Which shipping modules are suitable for my case

Hi,

I am a newbabies of Opencart and planning to switch my online shop from Oscommerce. I got problem in chosing which shipping modules are suitable for my case. My case is:

3 shipping methods are available for customer.

- Regular Airmail Shipping for weight under 2kgs
- Airmail parcel shipping for weight under 30kgs
- EMS shipping for weight under 30kgs

In addition, we need to restrict some catagories cannot use Regular Airmail Shipping. After study on some addon modules, we found out "Restrict Shipping Methods" may work on our case.

However, are there any other modules needed to fit our case?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Terence

If you already have rates set up, then Restrict Shipping Methods would work to restrict when they are available.

If you don't have any rates set up, but want to create them yourself, you could use Category & Product-Based Shipping to do that.

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.

If you don't have rates and need something that automatically pulls rates from a live server (like UPS or Fedex) then you'd need to find an extension that's specifically created to interface with that courier's site. You can search the opencart.com store to see if one is already available.

Hi,

Thanks for advice. I've try ultimate shipping module. Everything works find and seems suitable. However, the calculation formula seems not woking there. The formula as follows:

20:3.70, 30:6.50, >30+10:6.5+1.6

20g - 3.7
30g - 6.5
>30g - additional 1.6 at 10g interval.

Is the weight base calculation can use this kind of foumula?

Thanks!

Yes, you can do that formula. You'd set up brackets like this:

0-20 = 3.70
20-30 = 2.80
30-9999 = 1.60 / 10

You'd then add a "Cumulative Brackets" rule to the charge, so they are charged successively.
