Can I only give this a thumbs up once? PERFECT! It works perfectly - Thank You Burt. I am very seriously considering now going Pro simply to pay for the absolutely outstanding help you have quite freely given.

Thank you.

To anyone else reading this, the solution provided by Burt works perfectly and gives the ability to charge shipping by Weight, Price or Quantity across multiple zones.

You tried to create it on your own under your own steam, but it did not quite work.
That is what I love to see (that you tried), yet many people will sit on their hands and wait and wait and wait for someone else.

You tried. You gave your time to trying. I am happy to give a bit of my time in return.

Just to chime in om this. I had the same issue with shipping modules with underscores. Burt's version does not have that, and that was also how I fixed it (removing the underscores in favor of a module and class name with only one word).

Would I understand the explanation to why underscores are not allowed, for in that case, I'm currious?

With thanks to @ecartz for this:

The way that osCommerce handles the shipping is to join the module and method names with an underscore. E.g. free_free or table_table. With the idea that sometimes the method might not have the same name as the module. E.g. fedex_groundslow, fedex_nextdayair. So if the module name has an underscore, e.g. my_table, then you get something like my_table_my_table and it thinks the module is my and the method is either table_my_table or table.

Hello!
Please help me to set weight of items in grams and accordingly all postal expenses based on grams as well. Can't find how to change ounces to grams

Thanking in advance

[burt]

Apparently 1 ounce = 28.3495 g

Therefore if you have saved all your products weight in ounces, multiply by 28.3495

EG:
Red Apples - let's say you have it at 18 ounces.
18 x 28.3495 = 510.3g

How many products do you need to update?

[taler55]

Thank you.
All my weights are in grams , bur postage module treats those as ounces, accordingly, postage for a small letter looks like for a bid parcel.
Is it possible to set gram as a standard weight for the shop, including both the products and postage?

Then you need to amend your shipping table, but you have not said what shipping module(s) you are using.
The concept would be similar, assuming you are using zones.php

Admin > Modules > Shipping

You'll see something like

3:8.50,7:10.50,99:20.00

Multiply the bit before each colon [marked in red for your benefit] by 28.3495 (and round appropriately), eg;

85:8.50,199:10.50,2806:20.00

[taler55]

Thank you for the tip, will try.

P.S. Why you still use ounces? Because of the USA? Nowhere in Europe you'll find them....

You can’use underscore in shipping modules file and class name.
Try with: “tableZoneOne”
