Same item, two warehouses, different countries

[brant@on-one]

I have a product that we make in the USA, and we'll be holding stock on that product both in the UK AND in the USA at the factory.

This product is currently unique amongst our other products, though we'll have a few like this (it's actually a £1000 titanium bike frame, if you're interested).

Can anyone suggest how I set up shipping so that...

1) anyone ordering it in the UK gets shipping priced from the UK.
2) anyone ordering it from the USA gets shipping priced on shipping within the USA.

There could even be a 3)
3)... We set it up so that where it's cheaper to ship onto countries from the USA, than the UK, we can do that too (Japan, NZ, Oz)...

I have had a fiddle, but for now have done it by creating 2 products - one with worldwide shipping on, and another with just USA shipping on...

Can I do it with just the one product and some sort of clever shipping category thing??

Do you ship by weight?

[brant@on-one]

By volumetric (alternative) weight, yes.

Give the product a weight way outside of your normal scales and then apply the costs in the various classes/zones.

I thought you were going to say that :-)

- that's your usual answer in this case - nice workaround. I'll have a go.

Dont forget to let people buy more than one also! so if you set it at 1000kg for example, make sure they can buy 10000kg worth etc in case they want 10 of them.

PS i need a new bike

Frames are £999 each - unlikely to sell 10. Also, I'm working on an integration to http://www.metapack.com/home/ - so will need "proper" weights in there.

Hmm.

Thinks.
