Shipping By Weight

I want an option to compute the shipping rate for 24 kg products.

The first 4 kg will cost  8 euro, the next block of 4kg will also costs 8 euro.

So far, the default shippingbyweight plugin has Rate per weight unit but it counts 1 unit = 1 kg which fails for me in this situation.


I've extended the plugin to add in UnitBlock field to allow admin to define how many kg/lbs will be counted.

order weight from 0
order weight to 100  (kg)
Additional fixed cost =8 (euro)
Low weight unit=4 (kg)
Unit block = 4 (kg)
Rate per weight unit=8 (euro)


So, for 24 kgs, the shipping fee will be 8 + 8*5 =48 euro.

RE: "... I've extended the plugin "

So, do you still have a question, or are you just sharing your solution?

Hi! How do you extend the plugin to include UnitBlock field?
Do I have to add that in the plugin's code?

Yes, if he "extend the plugin", then he would have done that by customizing the source code. (And recompiling the assembly in Visual Studio)
