You just use the current one and make additional geozones for it
1. Create geozones:
USA Shipping
USA Expedited
UK Shipping
UK Expedited
2. Install Weight Based module
3. Set the rates:
USA Shipping: 5:10, 10:20, 15:30, 100:100
USA Expedited: 5:15, 10:25, 15:40, 100:150
UK Shipping: 5:20, 10:30, 15:40, 100:130
UK Expedited: 5:25, 10:35, 15:50, 100:180
Now a USA customer will see 2 options and the rates based on the cart weight

Ok. Finally the solution was simple thanks for the help btw.
Very Simple in the end which is always annoying , no duplications Needed or anything.
for New Zealand based Shipping (weight) with companies like PBT (Peter Baker Transport) what needs to be done is the Following.
setup 2 New Geo-Locations;
North Island & South Island
Under each new Geo-Location split the cities for North / South between the 2
north Island > Auckland , Wellington etc
south Island > Christchurch , Dundedin etc (they arn't actually in there btw)
next goto Shipping > weight based.
The Settings for Weight-based shipping go like this instead of what is depicted in the actual module (typo)
weight:cost, weight:cost
so lets say that the fee's for north island shipping are upto 3kg $6.50 and upto 6kg $9.50 then..
you will enter the following information into the 'rates' box: 3.00:6.50,6.00:9.50
save and enable.
Sorted.
Again Really do appreciate your help.

Yes, this is exactly the trick I used for my previous eCommerce solution as it was the only way to set up numerous variables for different areas...Qphoria wrote:You just use the current one and make additional geozones for it
For example all items ship Free via Regular. Most items have a flat rate for Express Post except for some which have a different charge depending on which state they lived in. This is where it got tricky as we offer four different shipping options so I ended up working out a way with assigning fabricated weights to certain products and then assigning the costs in the shipping...
Anyway, I almost thought "perfect" as I already have all the variables laid out... except... the display order. OpenCart seems to display the weight based shipping in alphabetical GEO Zone title order. I really need a way to define sort order. I need Regular above Express as that is the "Free" shipping option. If I place numbers before the shipping method it works, eg: 1) Regular, 2) Express but I would really prefer not to do that.
Any advice?
Also, is there a file I can edit to increase the character limit of the GEO Zone title beyond 32 characters? I tried changing "admin/controller/localisation/geo_zone.php" from 32 to 60 but all that happened was the warning disappeared but the characters were still truncated.
PS: I purchased a couple of your mods the other day.
