How to set maximum postage rate?

General General Questions
1

I would like to have individual postage rates on items and also a maximum postage rate.



Only really have a few different shipping rates (£6.95, £10 and £12.99). If a customer orders multiple items I don’t want the shipping to exceed the top rate (£12.99)



Is this possible?



I know there are settings in cost/weight dependencies but it seems to add the rates together rather than override the lesser postage rate.



Cheers,



Bob

Anyone? Really need to know.

I assume by the silence that this doesn’t work with CS Cart.



Is a shame.

It would seem to me that you would be able to do this although I use real-time shipping method…

Can’t see how it would best work?

Still looking…

Not sure if I understand.



What and how should I order so shipping would cost 6.95, 10 and finally 12.99? Should cost be defined by weight or quantity ?

Hi Darius,



Shipping is done manually at the moment - each item has a shipping price attached to it eg £6.99, £9.99 and £12.99. I want the maximum rate to be set at £12.99, regardless of how many items are ordered.

wouldn’t it be easier to setup a shipping rate of 0 and then put an item dependency on it…



like

0 items 6.99

5-10 items 8.95

more than 10 items 12.99

11

Can’t do that as some items are heavy (ie 25kgs) and need the £12.99 rate applied straight away, whereas other items are smaller at £6.99 rate.



What I need it to do is, if the customer buys both the big item and small item, not to be charged more than £12.99.

12

so then use the weight adjustment rather than the product count



i.e.


0 grams = 6.95

100 grams & < 300 grams = 9.95

300 grams = 12.99
