Dave – if you do decide to downgrade, you could try this tool; http://www.clubosc.com/downgrade-oscommerce-3-to-2-x.html I don't the address of your v3 shop so cannot tell how long the design would take to port back to 2.x but it might work out cheaper than getting a couple of modules built.

Dave – hi. Where does it say to use 3a5 ? If that's the case then it needs changing.

No developer is actively working on v3 modules as far as I know, as it is well known that it is Alpha so a lot of things are likely to change before release.

It should not be too hard to take a 2.x module and port it to 3. Just a case of looking at the existing 3 modules for guidance.

If you want a developer on it, expect to pay a relatively high amount.

This is probably not quite the right place for this but…

For good or bad, I took the advice on the osC website at face value – the bit that says that V3,0A5 is what you should use for new installations. I've spent some months customising it and really, really don't want to have to go back to V2 at this point. However, I've got the shipping module blues so: have you had any experience with V3 shipping modules? I specifically need UK shipping. Now there's a pair of V2 modules for this and I'm staring the task of converting them in the face. If it comes down to that, so be it. Anyway, any comments/advice/module templates? )

Order 30 basketballs, can only put 24 in one box have to put 6 in another, how does that effect shipping. Is there a way with osCommerce to ship by weight as an option? So that the company can simply ship by the weight of each basketball like so:

30 x basketball @ 15.6 oz each = Total basketball weight is 29.52 Lbs.
$cost per lb. x 29.52 = $total shipping cost

Is there an option like this available with osCommerce?

Thank you for any help you can give me…
