Hi,

If I use weight based shipping for the USA/Euro, how do I add the packaging weight. I know that sounds mad but, if I add say and extra 100g to each product weight to cover packaging. If they then order say 5 pieces, it is going to make the product much heavier and more expensive then it is. Is there an easier solution??

Thanks in advance!

There's no built in way to do this. If you're using the standard weight based shipping module, you can make this edit to (for example) add 15% to the packaging weight:

Code: Select all

IN:
/catalog/model/shipping/weight.php

AFTER:
$weight = $this->cart->getWeight();

ADD:
$weight = $weight * 1.15;
