BASE + WEIGHT SHIPPING BY ZIP CODE ZONE

The base plus weight module by ZIP code zone allows you to specify different shipping rates based on the method of shipping AND the weight of items AND the zip code in your country the item is being shipped to. This MIVA Merchant module evaluates the "ship to" zip code and displays its methods and rates applicable to the destination. This prevents customers from selecting its lower rates which may not be available for them. Not compatible with the current google checkout module as that module does not use the customer's address to select the shipping methods available.

You have two options for inputing zip codes into zones, thus allowing you to nearly duplicate common carrier tables. This decreases your reliability on their sometimes fragile server conditions.

• Option 1: In the Zone field, add the first three (3) numbers of each zip code you want to include in the zone separated by a | delimiter, e.g. 334|335|336
• Option 2: In the Zone field, add the first three (3) numbers of zip code ranges you want to include in the zone separated by a | delimiter, e.g. 334-336|362-369

You cannot mix options within a single zone, so you can use either option 1 or 2 but not both. You are not limited in the number of zip codes you include in each zone. You are also not limited on the number of methods you can have in this shipping module.
