Skip Shipping Choice.

[timslatter]

We have a problem.
We only deliver celebration cakes within the London M25....they are far to elaborate to consider relying on a national delivery couirier. We charge £12.50for this service/choice. The other shipping choice is free collection.

However we have just launched a limited range that can be sent by mail order nationally.
The problem is that when we add another shipping choice called "mail order", we constantly get custoemrs ordering from our elaborate cake range and expecting mail order delivery Nationwide......no matter how boldly we point out and explain the shipping choices.
Is it possible to include the mail order price in the product and skip the shipping choices straight to the card payment page. This way we would not need to include "mail order" as a shipping choice at all?
Can anyone help with a solutiuon?
Thanks
Tim

Hi there

The shipping in Actinic is global. When you create a class it applies to all the products and restricting a shipping class to a product group is already a wishlist item. I can add a vote for you.

Hi,

Another way to look at this would be to do it by weight, Create a class for 'mail order' and assign weights correctly to the products in this class, you will have to create a shipping table to be able to match the highest possible order in this range, select 'Take highest value in table'.

For the Elaborate cake range, mark these products as Ship seperately and assign a very high weight to them, something that is beyond the max weight in the 'mail order' shipping table. Now in the class for the existing choice, use this weight and assign a rate to it. The rest can stay the same. I would suggest making a backup of your existing shipping tables in case you want to get back to square one.

Kind regards,
