Hello,
 
I am currently setting up the shipping module, which must follow the following rules:
 
================================
Within the Fiji Islands
Per Order Flat $3.50
 
Pacific Islands, New Zealand and Australia
First Book $12.00
Thereafter $6.50
Maximum Shipping Cost $59.50
 
Rest of the World
First Book $15.00
Second Book $9.00
Thereafter $6.50
Maximum Shipping Cost $76.00
================================
 
I have created my own shipping module and configured the Shipping Methods by country so that the right method is always selected. I have managed to configure Fiji and the other Pacific Islands without any problems, except for the maximum rate.
 
My question is how to go about calculating the rates for the rest of the world given that the rate decreases after the second book. I guess I have to use the external PHP module to do this, but I cannot find any documentation of which variables are passed and how they should be returned in the manual.
 
Thanks!
Leon

Hi there,
 
I am having problems to custom my own shipping method. How do you do this?
Thanks,

Hi Leon,
I am also trying to set up the rules like yours. But not able to do so. Any help you can give? Would greatly appreciate it if you let us know how you set up.
 
Anyone else facing this problem: I have set up the maximum weight of 2 kg for an order and also have set up that delivery is restricted to certain countries. But when I order with total weights more than 2 kg the checkout is still allowed without any shipping charges added! Also when I try ordering from the restricted countries the checkout is still allowed to proceed!

the key to this would be to use the quantity or a weight to trigger each of the shipping types (by country or group of countries).
 
example for the 'rest of the world"
Seperate shipping types for based on quantity
type 1 min & max qty = 1 , per order = 15.00
type 2 min qty = 2 max= 9 per order = 11.00 and 6.50 per product (2 books would be 11.00+6.50+6.50)
type 3 min qty=10, max=2000 per order 76.00
