The point I took away from your original email is that the more accurate your ability to use the plugin to reflect your actual shipping costs, the more competitively (and fairly) priced will be the total customer cost. This is very compelling and I appreciate your carefully describing your circumstances. Coding work will start Sunday since my Saturday is booked.

Tentative design: I plan on introducing a new setting, “Large Orders Shipping Method” with options: “Prorate” (default for past compatibility), “Tier” (per your suggestion), “Free”, “Base Cost Only” (similar to Free, except the base cost is still applicable). This is a fairly large redesign, so it may take a few weeks to fully code and regression test.

Thanks for letting me know. Glad you were able to resolve the issue.

Curiously, this has not been reported previously. I’ll investigate. Thanks for reporting the issue.

Thanks for the feature request. You have made a compelling case and I plan to start work on it in this weekend.

The link I previously provided appears to now be broken. Here’s a better link, https://code.tutsplus.com/articles/the-beginners-guide-to-woocommerce-shipping-settings-part-1–cms-22124.

2.0.1 has been published to address this. wc_price was the function utilized. Since this also addressed a money_format() related bug, it was released before any additional enhancements were considered.

2.0.1 has been published to address this issue. Thanks again for reporting it.

Will be replacing the money_format() with wp_price(). It introduces a table formatting error though. Once that is resolved I’ll release this fix as 2.0.1.

Thanks for reporting the bug. I did not realize that money_format has OS dependencies. It’s use was implemented in this plugin’s 2.0 version to produce the Cost Table at the end of the setup section. Turns out, this design also has an issue with displaying the correct currency according to the WC settings. Investigating that issue I learned that WC provides a function for formatting the currency. I have been planning to introduce a fix that takes advantage of this. Due to the money_format error reported here, I will accelerate getting this fix into production. Thanks again for the bug report.

This is the 2nd request for multiple shipping methods. Currently this feature is not supported. I think what is required would be modifications to the WC shopping cart so that a shipping method could be specified. I’ll give this more thought, but it seems well beyond the scope of this particular plugin.

Thanks again for your question. It got me to thinking about the shipping costs table that appears at the end of the settings section. That table is assuming USA currency. I found a WC function, wc_format_localized_price, that will allow me to display this table according to your WV currency specifications. I’ll add that enhancement to a future release of this plugin so that the plugin is even more internationalized.
