SHIPPING

Shipping is calculated according to one of the following methods. 

Method: Custom shipping table (based on shipping country and item weight)

You have 2 tables that must be filled 

1. a weight-levels table 

format = level;from;to

here you will set something like

-----------------------

1;0.00;10.00
2;10.01;25.00
3;25.01;50.00
4;50.01;9999999

-----------------------

In the example above you have set 4 levels. level 1 goes from 0 up to 10 (Kg/Lb/g/oz), level 2 from 10.01 tp 25, and so on. This is important to make the country table work

2. a country table

format = country;cost_level1;cost_level2;cost_level3;cost_level4;

In this example you have 4 weight levels, so your country costs will have 4 levels:

-----------------------

Argentina;5.00;10.00;12.00;13.00
Aruba;7.00;10.00;15.00;25.00
Australia;5.00;10.00;12.00;13.00

-----------------------

If the shipping country is "Argentina" and the total order-weight is 15Kg, level 2 will be used (10 to 25 Kg) and the shipping cost will be 10.00

Other methods are ...
