Hi all I'm new here, and pretty new to Drupal and programming!
Ive been trying to set up product shipping, without much luck! What I'm trying to do is give the customer the option to choose which delivery method they want fro a dropdown or check boxes. eg

£2.50 to the UK (Recorded Delivery)

£3.00 to Europe (Airmail)

£4.00 to Everywhere else (Airmail)

£6.00 to the UK (Special Next Working Day Delivery)

£8.00 to Europe (International Signed For)

£10.00 to Everywhere else (International Signed For)

Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance

I don't think there is a module to do exactly what you want. To get close you need the geoshipping module for this.
You can find a working version here...

The problem is different rates for the some product to the same country.

I guess you could play with the countries and the zones. Example:
In countries you define the different shipping methods.
In Zones you define the countries you ship to.

That should work.

If you have questions, let me know.

Our website have similar requirements as yours, and we solved this by having multiple instances of the Flat Rate Shipping module... and this is the thread that helped us:

The only problem is that we're still getting the "Error Calculating Shipping" error in about 1 out of 20 orders. I think Alpha7C fixes this, but we unfortunately cannot upgrade yet because we rely on some 3rd party modules Sad

Hope this helped!!

Thanks Guys
That worked perfectly, I'm not getting any errors, Yet!
There is one weird thing going on though, when an item is sold out, it doesn't show "none left" unless it's in a block! I better look into it!
