 * Hi,
 * I’m trying to find the best way to ship spare parts worlwide on my Woocommerce
   webshop.
 * All spare parts have different sizes and weight, which complicates the task.
   
   Can anyone think of a good solution to manage this kind of shipping?
 * Note: I do not have the weight of all parts.
 * I could establish a flat rate by dividing the products into classes but it does
   not seem it is the right solution because there are heavy parts and others that
   are very light.
 * This may sound dumb but on most ecommerce platforms, how does it work? Does someone
   process each part as orders arrive?
 * Thank you very much for your help and time!
 * Best regards,
 * Bertrand

 * Hi there,
 * A great deal depends in where your store is located and what shipping services
   are available locally. For the most part, stores add weight/dimensions to their
   products and then have the shipping calculated automatically through UPS, USPS,
   FedEx, Royal Mail, Australia Post, NZ Post etc.

 * Hi,
 * Thanks a lot for your answer!
 * I have never worked on a e-commerce before and I see that it is not easy task
   to understand the basic operating principles of shipping.
 * Woocommerce recommends me this extension: [https://woocommerce.com/products/table-rate-shipping/](https://woocommerce.com/products/table-rate-shipping/)
 * But you are right I think that I’ll do better contacting the available local 
   shipping service and see what they can do.
 * Thanks again for your help!
 * Regards,
    Bertrand
