i am trying to find a solution to a shipping problem. we are consolidating shipping to UPS only due to an astronomical amount of issues with postal (over 50% of packages sent via postal arrive late… the rest are slow, go missing, damaged, etc). i have complained to our local branch for years - and they simply do not care.
my issue: i need to be able to discount per shipping group (manually sorted group of products, or done via tag/collection) the CALCULATED shipping rates based on the customers cart total. either a flat discount or a percentage can work. flat shipping rates simply will not work for us - it has to be calculated.
for example: customer buys $25 worth of product… their ups ground rate is discounted 25%. buy $50… ups ground rates discounted by 50%. etc.
i can find few that offer that capability… and the few that do are going to cost us $40-100 per month, which is insane when we are talking about basic out of the box functionality that is present in other ecom platforms.
open to suggestions.
