Hi,

Im sorry but I just cant understand your shipping plugin, one thing really confusing me is why you have 4 decimal points 0.0000

1 Kilo is 1000 grams, so should it not be 0.000?

I have low weight products, around 100 grams, how do I make this work, this is what I have tried but very unsuccessful :(

Vshipment weight set to Gramme

Heres is my rule:

Name=Standard Shipping; 0.1001<=Weight<0.2500; Shipping=1.99;
Name=Free Shipping; 0.1000<=Weight<0.1000; Shipping=0

Whats the hell is 0.1000 that looks like 1 kilo to me, Im totally confused.

So my product shipping is set to Gramme

and the weight set to: 0.2000

When I add this to the cart, it says no shipping, aarrggh please some one explain to me in plain English how this works.

Thank You

The number of digits after the decimal point is not relevant, you can add an arbitrary number of zeros without changing the value.
1 gram is 0.001 kg, which is also identical to 0.00100000000000.

BTW, where did you get that 0.0000 number and format?

0.1000 kg is 1/10 kg, i.e. 100g. And 0.2000 kg (or equivalently 0.2 kg) is 200g.

But as you state that your plugin is set to use grams as the weight unit, a value of 0.1 means 1/10 of a gram! If you really want to compare the weight with 100g, you need to compare the weight with 100 (gram is implied) and use a condition

Name=Standard Shipping above 100g; 100<Weight<250; Shipping=1.99;
Name=Free Shipping up to 100g; Weight<=100; Shipping=0

Notice that the second rule ("Free Shipping") in your example does not make sense, because it says that the rule should only apply if the weight is at least 0.1, but strictly smaller thatn 0.1, which cannot both be the case at the same time. I don't think you want a lower bound, right?

I hope this helps,
Reinhold

I really appreciate you spending the time to explain that to me, sorry I didnt reply until now, been so busy lately.

Thanks

Problem solved.
