    Hello,

    I’m attempting to setup shipping methods for my WooCom store. Our supplier has flat rate priority shipping, but the price varies depending on number and quantity. For example:

    Product Type 	                       1st item 	Additional
T-Shirts, Bags, Phone Cases, Beanies   $5.50    	$0.75
Sweatshirts 	                       $8.00 	        $1.00
Brimmed Hats 	                       $6.50 	        $1.00
Posters 	                       $8.00 	        $0.00
Sunglasses 	                       $5.50 	        $1.00
Mugs 	                               $7.00 	        $5.00

Additionally, if they purchase only one t-shirt or one sun glasses, it can be shipped first class for $3.50.

    To further complicate this, Separate line items must be shipped differently except for sweatshirts which can be shipped with the t-shirt line, but then it’s the sweatshirt price first + additional for whatever.

    I’ve tried figuring out how to configure flat rate shipping, but I’m at a loss for how I would properly calculate this. I’ve read through several tutorials and they are either limited or out of date. Any help would be DEEPLY appreciated as this is the last step I need to get my store up and running.

    Just to clarify, I’d like to do something like this…

    Set “t-shirt” class to:

    if [qty] = 1 then .75 | if [qty] > 1 then 1.75 + ( .75 * [qty] )

    Base shipping cost of 2.75.

    So, if the quantity = 1 then it’ll cost $0.75 + a base of $2.75 equaling $3.50. If quantity = more than 1, then base price of $1.75 plus $0.75 per item.

    The base price would get me to $5.50 then .75 more for each additional item. Is there a way to do something like this?

    If it’s varied or conditional, its not really a ‘flat’ rate.. you may need something more complex like table rate shipping.

    Flat rate can handle order cost, per item cost, and costs per shipping class. Anymore more than that, look elsewhere.

    Hello Mike,
    Did you mean that if I use flat rate shipping on variable products that the shipping class would not be calculated? That’s the issue now I got and want to know how to resolve.

    If this is your meaning, why it works on Woocommerce 2.3 previous version? It’s seems like update to Woocommerce 2.4, it doesn’t work.

    Thanks!
    Hanson
