1. Zone/Class Tables
2. Basis: Value
3. Zone/Class Configuration: set your regions/countries there.

Have you started it or had a go at any of it yet Jay?
It seems a very logical and easy setup, which part are you stuck on?

Setup your dummy countries, cater for them on the tax tab and then have 3 shipping zones equivalent to them with the appropriate classes inside.

Highlighted is the problem i have, not the zone specifying.

Just keep adding lines in the "Up to Value / Cost" table. You can cap it by ticking "don't allow excess".

Or am I misunderstanding something here?

Read the column headings once you have selected to ship by value, all will become clear . You can also use the tooltip.

Will this automatically work out how much to charge someone?

Say a cutomer purchased something for £10 would they be charged £2.50

Er, yes. It's how Actinic works

See attached jpgs for proof ...

I might fall foul of others users thinking but your shipping charges aren't exactly inviting customers to spend more, as the more they spend on the goods (making you more profit) the more they pay you for delivery. My way of thinking is that it should be the other way round, you should be rewarding those that spend more not penalising, just my opinion.

I for one would look for another supplier that offered an incentive when I came accross the checkout pages.

Or even, spend less. If I were charged £2.50 shipping on an order worth £10, I'd be outta there ...

I'd say £2.50 under £50 was pretty competitive......

Its the massive jump from that to £8.50 that seems excessive and as said would see me clicking onto another supplier.
The problem is that say you sell products and one is £48 and the other is say £60, unless the £60 one is vastly heavier than the £48 one or delivered by express courier compared to basic royal mail customers will think hang on where is the extra £6 going.

maybe i should of explained it a bit clearer.

I'm using v7 so "up to value" column is "order value"

also i am doing this as part of my coursework, where the shipping charges are dictated.

so where your points on my business ethics are valid they're also redundant.
