    Default Can I set up shipping for a base rate plus reduced cost on additional items?

    Hi There

    In my searches of the forum I have been unable to find info on the following:

    I have items for sale which are categorised firstly by colour, then they are broken down into size L,XL and XXL. I have linked them using the attributes controller, optin name and values.
    My issue is that I have postage of €15 for the first item. once the purchaser buys more than 1 we drop the postage rate to €7.50 for each additional item.
    Example:
    1 jersey costs €60 with postage of €15 total = €75.
    if my buyers wnat to get 2 jerseys it is then going to be €120 for the jerseys €15 for the first one and €7.50 for the second making a total bill to the buyer of €142.50.

    Am I making a very big mess of this or is there a better way of organising this?

    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    I have Zen Cart 1.3.8a installed
