The Weight is Finally Over!
Our Simple Shipping solution is a great way to easily get your product up for sale, with little effort spent on shipping prices. But what if you want to fine tune the price of shipping? That's where our new Weighted Shipping app comes into play. With Weighted Shipping, you can assign a specific weight to each type of product in your store, and then set prices across multiple weight tiers & methods. It's perfect for fans that check out with a lot of products at once, because you can factor in as many price breaks as you'd like. With Simple Shipping, there's only one price break.
Packaging Weight
To tune your shipping prices even further, you can optionally set a packaging weight. Then, if someone buys 3 LPs from you, they only pay for the packing material weight once. If you had factored that weight into the weight of the LP, then they'd be paying that weight 3 times.
Setting Lower & Upper Bound Limits
You can optionally limit a method by weight, if you set the upper bound limit, and then create a new method that has the lower bound limit, right above the other method's upper bound limit. Works great for USPS Standard and Priority Shipping.
