| | Hello there! When setting up shipping, does the weight margin apply to just the
weight of the items or to the item weight plus the base weight? So, if the base
weight is 1oz and the items purchased totals 5oz, would a 10% weight margin apply
to 5oz or 6oz?
|
IMHO it's a margin to the items weight only.
The base weight you *know* it, so you provide your exact number (with or without
a margin or an average).

| Hi
The replacement service for 'signed for' is called 'tracked 24 or
48' with our without signature which is insured up to £150 and costs from
£3.95 for 48 without signature.

Just a quick heads up for those sellers who may not have noticed (LIKE ME until
today !!) that since the beginning of April, Royal Mail have reduced the compensation
on 'signed for' postage DOWN from £50 to £20. The main option to provide
cover over £20 is to use the new 'tracked' service (now up to £150 cover).
This new service was supposed to be available at Post Offices from the beginning
of April but it's been delayed so the only way at the moment is use the online
'click and drop' service.
Cheers

For ~£50 parcels I am still using RM but just the basic Tracked 48 version at
£3.39 (plus 20p extra as I often drop off at PO for convenience). When booking
online it still says that it has compensation to £150. Tracking is enough to
protect against "not delivered" claims and I feel insurance is probably
overkill for damage although it does mean I tend to package boxed sets so they
shouldn't be damaged. I find that decent enough for up to 2kg parcels and
never had an issue with late or lost deliveries with the parcel service (unlike
the large letter service).
I know Evri is slightly cheaper if dropping off light parcels, but there is no
convenient drop-off point for me.

| Correction.. £9.95 for a small parcel insured up to £5.
Thats still up £5.30. Evri is about £5 & up.

Not as bad as some of the Special Delivery services which are now up to £10 more
than they were. The most expensive Special Delivery band is now £30.55!

You don’t need to talk to anyone, just fill in a change request.

You can also enter your own dimensions in your inventory if it is causing an

You cannot have a minimum buy for shipping internationally and no minimum buy
for domestic. You can only have one minimum buy value for the store. If you try
to do it through the shipping settings, it will normally offer whatever default
shipping method you have when all other shipping methods fail. So if you only
have an international shipping option above a certain cart value, you will still
get orders below that, but that shipping option won't be offered. They are
still valid orders though, in that they reach your minimum buy for the store
(of zero, since you don't have one).
|
Yes but no - see my post:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1464775
I thought you could set up a fail safe international method with a minimum.
If it doesn't allow you to buy, then there's no shipping method, then
the buyer won't be able to buy.
I'm not sure, never tried, no minimum or such here, but it seems logical
to me?
|
I don't know now, maybe possible you can. I don't ship internationally
any more to try.
But whatever they do, the default shipping if everything else fails should have
the international shipping destinations turned off.

You don't say in which exact cases it doesn't work (country, amount...)
I would NOT set min buy for the shop, as you did I think.
I would set min buy to the Shipping Methods, but:
* don't miss one (may arrive if you've multiples)
* type decimals using "." dot and not a coma "," or simply
avoid decimals (like 20 instead of 20.00)
|
I have a shipping setup for Domestic (works perfect) and a shipping for International
(only 4 countries included). Only for the international one i have added a minimum-buy,
because with all the documents its just to much work otherwise.
I did not add the ,00 - bricklink does it automatically when saving. It's
also the correct way (mathematically) its always a , never a . so i guess this
should not be the issue and can't be changed manually anyway.
But thanks for your feedback.

I tried for more than 20€ it shows "via Europe Zone 1 (DE, IT, FR, AUS)"
For less than 20€ that seems to be a manual "via Request for invoice"
So the problem is in the via Request for invoice method?
You should have a manual method for local, and a manual one for other countries,
with a minimum.
