    Default Setting up fixed shipping costs

    Most of the items are sell are about the same weight. A formula that has worked well for me in the past is $3.50 for the first item and $1.50 for each additional item. This almost always covers first class postage plus insurance costs. What would be the easiest way to set up this kind of shipping calculation in zencart?

    Thanks for the quick response. Is this the module you are talking about? Since I'm so new at this, I'd like to be sure before I install it

    Thanks for your help. I followed your suggestions and the shipping cost is now calculated correctly. I did notice that after I put things in the shopping cart, a link to "checkout" and "shopping cart" appeared at the top left of the window, just above my store logo. How can I get those things to shift to the right (but remain on the same horizontal level)?
