Geo can be grouped by areas. so you would first query the Area that
includes the zipcode the marshal all the geos then look uip the cost for
each cost for each Geo to give you a range.
it been a while since I did it so don't remember the exact structure.

I supplier ships to customers based on their zip code and weight. They use
a table like this for zip code:
*ZIP Code Prefix* *Zone* *ZIP Code Prefix* *Zone* *ZIP Code Prefix* *Zone*
*ZIP Code Prefix* *Zone* 005 4 349 6 496..497 3 716..722 5 006..009 8
350..352 4 498..509 4 723..725 4 010..013 4 354 5 510..513 5 726..731 5
014..034 5 355..359 4 514 4 733 6 035..037 4 360..361 5 515..516 5 734..741
5
Etc...
And their shipping rates/pound look like this:
Weight Postal Zone (lbs) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 $5.65 $5.65 $5.65 $5.65
$5.65 $5.65 $5.65 $5.65 2 $5.65 $5.65 $5.90 $6.55 $8.05 $8.40 $8.75 $9.30
3 $6.25 $6.25 $7.10 $8.10 $9.40 $10.15 $10.65 $11.40 4 $6.95 $6.95 $8.10
$9.10 $10.55 $11.55 $12.25 $13.30 5 $7.80 $7.80 $9.30 $10.35 $11.55 $12.40
$13.05 $14.20
Etc...
I wanted to see if I could setup shipping rules to accurately emulate the
above in OFBiz, but I was unable to figure out where I could place "ranges"
of zip codes in ofbiz. I first thought that it would be possible to use
something like this:
<QuantityBreak quantityBreakId="90001" quantityBreakTypeId="SHIP_WEIGHT"
fromQuantity="0.00" thruQuantity="1.0"/>
<QuantityBreak quantityBreakId="90102" quantityBreakTypeId="SHIP_WEIGHT"
fromQuantity="1.01" thruQuantity="2.0"/>
<ShipmentCostEstimate shipmentCostEstimateId="USPS_STA10001"
carrierPartyId="USPS" carrierRoleTypeId="CARRIER" productStoreId="9000"
"productStoreShipMethId="9004" orderFlatPrice="5.65"
orderPricePercent="0.0" geoIdFrom="00500" geoIdTo="00599"
shipmentMethodTypeId="STANDARD" weightBreakId="90001"/>
<ShipmentCostEstimate shipmentCostEstimateId="USPS_STA10002"
carrierPartyId="USPS" carrierRoleTypeId="CARRIER" productStoreId="9000"
productStoreShipMethId="9004" orderFlatPrice="6.55"
orderPricePercent="0.0" geoIdFrom="00500" geoIdTo="00599"
shipmentMethodTypeId="STANDARD" weightBreakId="90102"/>
But then I soon learned that "geoIdFrom" and "geoIdTo" were actual, exact
FROM/TO zip codes, and not RANGES, which I initially tried.
So I ask: Is it possible to setup shipping rules based on RANGES of ZIP
codes? How would you do it?
I already know that I can use USPS to lookups, but I wanted to EXACTLY
duplicate the shipping rates that the supplier uses, then add my own markup
as I see fit.
Thanks
Mike
