Even before the launch of our site, I now have a new dilemma. I have multiple distibution centers. How do you go about determining the shipping based client location and distribution location.
Thanks,

Shipping Calculation Question (multiple distribution centers)

In the shipping quote settings you can set the main shipping address for your store. Each manufacturer and product can then specify a different address that they are most likely to ship from. The shipping quotes will then be based off that pickup address.
If you ship a lot of the same things from several different places, this isn't going to work for you. Instead you need a module that will calculate the closest/cheapest center to ship from for each customer that requests a quote. If you can figure out which address to use before actually getting a quote, you can just modify uc_quote a little to take care of that. Then the other shipping methods should work on their own.
