Ok, I'm completely new with this Drupal thing. I'm sure there's a better place to post this question, but I'll be darned if I can figure out where that is, so bear with me.
Basically, I'm trying to set up an ecommerce site. I've been playing around a bit and have several issues I'm trying to sort out, but the main one revolves around ecommerce shipping. I installed the ecommerce module and have been playing around with it, and so far I'm quite impressed, but in all the tests I've ran, shipping is not calculated.
As I'm going through a dropshipper, I don't have any account with UPS to autocalculate shipping, and there are no options for the weight of the products. To top it off, I have a $2 handling charge per item from the drop shipper, and I really don't want to inflate product prices to include that.
So, what I really need is some basic shipping functionality where I can set estimated prices according to weight, and have the handling surcharge tacked onto that and displayed as a total shipping and handling charge. How on earth do I do that? I have some limited PHP programming experience, and although I'd rather not, I'd be willing to modify some module or another to hack in this functionality. Frankly, Drupal is so complicated that I'm not sure where to start poking.
So, any links to the right place to ask this, some tips on where I should try hacking this
