We are in UK online seller. This project is to fix the following issues on our magento ecommerce site. I am ready to award this project right now: This project is to fix these issues shipping charge for UK customers, we need two choices depending on size and weight depending what item they order. For few items we sell that is small and can go by by postal system for £4, but most items have to go by courier option, at £8. If customer buys small item, few small items few pieces he needs the shipping charge by post, but he can also choose courier option. if customer orders big item, he is forced only option is courier but for big item he can buy one piece with one piece shipping charge at courier £8 or several items still only one shipping charge at £8 The second issue is European customer and worldwide customer. When we sell to enduser outside of UK in Europe, they must pay our VAT.   If we sell to business in Europe (but not business in UK as if we sell to vat registered company in UK we must charge full vat) the EU customer must enter their VAT number Into magento site, and then they do not get charged the VAT by the magento system. When we sell to enduser outside of Europe, ie America or HK or Australia, any country outside of EU the system must not charge to them tax, regardless if they are end user or company. Now the final issues are the shipping charges for EU customers and shipping charges for outside of EU customers. The shipping charge varies depending on size and weight of what is ordered. If they order 1pc the shipping charge is one price, if they order 2pcs the shipping charge is higher. So we need to assign a shipping charge to each item if customer buys 1pc from inside Europe, and a different shipping price if customer in Australia, or HK or USA or any country outside of EU.  If the system can not handle this, maybe option is to change the system so if EU or Worldwide customer orders, they don't get final price but we get an email with ther order and we add international shipping and send to them revised invoice for them to check and pay. We spent a lot of money with this site but right now still we can not use it. This project is to resolve these issues and set it up so it is fully working. Our ecommerce site is [login to view URL] I am ready to award this project now, but don't type "I can do it" I want to read you understand all these points and tell me how you will fix these issues most online sellers face these exact same issues as they sell to local country and also to other country's and different tax issues so it must be common issue Please write back with full details, price, when you can start and timescale to implement. Thanks for your help, Simon

Well, There you presented 3 very common scenario / problems to solve. 1st and 3rd issue is shipping method related. and the second one is Tax class related. Solutions: For 1st and 3rd issues I'll make a custom Magento shipping module, where we will check all the mentioned conditions / criterial manualy into out module code. As I'll make the extension from scratch so I've total freedom. I can set any condtions. For each product's, There also will have an attribute named "Ship Cost", so, in case of shipping price calculation I can get total shipping cost easily. (more than 40% works of 1st and 3rd issues is already done, I did that for one of my other Magento project. I can send my customized extension, if u wish). For 2nd issue: For simplicity, I'll override existing tax class so that it can meet our target. I tried my best to explain the process, but I am not very good at this. Please let me know if you need anymore clarification. Thanks.

Hi Simon, Yes your requirement is very common, faced by every webshop in Eu and UK. Your requirement i will classify in 3 parts. 1) Shipping Rate Calcuation based on size & weight 2) VAT 21% 3) Shipping Charges based Customer Location 1) Shipping Rate Calcuation based on size & weight: In Magento we can vary shipping charges based on product weight and Location (source & desgination), there is no facility for size. You can calculate Dimensional weight in kg per package = Length x Height x Width in cm / 5,000 and if Dimensional weight exceeds Actual weight , then dimensional weight is considered. This can be customized through csv . 2) VAT 21% Question a) Do you also allow guest customers to shop on your website. b) Have you already implemented VAT validation in Customer Form. Solution : When customer registers in your website , there will be an extra field for VAT validation. so the customer now can be grouped based on Valid VAT , Invalid VAT , End User . Now these above groups can be sub grouped as Customer TAX Class to Customers-outsideUK-inEU, Customers-inUK, Customers-Outside-UK-outsideEU, which can be assigned based on the billing location of Customer entered in the registered form. Based on the tax class a customer falls , he will be charged 21% VAT. 3)Shipping Charges based Customer Location The charges in the first part , can be extended to add Same Customer Group that we have created.
