Charge extra fees for shipment to particular locations
« on: September 24, 2014, 01:09:32 AM »
Hello.

I almost done setting up my first shop with Abantecart.

I have only one problem left. I need to charge the buyers of a small extra fee
if the shipment is directed to some particular locations in Italy that are particularly expensive.

I tried looking at the flat rate extension with no luck.

How can I solve the problem?


Thank You.

Alessandro

I resolved splitting  Italy in 2 sub zones and assigning different locations.

Yes.

I am really satisfied with Abantecart so far.

The product is really well crafted. I am sincerely impressed.

I am just about to open the shop to public, just some testing and It will go online.

Thank You very much.

Alessandro.

Anyone know how this would be done in the US?   A lot of the zones are state based so what would be the best way to split up a state into multiple zones...such as by zip codes or at least the 1st 3 digits in a zipcode?

Maybe I need to look into editing or doing searches in zone.php?

Hi.

As for my problemi I proceeded this way.

First I created 2 different locations: "Italy" and "Italy Islands".

Then I assigned the different zones to each location.

Then in the weight based shipping extensions I associated two different pricing for the 2 locations above.
Now when the buyer chooses a zone located in an italian island an overprice is applied.

It works. I know Your problems is more complicated, hope this can help.

Alessandro
