Re: How to change shipping weight depending on item size?
****** message to minivend-users from Ryan Hertz <rhertz@gyb.baits.com> ******
There was a recent post to the list by Mike Heins, the skinny of the
message was that shipping "criterion can be more than just the products
database." Here's my take on that:
(example only, shipping.asc)
usps Mail [item-accessories size] 0 1000 5.95
This would set the shipping to $5.95 if size fell between 0 and 1000.

Vinyl, lovely. Must be as much fun as plastic bait.
