Problem with shipping costs

  • Hi there. I’m having some problems with the shipping costs in WooCommerce. I’m creating an online shop for a friend of mine. Now she wants the following shipping cost-categories:
    – Three different kinds of letters (based on dimensions and weight)
    – Three different kinds of packages for the case that the letters are too small (based on weight)
    – Some products need to be picken up. If one of them is in the cart there should only be this option available.

    Is there any way to set this up?
    I think the first two points would be possible with the “Flat Rate Box Shipping”-Plugin. But I still don’t get how it’s possible two display only the pickup-option if there’s one product in the cart that has to be picked up.

    Flat rate box shipping should help with your other products, but I don’t know a way to force pickup. That one might require some custom code to look at cart contents and enable it conditionally.

    Thanks for the answer! That’s what I was afraid of. I’m not a programmer so I have no idea how I could do that with custom code…
    With google I’ve only found the code to force free shipping but I don’t now how I could change this code to force the pickup method.

    Since it’s custom you could post the job on https://jobs.wordpress.net/, find a Woo Expert https://woocommerce.com/experts/, or find someone on Codeable https://codeable.io/ to help.

    I’m not sure if this plugin would fit your needs exactly, but it was a huge help at my work. We have some products that because of size and weight, we have to increase the shipping cost more than just a weight table allows for. It allows for the ability to modify shipping costs based on a specific product or a product category. I am not sure if it will force a pickup option or not (not relevant to us at my work). However, the plugin author is super helpful and very quick to respond.

    The free version of this you can find through your WordPress dashboard (which we’re also using at my work) only pertains to free shipping. Just so you know.

    Hope that helps. Best of luck to you.
