GBFans Shop - More Accurate Shipping Charges.

·October 3, 2010· 1 min read

I just got done re-writing the shipping calculation tool in the GBFans Shop to more accurately calcuate shipping charges for heavy priority mail packages. I noticed with the heavy Ghost Trap packages, there were some extreme variations in the prices charged via priority mail compared to the actual rate. As it turns out this was due to the priority mail's usage of different zones. Prices vary based on weight and distance being sent, unlike First Class and International packages which depend solely on weight.

The new system accurately estimates the package weight, and determines the costs based on zones and location. I have already tested it out and find it to function as expected. This will no doubt save everyone a few dollars in the future on very large orders.
