Shipping Calculations are Useless
complete
Matthew Brown
We need a better way of adding shipping calculations to our products. If we can not even duplicate the shipping costs from the integrated POD and drop shippers, we have a problem. I couldn't even create a different shipping price for an item being shipped to the United States or Canada. Some of the options are an absolute joke.

Our Shipping Options are pretty flexible. Sad that you found it useless:(
You can reach support and defntely we will try to help :)
We have a flexible way of charging shopping cost based on an address.
You can create as much Zones as you want, assign any State or Country to a Zone. Set ranges (from X to X) based on Shopping cart price or total weight. Also we have flexible additional shipping fee for each individual product + this fee can be based of quantity or just be charged one time.
Yep we do not have any integrations or automatic setup of popular carriers. For sure we will.
Please read our documentation to find more info how to properly setup your Shipping
This functionallity is availble from day 1 and i don't remember a case when we could configure any:)
Thank you

This group of 7 Shipping Related Feature Requests should probably be combined with the 79 folks over at the Feature Request called: "Better shipping and fulfillment = happier customers" for a total of 84 total Up Votes -- making it the 4th most popular request... of all requests. And it is then the 2nd one -- that is in "Planned Status" -- only beat by "Templates Done For Us"... which is more of an enhancement to what already works, versus a Revenue Loss -- across the board -- for all folks that ship with GrooveKart.

The solution is connecting Shippo or ShipStation which handles all of this PERFECTLY and also give a HUGE discount to us... since we will never get their BULK rates that they pass onto us...

The Kwaz: XPSShip give us similar discounts but without the monthly fees.
The Kwaz
Sheriff Guirguis: Wonderful Sheriff, but are ANY of these potential Shipping Solutions integrated with GrooveKart? If so, I've missed the memo.

The Kwaz: NO they're not. That's why I'm pushing for integration with XPS ship instead of shipstation which charges a monthly fee.
The Kwaz
Sheriff Guirguis: Yeah, Shippo also is a no charge service... they make an override on the discounted shipping rates that the majors all have -- identical rates... XPS, Shippo, Shipstation, etc.. some have direct QuickBooks integration but all that I've looked at have the labels, reports, best shipper analysis, etc... and the SAVINGS are significant... as well as making life simple by being able to go to the loading dock at the Post Office and just heave your packages into a rolling bin... no LINES, no BS, just go around back and drop them off. SWEET !!!

The Kwaz: Yea, they make life simple. With XPS ship, you click a button and it gives you the cost of all the shipping companies available and you can then select the one that is best. With our wordpress site, the order along with the weight and dimensions are automatically added so it's easy for XPS ship to calculate the total cost of shipping. Then we can print the label right in the office and we have the choice to have the courier to come to the office to pick up the package or we can take the package to them.
