Ships From - Shipping costs

Hi there

I made another post earlier about the Ships From Attributes.

But now I have another issue.

My store offers FREE SHIPPING. My store markups enough to cover any products that don't have free shipping as an option.

I started to use the Ships From attributes (renamed to Your Location), as I have noticed alot of customers would prefer to have items shipped from their country - so in the post I linked above, I was just noticing weird behaviour on a few products I tried this option on. This post is not about that.

When I reset one of my products I had two ship from locations. I also using Alidropship Shipping plugin to import paid shipping costs, so my customers have more options available to them with faster shipping.

The issue I have on one such product where I have done the ships from is the item cost and shipping costs are so very different.

The product Price is different:

Item Cost China is: $1.68 Cents US
Item Cost Australia is $0.54 Cents US

Shipping Cost are both very different.

Item Cost China Shipping: $0.91 US ( I can absorb this shipping cost due to my markup to still be able to allow free shipping)
Item Cost Australia Shipping $135.00 US - eek can't absorb this cost.

How can I work around this? Obviously, they have a choice to have the item come from China or Australia - but the shipping cost is not been reflected and I can't ship and $135 shipping cost for Free. I did contact the seller to see if they had made a mistake in their shipping costs. Because that price seems extreme for internal shipping within Australia,

I am going through all 150 of my products to do the whole Ship From - and I don't want to have to manually adjust pricing - as I like the price adjusting automatically when a supplier ups or lowers their prices. If I do it manually then I will always need to check these products to adjust myself all the time and I simply do not have the time.

Look forward to hearing some solutions on this.

Is not a mistake!! Alishipping add-on do exactly that ,copy the shipping option from aliexpress to your website..

Some products is free shipping in America and the same products is $100 in Australia,

The solution is easy...If you want to sell international forget free shipping (as different countries have different shipping price)

Or choose only one country to sell and the product you going to choose must be low shipping to this country
