Shipping Cost higher for some items only

[fw541c]

i am trying to setup a shipping for a new product i have on my site but i need the shipping to be a lot higher for this item due to its weight. I will be adding more items like this in the future so i want to know if there is a way to have my items that weigh a lot more cost more to ship without it affecting my zone shipping rates?

hmm...your zone shipping module is working great except it can not detect those special items, which are heavy.

So I suggest you to make some changes to the existing zone module to do the following:
1. find if cart products has special items
2. if yes, add cost to current shipping rate (define you logic here)
3. total shipping cost is the normal zone rate + special items shipping cost

can you DIY on this?

im still at a loss. so i need to download an addon to accomplish this?

ok so i did the per unit shipping module but when i do that it shows up as " BEST WAY " in the shipping section and its displaying that method for all other products with a way increased shipping rate. Any ideas how to fix this?

But also i need it setup so that if someone outside the US tries to order it will be a different price. This is getting confusing for me.
