Within one manual shipping method, if you setup logic based on price and logic based on weight, how does cs-cart determine which logic wins? Is there away to say weight wins over price.
The problem I am having is my client does not have the weight on all his products yet, so I want to use weight for products that have a weight entered and price otherwise.
I tried to use Suppliers, but it breaks the order into different shipping methods. We need all the products shipped from the same method.

Neither wins - all the charges specified in a manual shipping method are applied.
You should be able to use the Suppliers addon to do what you want. When setting up the the Supplier options, uncheck both:
Display product supplier company
Multiple shipping method selectboxes
You will need to set up separate shipping methods with different calculations but the supplier stuff will be invisible to the customer. This should work well as an interim solution.

We had this issue back in the early days and we got round it by “Educated Guessing” the weight of the products and checking them as they were shipped. That way you only have one shipping method to manage.
If you don’t “guess” the weight you are still “guessing” the estimated shipping cost of the products without a weight.
To assist us with this we had a list of “Guessed” weight products and we ticked them off as we weighed them etc.
I like BarryH’s solution!

I like SIMPLE and so does my wife! :oops:

Unfortunately this does not work. If it did it would be perfect for what I need.
It works fine with “Multiple shipping method selectboxes” checked. It correctly breaks the items into shipping by supplier.
But when I uncheck it I get “Unfortunately no shipping options are available for your location. Please contact us and we will see about delivering to you.” when I add two items to the cart, one by a supplier and one with out.
If I only add products without a supplier it works fine. If I only add products with a supllier it works. But it does not work with a combination of products when “Multiple shipping method selectboxes” in the Admin is unchecked. Weird. I think this part of cs-cart is broken.
I do remember this problem now. It is the result of the suppliers not having a shipping method in common. When you turn off the multiple shipping method selection, only those shipping methods which are common to all the suppliers in the cart are shown (which makes sense).
BarryH’s solution looks better by the minute.
