Spree Postal Service

A postal service is delivers based on weight only(*). Like most post services in Europe will.

This Spree extension adds a spree-calculator to model this.

Other features:

• Size and weight restrictions can be specified.
• You specify a weight/price table.
• Handling fee may be added ( with a maximum when it won't be applied anymore).
• Multi-parcel shipments are automatically created.
• You can specify a maximum order price, orders over this will not be charged.

Off course this relies on your weight data to be correct (and if you want the restrictions to work, the size data too). Use the same measurements as in the product info page.

(*) You may install several ShippingMethods for (usually) different countries.

Usage

Add to your Gemfile:

gem 'spree_postal_service', github: 'futhr/spree-postal-service', branch: 'master'

Go to admin interface:

http://localhost:3000/admin/shipping_methods/new

and use Postal Service as calculator.

The size/weight table must have the same amount of (space separated) entries.

Example

With the default settings (measurements in kg and cm):

• Max weight of one item: 18

• Handling fee: 10
• Amount, over which handling fee won't be applied: 50
