Hello everyone,

I need some help with a good and flexible shipping module. Please suggest me something with the following features :

1. Country based shipping cost will be shown to the customers according to the IP.
2. Shipping cost will be calculated automatically according to the weight.
3. Different shipping companies will be shown and amount will be changed according to the choice of customers.

Please give me suggestion according to the features I need (free & paid).

Thanks in advance to everyone.

If you want the customer's shipping address to get set automatically based on IP, you'll need a separate extension to do that, not a shipping extension. My Geo IP Tools can do it, for example.

For your shipping costs, Formula-Based Shipping should work for you. It has weight rules and other rules that you can use to set up your rates, and give customers the option of choosing between them. You can title each rate as you want, and combine different rates together if you need to.

Not that it does *not* support live rates like UPS or USPS, so if you need that you'd need to Ultimate Shipping. You'd then set up the built-in UPS and USPS extensions, and Ultimate Shipping can access rates through them. You can see an example of that in the "dropshipping" example on this page:

Feel free to take a look at the screenshots and demo site, and if you're interested let me know at www.getclearthinking.com/contact if you have any further questions.
