You can see my set up attached,
However the shipping is nowhere near what I have set up
Can someone help me troubleshoot this please?

Ok, I have set Australia wide shipping to be $9.95
I think you can see that in the image I have posted of my shipping rate
When I select a product the shipping is $25.80
I only have Aust Post as the shipping option...if you try to purchase a product you should get the same result...

Ok I think if you do the following it will solve your problem:
1) Log into Joomla
2) Go to Joomla Extension
3) On the left select Store -> Shipping Module List
4) Select AusPost -> "Configure Ship Method"
5) Change the value of "Packing and Handling Fee"
If all went well, then your shipping fee would be correct.
Please just read the Info Message next to the Text Box, it says the following:
"This is your fee for packaging and handling, and is added to the delivery cost returned by auspost"
Hope this helps

Ok great,
That worked, except now the shipping is coming in at AUD$5.80 when it should be $9.95?

That might be related to tax calculation.
Create a new tax code for 0% tax and assign that tax to the shipping rate and see if it changed?
1) In VirtueMart select Tax -> Add Tax Rate -> Add the Tax with 0%
2) Go to Shipping -> Shipping Rates
3) Select the Shipping method and change to the 0% Tax
Maybe this would work.

Unfortunately it didn't change it?

What about the Currency?
Is the currency type the same in the Shipping as well as in the product?
Can you please take a screen shot of what you are experiencing?

All of the currencies are in AUD dollars, this is the product price and in the shipping rates...HOWEVER, I did change my shipping rate for the Australia wide shipping (the image I attached in the beginning) to a different number and the shipping of $5.80 is still applying...so my shipping rates are not actually working..
maybe I don't have the zip codes and weights configure correctly?
I have added a weight of one pound to all my products to give them some weight...perhaps this is the problem?

I am not sure if that Shipping module automatically calculates according to weight.
Can you please give a screen shot of where you see the $5.80 value?

Hi Snowball
If you are using a flat rate for the weight
IN the shipping rates module put a min weight of 0 and max of 9999999999
I just tried this and by doing so this assigns the fee you set to any weight of product but if your max weight is less than the weight on the product detail it will be "helpful" and charge more shipping.
Try that

How about this... Its a bit dirty but maybe it would work for you..
1) Make the shipping rate $12.2
2) Check out a product and see if the shipping rate is $9
make sure to check for 1 product and multiple products.

Hi There,
Changing the shipping to a different price doesn't matter at all...it still is $5.80?
This is driving me nuts...where is it getting this value from??

Australia Post: AUD$10.30 (2 kg)
So I am looking to apply a flat rate of $9.95 for any number of products...
Can someone please help me achieve this?

Here is another problem,
I just tested being a customer from America, and of course I am getting the same shipping fee as Australia.
Why is this so difficult to work out ?

Hi,
I think I figured out why your shipping price is showing different prices.
I took a look at the code for the "auspost" and notice a comment inside that says the following:
"* This class will charge a shipping rate determined by passing parameters to
* Australia Post eDeliver Calculator located at http://drc.edeliver.com.au/"
I think that VirtueMart automatically goes to the Australian Post service and calculates the shipping for you.
If you want to enter a custom shipping rate then you are going to have to use the "Standard Shipping Module" in the "Store -> Shipping Module List".
Hope this helps you

Great, thank you, that has made the cost work great.
Now what do I need to use to get a different price to deliver OS?

Gosh so all along all I need to do was change my shipping module to the Standard Shipping Module rather than the Australian Post module I had initially
Thanks so much for your patience with this!

Great Expert thank you very much
No Problem man, Just glad I could help.
Can you please explain what you are doing and what the results are that you expect?
For example:
1) What do you set the shipping to
2) How is it currently displayed?
