So the more they spend with you, the more you might penalise them? So if i go for 2, that's fine, if i go for 3 (most retailers would be delighted with this), you wish to add an obstacle for me to do that?

I'm confused, makes no sense or i have completely misunderstood. What is the below sentence supposed to mean also? can you translate.

if over 30kgs to 40 kgs and on ££££ example

Never ceases top amaze me when the more you spend the more you pay for delivery, certainly not an incentive and the ones that say this box of shoes weighs a bit more so email us for the correct delivery charge, in my mind that is a possible sales definately lost.

Unless the item is unusual in shape or large I would expect either a fixed rate shipping or free over a certain value. Certainly not the other way around. I would never bother to call for a shipping cost.

Bin there, done that (not in Actinic, though)

Totally agree with the replies - the OP must stomach the extra shipping cost, which on most occasions will be less than the profit on the extra sale......

Agreed, you may make less on 3 bags than you do on 2 because you have to ship in 2 parcels but that's the way it is. Try to get a better rate out of your courier or change courier if they have a hefty 30kg surcharge (City Link etc). No way should you penalise customers for buying more.

Or, look at alternatives for those heavy orders. Maybe sending a couple boxes with one of the online Parcel2go types would work out cheaper than your own courier contract?

I agree with the others however, but just to add, I'm not sure that you can model it in Actinic either you have to ship on cost or weight, there isn't an option to combine the two that I am aware of.

It would be a useful feature. When you have lightweight items of high value it would be handy to make Royal Mail options dissapear. We just set the weight of them at a higher value so it forces them into the courier pricings.

Category based shipping or the exclude from shipping calc already does this.
