$8 Flat rate for Canada/USA; $20 for all other countries

Would anyone be able to please help me set this up? I have the $8/Can-USA working just fine. I can't seem to get the $20 rate to kick in when orders come in from places like UK or Australia.
Thx,
Pete

create a shipping rule as:

Triggers:
Session Variable exists "eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_country"

AND
Based on session variable Value:
If the Session variable "eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_country" is "!=" a value of "US"

AND
Based on session variable Value:
If the Session variable "eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_country" is "!=" a value of "CA"


Calculation:
Flat Rate Shipping of "20"

Thanks Jason,

Should it be OR us/ca? The condition couldn't be that a buyer would be from both countries, right?

Need some more assistance on the shipping ($8 Can/US and $20 others, etc)

Hi again Jason,

I fear that my client's needs are a bit more complex. Here's the summary of what shipping requirements I need:

If a customer buys $100.00 or more, there is no charge for shipping. Otherwise shipping is $20.00 unless they are from Canada or the US in which case shipping is $8.00.

Firing up my trusty eCart interface, I have the following conditions in one rule:

Total Number of Items >0;
AND SubTotal of Items >= $100.00
AND If Session Variable Exists: eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_country
OR Based on session variable value: eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_country = CA
OR Based on session variable value: eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_country = US

The calculation is Flat Rate = $8

So, Canadians and Americans are now paying $8; while anyone else is not being charged shipping. Do I need a second rule here somewhere?

Thanks,
Pete

yes, you need another rule to charge 20.00 for everyone else:

Total Number of Items >0;
AND SubTotal of Items >= $100.00
AND If Session Variable Exists: eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_country
OR Based on session variable value: eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_country != CA
OR Based on session variable value: eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_country != US

The calculation is Flat Rate = $20

Hmmm.... Now everyone is being charged $28 for shipping even if the cart is over $100.00.

I made a couple of changes because the logic didn't deal with the free shipping well. So my first rule (Canada/US Flat Rate $8 with Free Shipping Over $100) is:

Total Number of Items >0;
AND SubTotal of Items <=$99.99 (changed from >= $100.00)
AND If Session Variable Exists: eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_country
OR Based on session variable value: eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_country = CA
OR Based on session variable value: eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_country = US

The calculation is Flat Rate = $8

The second rule ($20 for all but CA or US) is:

Total Number of Items >0;
AND SubTotal of Items <= $99.99
AND If Session Variable Exists: eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_country
OR Based on session variable value: eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_country != CA
OR Based on session variable value: eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_country != US

The calculation is Flat Rate = $20

I wonder if I need a third rule to deal with the free shipping and then the $8 and $20 rules can be a bit simpler?

try this for the rules:

Total Number of Items >0;
AND SubTotal of Items <=$99.99 (changed from >= $100.00)
AND If Session Variable Exists: eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_country
AND Custom Condition:
(($_SESSION['eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_country'] == "US") || ($_SESSION['eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_country'] == "CA"))


The calculation is Flat Rate = $8

The second rule ($20 for all but CA or US) is:

Total Number of Items >0;
AND SubTotal of Items <= $99.99
AND If Session Variable Exists: eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_country
AND Custom Condition:
(($_SESSION['eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_country'] != "US") && ($_SESSION['eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_country'] != "CA"))

The calculation is Flat Rate = $20
