Hi,

I am trying to set up calculated shipping (inventory edition). I have listed an item twice now, but the shipping calculator did not function as wanted. The item numbers are here... 7005431158... 7005327856...
I had to end them.

Please tell me how to set this up, I can't figure it out, and why doesn't the preview work, I wanted to just Vendio preview the listing first to make sure it was as I wanted but when I preview and enter a zip code or a country it comes back stating "Invalid Item".

What I want is to use calculated shipping for USA flat rate envelope.

For international I want to use two options, one is flat rate Global Priority envelope and the other would be for the countries that do not accept Priority Mail, so that would be airmail. In the listing 7005327856 you can enter United Kingdom to get two prices, but neither price is for a flat rate Global Priority envelope (should be $9 plus my markup). I think that it is giving a price for normal Global Priority by weight, not the flat rate option.

Tried two more listings that are current and live (test listings)...
7387486741 and 7387513017 ... In these, the calculated total are still incorrect, I had used the option for USPS Flat Rate Envelope and 2 pounds weight and then I used 4 pounds weight in the second auction. Both are returning the same problems with the calculated shipping. For USA shipping they are giving the normal "by weight" shipping, and for international they are giving the flat rate "small" envelope rate, not the large envelope rate, so it is stating $6.88 (includes my 31% markup) for intl. instead of stating around $12.00.

Help me please...

Thanks,
Rick

Hello Rick,

Both your notes are correct:

1. The flat rate envelope option is not fully supported for US at this time, and the calculator will indeed show the "by weight" cost.

2. For international, it is the smallest flat rate fee that is shown.

We will also check the report about the calculator not working in the SMIE preview.

Thanks,

-Radu
