UK Mainland Issue

Hi,

I can make an add-on for you which would allow define rates per individual region/state/province. If you are interested contact me via Customize button from the plugin settings page.

Oh brilliant, if that’s something you can do then that would be really beneficial for us. I’m trying to find where the Customize button is, but I can’t seem to find it for some reason sorry. Any chance you could be more specific on where abouts I can locate this?

Actually ignore that, I’ve found it. I’ll send you an email now, thanks for the quick response!

Hi did your plugin work?? I have the same problem I need to be able to have shipping rates for Northern Ireland, Channel Islands, Scottish Highlands.

Did you manage to solve this because I need to be able to charge a different amount for Scotish Highlands

Hi,

First you have to add UK counties — https://docs.woothemes.com/document/states-not-in-core/.

Then, you need to install the premium plugin version since free version does not support shipping by states — https://codecanyon.net/item/weight-based-shipping-for-woocommerce/10099013.

Thanks, I will buy it I think but I was wondering what the best approach is for shippingwith the following rules:

up to 10kg 12.50
15kg 15.00
20kg 17.50
25kg 18.75
30kg 20.00

It seem pretty straight forwards but i couldn’t figure out how to set the minimum price to 12.5 and them set the weight step as the weight goes up from there, especially as the price gets cheaper the heavier the item. The only way I found to do it was to create a new configuration for each weight range but thats not practicle really.

Correct, create rules for each weight range, 5 in total. Do you see any problem with that?

Well not with this one but I also have to create this:

Weight up to

1kg 2.66
1.25kg 2.87
1.5kg 3.15
1.75kg 3.42
2.0kg 3.70

2.25kg 6.36
2.5kg 6.36
2.75kg 6.36
3kg 6.36

3.25kg 6.57
3.5kg 6.85
3.75kg 7.12
4kg 7.40

4.25kg 10.06
4.5kg 10.06
4.75kg 10.06
5kg 10.06

5.25kg 10.27
5.5kg 10.55
6.75kg 10.82
6kg 11.10

Up to 10k. So unless you can see a way to do that a bit more easily it’s going to be quite a few rules, and then the same for 2nd class post as well as some others.

You can fold some rate ranges to reduce total number of rules to create. For example, rates from 3.25 to 4 kg can be turned into a single progressive rate — 0.28 per 0.25kg, or 1.12 per 1 kg, which can be defined with the plugin as Shipping Rate = 1.12 and Weight Step = 0.25. Rates such as 4.25-5 can be defined with a single rule also.

thanks dan, your support turn around is great.

you’re welcome

Ok thanks, I have made the purchase, one more question!

I am trying to setup these rates:

1.25kg 2.87
1.5kg 3.15
1.75kg 3.42
2kg 3.70

And I have assumed 0.28 difference between each price. I have set the following settings:

Tax Status ‘Taxable’
Handling Fee 2.95
Shipping Rate 1.12
Min Shipping Price 2.87
Extra Weight Only ‘Selected’
Min Weight 1.01
Weight Step 0.25
Max Weight 2

The problem is that by my calculations something weighing 2kg with 2.95 handling and adding VAT at 20% should be 7.98 but your system is returning 4.88.

How 4.88 gets calculated: (Shipping Rate * Weight + Handling Fee) * VAT = ($1.12 * 1 kg (over Min Weight, 4 chunks by 0.25 kg) + $2.95) * 20% VAT = $4.07 * 1.2 = $4.884

It seems you want to add a $2.95 fee over $3.70 rate for 2 kg example. If that’s correct set Handling Fee to 2.87 + 2.95 = 5.82. Also shift Min Weight to 1.25 since you actually want to apply the rule starting from this weight, due to your Min Shipping Price value. Leave Min Shipping Price empty, since it’s useless in your case. Other settings are correct.
