Hi,

I want to create shipping rule(s) that, depending on the total weight of the order, it will activate a different flat rate charge.
I added the weight field to the product and I already created various shipping rules depending on the total amount of the cart / destination to provide free shipping.

What I cannot find out is how I can sum up the weight field of all products inside a rules condition

i.e.
Total order > 100$ && destination X => free (done)
Total order < 60$ && destination Y => 5$ (done)
...
Total order < 100$ && destination X && Total weight > 10 Kg => 10$ shipping (???)
Total order < 60$ && destination Y && Total weight > 5 Kg => 5$ shipping (???)
...

Thanks in advance,
Regards
DImitris

I would use code and a custom shipping method, but that's just me.

It might be possible with Rules, I wouldn't know how to do it though.

For help on using rules, please go to the rules documentation/issue queue/etc.

Thanks for the help!

using this thread (http://drupal.org/node/1214378)
I created a custom module that provides a new rule (total weight) with an option to compare it with a number.

This way, you can create a shipping rule that takes the total order weight into account.

the code is in github (in case anyone cares)

Best,
Dimitris

Thanks for this Dimitris, is there any way to expose the total weight so that it can be used in actions (ie. to calculate a rate based on the total weight)?

Thank you, (jimkont/Dimitris) custom module that provides a new rule worked for me. I still have some other work around it but you helped solve a major major head-ache. Thanks!
