custom shipping issue

Hey, i wanted to put customer pickup in as an option, so i did some searching on here, and figured out where to put in the code for the drop down and also a few differnt versions for the code for the custom shipping logic, but i can't seem to get it to work.
I offer two shipping options:
ups ground residential
customer pickup

i want the ups ground to pull the fixed shipping cost i have assigned to weight field.
i want the pickup to charge 0.00 shipping.

Currently my custom shipping logic in it's entirety is as follows.

Code:

@sc_shipping_logic = ("Pickup||||0.00");

$shipping_price = &calculate_shipping($temp_total,
$total_quantity, $total_measured_quantity);

how do i set up the ups ground to pull from the fixed price per item?
how do i set it up to charge tax for pickup?

All can be done from within the manager -> Program Settings -> Shipping Settings
1. Custom shipping logic:
Answer "Yes" to using custom shipping logic.
Answer "Yes" to "If using Custom Logic, is shipping measured by weight?"

In the custom shipping logic box use the following:

Code:

@sc_shipping_logic = ("Pickup|||.01-|0.00");

$shipping_price = &calculate_shipping($temp_total,
$total_quantity, $total_measured_quantity);

2. Setting up UPS: still in the Shipping Settings:
Answer "Yes" to "Use the SBW?"
Set up the info pertaining to UPS in the section below the "Use the SBW" question.

3. Tax for pickup??? Sales Tax???
If you want sales tax charged on the merchandise + shipping total, then set the 1st setting in the Shipping Settings to "2".
Sales tax is set up in the manager -> Program Settings -> Sales Tax

HTH!

if i'm reading this correctly, won't i have to go in and change all of my shipping prices to shipping weights for each item?

so now all my $20 dollar shipping items are coming up as $14 because they are being calculated by ups.

oh and the tax thing i was asking about is, when you choose customer pickup, it doesn't charge tax at all on the order. i'm not trying to tax the shipping costs, but if someone does a store pickup, they have to pay tax.

How, exactly, do you want shipping collected??
Tax is based on the settings in the Tax Settings area of the manager...

i don't know how else to explain it.

i want to use the fixed prices i already have set in the item's shipping feild for ups.
but i want to be able to have a customer pickup option where there will be no shipping charged.

the code you gave me only calculates by weight (wich i don't want) and if someone chooses customer pickup, agora does not charge tax at all. i have my tax settings correct. if they use ups and ship to my state, tax is charged. if they use customer pickup, it is not.

does this make sense? am i still not explaining it correctly?

Okay,
So, answer "No" to the is custom shipping based on weight...
In the custom shipping logic use:

Code:

@sc_shipping_logic = ("Pickup|1-|||0.00");

$shipping_price = &calculate_shipping($temp_total,
$total_quantity, $total_measured_quantity);

Set the SBW to "No".

Sales tax is not dependent on the shipping method...

HTH!

ok, now i'm back to where i started. it's not charging for pickup which is good.

but it's also not charging for ups at all, which is bad.

all i want is that when they pick ups, it pulls the predetermined shipping price for that item that i have set in the items shipping field, but when its' pickup, pull 0.00.

HTH!

so...
in order to do customer pickup, you have to use the custom shipping logic?
and to use the custom shipping logic, shipping has to be calculate based on weight or a percentage of the total price of the order?

why isn't there something i can just put in the custom shipping logic that will pull the fixed price out of my inventory for the item?

Hmmm.... after careful review...
It looks like you can't combine custom shipping logic and the flat per item shipping price...

You can calculate shipping based on quantity of items ordered, total dollar amount of the order, weight, or flat per item rate.

Sorry for the confusion...
