texte = Hi all,I'm putting together a simple site and have run into a shipping costs quandary. Based on Smith Micro's tiny store example, how can I handle the following situation:we have two types of products: posters and books. There are 4 different posters and 1 book for sale.It costs $5/book for shipping, and shipping the container into which we put the posters also costs $5. The thing is, we can get many, many posters into that same container for the same $5. How do I keep people who order 2 copies of one poster or 3 copies each of three different posters from being charged, respectively, $10 and $45 for shipping when it should be $5? The way it works now, I would be charging people far too much.On the other hand, since the books are heavier and will be packaged individually, the way this setup works now is exactly what I want.And these seemingly independent setups need to work in one order!Regards,Christopher Mackay, Multimedia Developer Tantramar Interactive, http://www.tantramar.com/ 506/364-1097 cell: 364-7659 fax: 536-2409------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
