I'm trying to evaluate this program and finding the shipping difficult especially with the preview of the cart not being functional. I've read through most of the forum but am still confused.

I don't want to purchase the Pro as our Club site has <20 items to sell.
If I put a price in the 'shipping per product', it changes when I add a new product and shipping cost.
None of the multi options are really suitable.

Can anyone help me with how to to do the following.
Item A - cost $10 + p&h $2 = $12 total
Item B - cost $22 + p&h $4 = $26 total etc.

Not sure if this will help explain

If you set the default postage to a set figure (ie $2.00) this amount is added ONCE even if you add more items so ten items total postage $2.00

Now for product 1 you have the option to add a delivery charge in the product page as required ($3.00) so the total postage + packing = $5.00

At the checkout you can select 3 postal options with various methods of adding them so for instance

ADD OPTION

1 no additional charge $0.00
2 recorded post $5.00
3 special delivery insured $10.00

1 of the above is added to your default charge of $2.00 & if you have added delivery in the product that will appear in the cart as well

Your cart will now display postage (selected 2 above) postage $7.00
.......................................................................................Packing.$3.00
.......................................................................................Total......$10.00
