One of my clients ship 90% of their product from their suppliers as drop-ship orders. As such, the origin point for shipping varies from item to item.

Needless to say, ProductCart is set up to calculate shipping from a specific origin which means that there is no practical way to calculate shipping from the supplier to the customer.

Do other merchants have such a situation? How did you deal with it.

Hi Greg,

Check it out! We have just released an Add-on which allows you to calculate shipping from the drop shipper's location.

You can find it by going to this page: http://wiki.earlyimpact.com/widgets/thirdparty/calculate_shipping_from_drop_shipper - http://wiki.earlyimpact.com/widgets/thirdparty/calculate_shipping_from_drop_shipper . There is an example here and quite a bit of information. It is available for all builds, version 3.51 and above.

See EI's blog piece about it here: http://blog.earlyimpact.com/2010/04/calculating-shipping-charges-when.html - http://blog.earlyimpact.com/2010/04/calculating-shipping-charges-when.html .
