Hi Racke,

Maybe but would it sometimes work if that was the case, I find that for some
shipping methods it gives the correct amount for others it doesn't. It may not
be specifically linked to a shipping method but be something to do with the
value of the shipping.

What I am actually trying to do is get [total-cost] with two decimal places
only, [total-cost noformat=1] is returning about 6 decimal places. Can you
suggest another method to achieve this that will work reliably?

Thanks,
Andy.
