I have complex requirement on calculating shipping charges based on the destination country and total amount.

For ex:

0-20 US $5
21-40 US $10
41-60 US $15
60-80 US $17
80-100 US $19
---

Similar to this, we have charges for Canada and Mexico.
Is there any way that I can call a PHP function(which will retrieve shipping charge from cck or a custom table) by providing two parameters (Country and total amount)?

I tried with conditional actions, but because i have too many rules it gets bigger and bigger and cumbersome.

Thanks,

There are three ways to do this in Ubercart:

1) Use the built-in Conditional Actions to check both the order total and destination country, selecting an appropriate rate for each combination.

2) Write a custom Conditional Action with PHP to do this. Useful for more complex conditions.

3) Write a custom shipping module. It is very easy to take uc_flatrate as a template for your own shipping module, then modify it to perform whatever calculations you desire.

I also needed to create a custom shipping module. This site helped me so I thought I would pass it on.
