Hi
we are looking at moving to open cart but we need something.

What we are looking for is a Hack or a module that can Restrict the shipping of Certain items by there length or individual weight to 3 different zones i.e.

UK Mainland--Can Have Anything
UK Highlands and Islands--- Can have anything under 1.5m long and under a individual weight of 2kg
Over Seas-- Can have anything under 600mm long and under 2kg

The weight restrictions can have ether no shipping at all after that weight or would need to have a subsidy add on for each kg after 2kg i.e.
3kg would cost the basic for 2kg +£2
4kg would cost the basic for 2kg +£4

On our current site we use the products sku code to determine where the product can go this is then checked at checkout with the shipping postcode but this is not ideal.

If anyone can help or know where we can get someone to do this for us it is much appreciated.

thanks

Jack

You could use Volume-Based Shipping to do this, although it would take a little bit of a work-around. What you would do is create a rate for each length/weight restriction, with flat rates like so:

Code: Select all

UK Mainland, Weight Min: 0, Weight Max: 2, From: 0, To: 999999, Charge: 2.00
UK Mainland, Weight Min: 2, Weight Max: 3, From: 0, To: 999999, Charge: 4.00
etc.

UK Highlands, Length Max: 1.5, Weight Min: 0, Weight Max: 2, From: 0, To: 999999, Charge: 10.00
UK Highlands, Length Max: 1.5, Weight Min: 2, Weight Max: 3, From: 0, To: 999999, Charge: 12.00
etc.
Because it's technically volume-based, you couldn't use multiple brackets within one rate, but you could create a rate with a min/max weight restriction so that multiple rates wouldn't be offered.
