I was wondering if anyone has tackled these additional surcharges with interchange. Right now I have
been adding (@@TOTAL@@ * .025) in the additional shipping calculation to cover the ground surcharge
and (@@TOTAL@@ * .095) to handle air and international surcharges, but there is also an extended
area surcharge overseas and in Canada which is basically another fuel charge once your package gets
into that country based on if your package is going to a major city or if it's headed to some small
town out in the middle of nowhere. I can't just charge everyone the surcharge because it sometimes
adds up to an additional $20 to the shipping price depending on where it's being sent. In major
cities there isn't a surcharge. So has anyone tackled this problem yet or will we be stuck with the
daunting task of creating zone lookup charts for each country with the shipping to reflect the
extended area surcharges.


Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
