New Shipping by range of weights

I would like to charge my customers freight based upon total weight of order. If the total weight falls within preconfigured ranges of lbs, use that flat rate for the range of pounds, not per pound. Is this possible?

1 - 10 lbs 10.00
11-20 lbs 25.00
and so on.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

you can set exact prices for each weight bracket by using :

admin-->configuration-->all settings                                  page 11  (on version 1.9)

ShippingByWeight.CalculatePerWeightUnit
ShippingByWeightAndCountry.CalculatePerWeightUnit

and altering the setting     true/false


eg
set weight bracket 0-1kg= £5       total order weight   = .7kg      shipping cost =    £5
set weight bracket 1-2kg= £6       total order weight   = 1.3kg      shipping cost =    £6

Thanks! Guess I need to upgrade from 1.8

you can do this also in v1.8, it will just be on a different page of the settings

Can anyone point me in the right direction of adding the ByWeight shipping to the FixedRate shiping to account for heavy items that will incur additional FOB shipping on top of the fixed rate shipping.  For instance, shipping up to $49 is $7 PLUS the ByWeight shipping. Over $49 the FixedRate shipping is $0 PLUS the ByWeight shipping (only products subject to FOB would have a weight added to their product details).

Shipping.ByWeight can add fixed rate to a weight from-to range.  However, you want to also use "By Total"  ("up to $49", "over $49").   That can't be done out of the box.  Shipping Director can do it using a surcharge expression:

Type                   Option
Name                   Shipping
Expression             true
Rate Expression        Shipping.ByWeight
Surcharge Expression   ([$SubTotalWithDiscounts] > 49) ? 0.00 :  7.00

This may interest you if you have more complex freight shipping needs

So your product and suggestion here would reflect [$7+Freight] if <$49 and [$0+Freight] if >$49? How long is the trial period for your product? Does your product include updates as nopCommerce updates and for how long?

Yes. (actually,  [$7+Freight] if "less than or equal" to 49 :)
The trial version will allow 5 calculations in the public store.  Then you (the customer) will get a warning that will require restarting the web site.  Additionally, a trial version will expire about 4 months after its initial release; if you need to trial an older version, I can provide a license key that would expire - in 15 days.  There is a "Test" button on the configuration page.  You can use that as many times as you want, and it does not expire.  (Note, though, that the rates displayed on the test page won't take into account "overrides" performed by nopCommerce core - e.g. Free Shipping over X. , etc.  Those really should not be active when using Shipping Director.  There is a warning message in the Test dialog about it.)

If I buy Shipping Director for a store in v3.3 and then I migrate it to can I then get the SD for 3.4 for free or do I have to buy it again?

Yes, I was asking the same question.  Does the purchased product include upgrades (as nop itself upgrades)?  If so, are they lifetime of the domain upgrades or are they limited to a time period? I would not want to have to repurchase the software again.
