Um, in the StoreBuilder, it looks to me like the shipping is chosen in the checkout.tpl, *after* the cart is filled. I'm at the point now where I would gladly move the shipping selection to the very first page of my store, however stupid that would be from a user-interface perspective, but it presents a couple of problems: What's to stop someone from choosing UPS on the way in, filling the cart with items at that cheaper price, then going back and switching it to 1 Day right before they check out? The header field says 1 Day, but the LineItems bill for UPS Ground. 1 item 2 items 3 items 4 items UPS 9.50 14.50 19.50 24.50 1 Day 14.50 23.00 31.50 40.00> For more complex stuff, you can go back and modify lineitems once they > are in the cart using [SetLineItem] as you already mentioned. Yeah, but not without the Pricechange password. I've tried embedding it in the context as shown below, with no luck: [setlineitem cart=[cart]&db=software.db&index=[lineindex]&password=YourPasswordHere] Is there a way to do this? This is just very frustrating, because the implementation seems so poor, compared with the taxRate, which is re-calculated anytime the State field changes. I can't be the only person with different shipping rates. Won't somebody please chime in with a suggestion. I've spent weeks developing this store, and I'm so close to finishing. Spending day after day hung up on shipping is really aggravating. I'm developing behind a firewall, but I'll gladly make it public if people are willing to take a look...help?Brian:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: : Brian.Drum :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: mailto:bdrum@aecsoft.com : : Web.Designer :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: http://www.aecsoft.com : : AEC.Software;.Inc.:::::::::::::::::::::::::::: tel:703.450.1980 :::::: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
