You could throw in some puntuation, Sara. It would make your inquiry easier to comprehend.

Do you mean a calculator to show 1/15 of the shopping cost when you ship 15 items in one box (cost per item), or,
costs that would be incurred if each of 15 descrete, identical items were to be shipped separately, or,
costs of individual and different items shipping in separtate boxes?

While Andy Miller is the shipping guru around here, the shipping in BVC5 is based on a package, not an individual item, unless you select to have everything shipped individually. It still won't be displayed like you want. What you are looking for is not something OOTB and would require custom coding.

I don't think it would be too hard. I would enter the unit shipping cost in the product definition as the "Extra Ship Fee". Then modify the cart page too display that field. Finally, I would create one shipping method based on BV's By Order provider (although you could use any) and set the shipping cost to 0. The shipping module in BV will add the unit cost (Extra Ship Fee) to the 0 calculated by the shipping method.

Andy,

Would a line-by-line quiry go out to UPS/Fed Ex Ground for real time cost? I can't image getting Google checkout in on this scheme, huh?

Forgetting Google.. This would be useful if 2 product "A"s shipped from the store and 10 product "B"s were to be shipped from a drop-shipper on the same order. The shopper could decide on an product-by-product basis what to drop from the order in the event shipping seemed un-affordable instead of canceling the entire order.


Interesting to note in the example shown the ship-to state appears to not be known yet. Per unit shipping...? I wonder if real-time is offered.

I don't think Sarah wants real-time shipping quotes. But if she added a FedEx method for example, then straight BVC5 would put all the items into one "box" (it may break up the order based on weight...I'm not sure) and then call FedEx once (per box).

I have seen stores that offer per product real-time quotes on the product page. I assume they do this by creating a virtual order with just one item to retrieve the qutoe. In every case they required a zip code, so it only worked with US addresses.

What do you mean by "use it as a default shipping method"?

FedEx requires at least the country and zip code. If you have entered those and FedEx is still not returning a rate, then perhaps something else is going wrong. Check BV Admin > Options > Event Log to see if any error messages were recorded.

My guess is that you removed...

<asp:Literal ID="ShippingLiteral" runat="server">Shipping Terms and Conditions</asp:Literal>

...from Shipping.aspx. If you did, then you also need to remove...

ShippingLiteral.Text = Content.SiteTerms.GetTerm("ShippingTermsAndConditions")

...from Shipping.aspx.vb.

But I don't think that would cause the FedEx shipping costs to not appear.

Here's what I would do:

1. Make sure you have entered your store's address (BV Admin > Content > Store Information).
2. Make sure at least one product in the cart is shippable (not marked "do not ship"), *and* as a shipping weight assigned.
3. Turn on Diagnostics mode in the FedEx shipping method you created, and make sure that United States is an allowed country.
4. Go to the cart page and click on the "Shipping Costs" button (not the checkout button).
5. Select United States and enter a valid zip code, then click on the Get Rates button.

If no rates appear, then go to the Event Log and use the diagnostic messages that the shipping method recorded to determine why FedEx is not returning a cost.

If you still cannot get it to work, open a support ticket so that the folks at BV can take a closer look.
