I looked through the forum quiet a bit but couldn't find a post which really combined all the things im after.

Ok... Here goes... hopefully this all makes sense and is possible.

First of all I want the view cart page to show no shipping catagory...

Now here is the hard bit (hard for me anyway)....

When a customer clicks the complete order link instead of being taken to the current default order form I want it to go to a form where the customer enters in their shipping address and chooses from a range of shipping method options for example Express, Courier etc. Also I want to have a Local Pickup option in which no shipping is charged.

Then when proceeding to the next page (which will ask for their payment information + enter the shipping information they have already entered) their shipping will be calculated on weight (entered in product add) + shipping method (courier, express) + postcode. So on the page where they enter their payment information it will display shipping in their total price.

The way I want to do it is so I will have set prices for each post code based on a weight division and the shipping method they choose for example.... Probably an easier way to do this but this is all I have come up with because I only ship in three weight divisions. which are 0-3kgs 4-16kgs 16-25kgs.. If an order weight exceeds 25kgs then the price needs to be doubled.

WEIGHT = 0-3kgs
POSTCODE = 2000 - 2220, 2234, 3000-3333 (and so on... would be a very long list)
Express = $5
Courier = $3

WEIGHT = 4-16kgs
POSTCODE = 2220, 2234, 3000-3333 (and so on... would be a very long list)
Express = $9
Courier = $6

WEIGHT = 16-25kgs
POSTCODE = 2220, 2234, 3000-3333 (and so on... would be a very long list)
Express = $15
Courier = $11


When I think about this it seems as though in theory it should work... I just don't know the process I need to use to make this all possible.

Easy 'nuf, manager -> Cart Display
In the row that has the shipping, use the drop-down box in the 1st column to select "BLANK".
Then hit "submit".

Can't separate these things into 2 pages, that I know of. But you can customize the order form to include the shipping methods you require. Shipping charges are then displayed on an info verification page that they can review before actually complete and send the order.

You can do the custom shipping logic something like:


HTH!
