 * Hi –
 * I have a few questions around shipping. So I have set up a shipping zone for 
   the U.S., and within that zone I have set up a Flat Rate shipping method – $5
   for every order. However, I have a particular product that I would like to charge
   a different shipping charge; it’s a pretty small item so I don’t want to charge
   people $5 for shipping it. I’d like to charge $2.50. I’ve tried to create a shipping
   class for this and have assigned the product to this shipping class, but am seeing
   that the shipping charge comes out to the $2.50 plus the $5 flat rate – so $7.50.
   Is there a way I can charge $5 for all orders, but charge only $2.50 for a specific
   product ONLY IF A CUSTOMER JUST ORDERS THAT PRODUCT?
 * So if a customer orders Product A, they get charged the flat rate of 5$; if they
   order Product A and B (and B happens to be the small item), they get charged 
   $5; if they ONLY order Product B, they get charged $2.50 rather than the flat
   rate of $5.
 * Is this possible?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fshipping-options-issue%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi [@jcostas81](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jcostas81/),
 * With Flat Rate I believe you’ll want to remove the base cost and only use shipping
   classes to setup rates.

 * Otherwise, the shipping class costs are added in addition to the base Flat Rate
   charge. You could make this simpler as well and just set the base cost to $2.50
   and then use one shipping class for all your normal products. That class charges
   another $2.50. That way if they order normal products they’d get a $5 total charge,
   then if they order the small item it’s only $2.50. Doing it that way just uses
   one class instead of two.
 * Just to be sure to set the last option, Calculation type, appropriately as well
   for your store.
