the kilos are counted from total cart weight minus B weight).

Hope I could explain myself.

Thank you very much.

Best Regards,

Raynox.

You can use the standard shipping module.

Set up your shipper
Then set up your rates. If 3 kg was your set price you could do:

0.0001 kg - 3.0 kg $10
3.001 - 4.0  $12
4.001 - 5.0 $14
5.001 - 6.000 $16
etc

There's currently no module I know of to automatically set up the extra fee per kilo, but in 5 minutes you could set up appropriate rates as needed to the max weight of your likely sales.

Cheers,
Hula

Thanks Hule,

That's what I thought...I just have to analyse what possible weights that are likely to sale.

Thanks !!
