Hi reinhold, I just got the advanced version of the plugin, It is awesome btw!

I would like to ask your help about a few questions.

1)
I need to have an initial Shipping price of 6$ for the first 6 articles, after that I need to increase the price for every 6 for example

0-6 articles shipment = 6$
7-12 articles shipment = 12$
13-18 articles shipment = 18$
19-24 articles shipment = 24$

this should be calculated according to the number of articles dynamically.

---

2) Is there a way to display the total Shipping in the name label?

Something like this

Name=Postage ({shipment}$); ZIP==4 ; Shipping=12*articles


3) If I have 3 possible shipments lets say:

Name=Shipment 1; ZIP==4 ; Shipping=12
Name=Shipment 2; ZIP==5 ; Shipping=14
Name=Shipment 3; ZIP==6 ; Shipping=15
Name=No Shipping available, please check your Shipment Addresses; NoShipping

And none of the first get selected, how do I force to display the NoShipping last rule?, actually in my example it is selecting shipment 3 if I set zipcode to 9




Thank you!

Hello,

1) Basically you want the shipping costs to be 1$ per article, rounded up to the next multiple of 1. So one potential rule (there is not one correct way, but many right ways that yield the correct result):The 1* is there just to indicate where you would modify the rule if you want e.g. 2$/article.
This approach uses the feature of the ceil/floor/round functions to specify the unit to round to. In our case, you want the Articles variable to be rounded up to the next multiple of 6, so you give 6 as the second argument to the ceil function.

2) This is currently not possible. I have put it on my list of potential future features, but I can't promise when or even if I will ever implement this.

3) When None of the first three rules match, then the NoShipping rule will automatically apply. For a zip code of 9, Shipment 3 should definitely NOT match. What are your exact rules?

Best regards,

Hi reinhold, thank you for your support.

1) No it is not what I mean, let me explain better:

I will sell bottles,

so from 0 bottles to 6 bottles shipping should be 6$ (it is not 1$ per bottle it could be 8$ or any amount)
from 7 to 12 should be 12$ so the price should increase per 6 bottles this is because I can put only 6 bottles in a box, y the user select 7 bottles I have to use two boxes so I need to charge 12$ (two boxes) if the user selects <=12 bottles it should be 12$ because 12 bottles fit in two boxes, but 13 bottles needs 3 boxes, and so on

2) :( this could be something very useful when the price is not fixed and calculated dinamicaly

3) I just create a new shipment with a clean set of rules and it worked as expected, something should be wrong in my rules

If I set zipcode 999999999 it always return "Northern Territroy Remote" rule

1) Thanks for the further explanation. This was exactly what I tried to say (I mistyped and wrote "multiple of 1" in the first line, while it should have been "multiple of 6"):
On the other hand, you can also calculate the number of boxes ("ceil(Articles/6)") and multiply with 6:

3) In the "Northern Territory Remote" (note the typo: "Territroy") rule you have "... OR 0853 ...". I suppose you are missing a "ZIP=="?
Without the ZIP==, the 0853 will be interpreted by the computer as true (to a computer, all comparisons and conditions are just functions that have the value 0 or a non-zero value. Non-Zero means True, Zero means false. So "0853" on its own means "True" and thus the rule matches always...
