Different shipping costs/methods with different products to different zones

  • A question about shipping:
    Company A based in USA and only ships in USA I have incorporated a flat shipping fee into cost of each product and can offer “free shipping”
    Company B based in UK ships world wide on weight based
    – I can manage to do the free shipping part if it is ordered from usa . if UK or Canada orders it comes up correctly with an error message (which I added via “Validation rule” plug in).
    I have set up the plugin “table rate shipping options” and have set up 4 shipping zone names: USA domestic (USA country selected only) – $0, UK domestic standard (UK country selected only) – includes 3 weight based shipping rates (that I Don’t want used on the USA products),
    UK domestic courier (UK country selected only) which is weight based but charged at a flat rate
    And then finally UK international courier (Canada and usa selected only).

    I am not sure if I am leaving out something as this just seems over Complicated.

    Under general settings I have selected USA, UK and Canada only and under the original shipping zones, and under shipping classes I’ve added: UK domestic, UK domestic courier, UK international and USA only. I have not assigned any costs to these classes. Or rates. All are no tax.

    My other concern is under each product of selecting a shipping class – for company A products that’s fine as I choose usa only.

    What can I do to incorporate different shipping methods and costs without make the cart look like a jumbled mess?

    I use woocommerce. I do not have access to files. (My dad does, so if you have something constructive I can pass it on?)

    Are you using the shipping zones from WooCommerce itself or as powered by your Table Rates plugin? If it’s the latter, you might have to contact the developers of your Table Rates shipping plugin instead.

    Also, shipping classes should be used to group products together according to physical attributes (e.g. small, medium, large) not according to geographical areas (that’s what shipping zones are for).

    It might also help to send through screenshots of your shipping setup – I’m finding it hard to keep track of your description above ??

    I have a similar problem.
    That I can’t seem to work out.
    I have a magazine that people can either purchase as a single issue or take out a subscription for 4 issues.
    I have set up two shipping zones 1. UK and 2. Rest of world.
    I’d like it so that if you purchase a single issue you just see the single issue shipping price… at the moment it’s showing both single issue and subscription postage price.
    Similarly, if you try and order a subscription you see both single issue and subscription postage price. I’ve created two shipping classes (single issue/subscription) but associated each product type accordingly ie single issue product to single issue postage class, however both postage methods appear whatever product type you purchase.

    Also, for some reason the postage for a subscription (￡14) is appearing in the basket as ￡28 for some reason it’s calculating it twice.

    Any help greatly appreciated.
