((cost per oz.) X (total product wt. + container wt.)) + (container cost) + (handling cost)

The (cost per oz.) part would be determined either by a flat per-oz. rate you specify for Domestic or International shipping. Note that you can "game" the formula by applying non-literal figures for various settings, so the formula adds up the way you want, which is basically what I was doing above.

For "each additional item" charges, you may find it more helpful to think in terms of "each item" including the first one, so the first-item charge is actually the "each item" charge plus your Handling charge. If you want any part of Int'l shipping to be more than Domestic, then you can't have the same per-item shipping charge for both Int'l and Domestic. If you want Int'l to add 50% more per item, then set Domestic to 1.00 and Int'l to 1.50; if you want it to be twice as much, set Int'l to 2.00, etc.]]> E-junkie Discussions; E-junkieGuru http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3167/pg/0#post9159 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3167/pg/0#post9159 Fri, 13 Feb 2009 02:54:27 GMT
Thanks!]]> E-junkie Discussions; IMG http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3167/pg/0#post9159 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3167/pg/0#post9159 Fri, 13 Feb 2009 02:52:09 GMT - Set your Handling to 5.00;
- Set a Regular Tube's weight to 3.00;
- Set your Domestic rate to 0.00 and Int'l to 1.00;
- Configure each product with Weight of 2.00, to ship in a Regular Tube with some absurdly high packing capacity like 9999.]]> E-junkie Discussions; E-junkieGuru http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3167/pg/0#post9159 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3167/pg/0#post9159 Fri, 13 Feb 2009 02:51:34 GMT
Ok this is I think going to be the only solution (to use standard USPS rate calculation). We are actually shipping from Canada right now, so we will factor any shipping price difference into the item price.

Thanks so much for your speedy reply!]]> E-junkie Discussions; IMG http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3167/pg/0#post9159 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3167/pg/0#post9159 Fri, 13 Feb 2009 02:44:12 GMT E-junkie Discussions; E-junkieGuru http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3167/pg/0#post9159 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3167/pg/0#post9159 Fri, 13 Feb 2009 00:37:20 GMT
I have a question about shipping.

If say I wanted one flat rate for Canada and the US and then another flat rate to all other countries, is this possible?

As I experiment with trying to set things up, I notice that if I set my shipping country as USA, it treats Canada as "International". Is there a way around this at all?

Basically how we want to set the cart up is as follows:

-Flat rate for US/Canada of $5
-Flat rate for International (all other countries) $10
-No matter what country, add $2 per extra unit ordered

What's the best way to do this or will I need to set up 2 different buttons for 1 product:
1 add to cart button for US/Canada and the other for International?

I'm still struggling with getting a $2 charge for every additional unit after 1. When I follow the instructions (or try to) I am ending up with a price of $7 for domestic or $12 for international no matter what I do. I'm trying to solve what I did wrong.

Thanks!]]> E-junkie Discussions; IMG http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3167/pg/0#post9159 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3167/pg/0#post9159 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 22:27:50 GMT
Awesome! Got it now. That was the only box I didn't try... how silly of me... for some reason I never even 'saw' it.

Thanks again. I'm going to go thru the process and I'll let you know how I make out.

Take care!]]> E-junkie Discussions; IMG http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3167/pg/0#post9159 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3167/pg/0#post9159 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 04:00:53 GMT
When you checkmark the Shipping box for a product and click Next, a following screen will give you a place to specify that product's "weight", packaging container type and packing capacity (the latter two aren't important if you aren't using any of the Container weight/cost settings in Cart Shipping Settings :^).]]> E-junkie Discussions; E-junkieGuru http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3167/pg/0#post9159 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3167/pg/0#post9159 Tue, 10 Feb 2009 22:30:18 GMT
I see you have some great new features and I'd like to take advantage of them.

I am trying to set up "Case B" Flat Rate Shipping such as you have in the example here:
http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/help.shipping.htm

I have gone into the E-Junkie admin and set up things for Case A, as follows:
CASE A: Say $5 (domestic) and $10 (international) for each unit of a product

1. Go to E-junkie Admin > Cart shipping settings.
2. Enter 1 in "Domestic" per ounce price. Then in "International" per ounce price enter the factor by which your international shipping is more than your domestic shipping. Example: If you want the international shipping to be the double of your domestic shipping, then enter 2 in international per ounce price.
3. In your product configuration (while adding or editing a product), in the weight field, enter the amount which you want to charge for shipping. So if you wanted to charge $5 shipping for a product, you will enter 5 in here and the final domestic shipping will be 5 x domestic price per ounce (which you entered as 1) = $5.

-I have selected that I am shipping from "Canada" and am unable to enter in my postal code as the box does not take it.
-I have set Domestic to 1.00 and International to 2.00
-I have NOT defined packaging, not sure if I am supposed to do that or how to do it
-I have left all shipping destinations available
-No handling defined, as none is needed
-I have saved my settings

I have gone into my products to set up a product, which in this case is a physical CD.
I have checked
-Let buyers edit quantity in cart
-I have set my price to $6.00 USD
-I have put in a message
-I have input an item number

I have gone through the process, waiting for the part where I am supposed to do Step 3 from Case B -Flat Rate Shipping, which tells me to:
In your product configuration (while adding or editing a product), in the weight field, enter the amount which you want to charge for shipping. So if you wanted to charge $5 shipping for a product, you will enter 5 in here and the final domestic shipping will be 5 x domestic price per ounce (which you entered as 1) = $5.

I can not for the life of me find the "weight field". There is none that appears on my screen. Can someone tell me where to find this field in the product setup process?

Thanks kindly!]]> E-junkie Discussions; IMG
