Hello.

first of all set up at least 3 Locations (in your case UK/Europe/Rest of world) in the Admin-Localization-Locations (see short Locations manual )

Then go to Admin-Extensions-Shipping. Install and enable Weight Based Shipping extension. Once extension enabled go to 'Additional Settings'. You will see Tabs with Weight Based Shipping settings for each Location you created before
Please check manual how to configure Weight Based Shipping method

Hello..
Many thanks, actually was just on my way thinking this would be the best way to proceed..however i didnt see on the first look that i was able to multiple location zones to a location, so this was what stumped me to start with..

a question then..

It looks like i will need to manually add all the location zones?

the uk one is simple enough as its well.... just the uk and its zones..
But the Europe entries would at a quick guess be over 50 countries and their zones..
whats left would be Rest of world (need to count em..)

I am happy to sit here and set all of these, however i was wondering if i need to re-enter these on another install if it was possible to ...

A:Export then import the locations?
B:Export then import the Weight based shipping data?

Many thanks for the help..

Kind Regards
carl

mmmm. you plan to sell all over EU. right?
in that case you have to add all countries with zones manually.
