Shipping based on zone rates

[ramesh]

hi,

   Can any tell me how this shipping based on rates works..........?
   According to the konakart .. For Example
   "3:8.50,7:10.50,... Weights less than or equal to 3 cost 8.50 for destinations in this Zone. Weights greater than 3 but less than or equal to 7,
   cost  10.50 for destinations in this zone."

  if i give 1:4.50,3:8.50,7:10.50 in shipping module and if i change product weight to 1, @ time of check out shipping charges is still showing 8.50.
  it should show 4.50

  i am not getting it... please can any 1 help me

  Thank You.........!

Perhaps in your case you are forgetting the weight of the box?

If this was 3 (say) and your product was 1 - the total weight will be 4 and that would explain why your cost was seen as 8.5.

You can see the box weight definition in the Admin App under Configuration > Shipping/Packing - the "Package Tare weight"

If in doubt with these things it's quite easy to add some debug statements to the module code and figure it out for yourself.  You have all the source code for the modules and an ANT build file to make it easy to rebuild.
