shipping problem

[Troy Babcock <troy@sbmedia.com>]

Hello all,

Here is the situation:

I am using custom shipping and pricebreaks. The custom shipping is
calculated as 7% of the total cost of the cart. This works fine except
when the shopper has purchased enough items to incur a pricebreak; at
which point the pricebreak is applied to the price of the items but not
to the shipping calculation. For example:

Say an item costs $10.00/per but is discounted to $8.00/per when three
or more are purchased. Say three of this item are purchased. My cart
would charge $24.00 for the items, but instead of the expected shipping
charge of .07 x $24.00 = $1.68 it would charge, .07 * $30.00 = $2.10.

Does anyone know why this is happening? I have included the actual
shipping file to the bottom of this message.

I remember reading of this problem on this list a while back but the
searchable mail list feature on the MV homepage is not working correctly
right now. It searches and gives results but when I go to read any
specific message a blank HTML page is returned with bullet points.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. 

I am using minivend 3.12 on RedHat.

Thanks, T.
