Custom Katana and Shipping Module

Hi everyone!

I'm in a good mood because after 2 weeks of trying to get the new shipping module to work in EVERY situation it should I am pleased to say that it is now 100% operational!

Because SBG has several different shipping rates - for example, across the board free shipping in the USA, some free shipping in Canada and some at $30 per sword, and then international shipping from locations in the USA and Canada, the system had a lot of trouble adapting to our unique shipping cost needs.

But now, you don't even have to think about it - if an item cannot be shipped to your destination, it won't let you accidently order it and will display a message telling you as such, otherwise - it just calculates the shipping based on where you are and what you are ordering, just the way it SHOULD be (but anyone who has worked with computers for a bit will know getting a computer to do something the way it SHOULD be is like pulling teeth!).

Anyhow, I'm really glad this is working properly now - and none too soon either. Because the other reason I am in a good mood is because batch 19 of the custom Katana is about to open orders within the next 24 hours!

With new options, new tsuba and lots of people waiting in the wings to get their order in, it's all very exciting - read about it on our dedicated Custom Katana Blog here

Thanks all! As we are really about to go into "custom Katana mode" please be sure to visit the other blog frequently because it is where all of the real action will be over the next couple of weeks or so.
