    Add a Handling Charge or Shipping Surcharge

    I have a category of products that need to incur a flat handling charge if they're shipped to certain states. Is there a module that can do this? Or how could I do this?

    A shipping module like the Emporium Plus "Shipping by Product by Zip Code Zone" won't quite work because I still need our other shipping modules to be available during checkout.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    Miva has a built in handling charge under shipping rules, but it does not have the restrictions you need. Because you need both product restrictions and state restrictions your best bet is to use toolkit's upcharge function along with some template logic to only apply the upcharge if the right products are in the cart and the they are shipping to one of the qualifying states.

      You can accomplish the same thing and have a user interface in admin to do it with using the Misc. Fee module from Emporium Plus:

        Thanks for the replies. I don't think Misc Fee module will do because of the state restrictions we need. Toolkit I have. I'll look into the upcharge function of that.

          Mark, I have a small utility module that can handle that type of logic. You can drop me a line by email to discuss it.

            Misc Fee has the ability to manage states. From the admin screen:

            * You can include specific locations by starting the line with a +
            * You can exclude specific locations by starting the line with a -
            * Use the location code for states and countries, e.g. FL and US respectively
            * You can enter a string of codes up to 254 characters, each code separated with a | and the line ending with a |
            * Example: +US|CA|MX| will apply the fee for USA, Canada, and Mexico only
            * Example: -FL|GA|MS|AL| will NOT apply the fee for Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, and Alabama but will apply it for all other locations unless excluded or included in the other location options
            * You can combine location options, e.g. just US but not the states FL and GA
            * You can restrict the fee to only a specific attribute, e.g. Version|4.14 would be attribute Version and option 4.14
            It costs less than the time it takes to figure out the SMT. And then maintain it.

              The miscellaneous fee module can handle country, state and/or zip restrictions. So a specific fee might only be applied to the state of FL for products A, B and C. You can have multiple fees. So a different restriction could use a different fee to be applied.

                Sage words! Thanks for clarifying for me, I do appreciate it. I'll try that module.
