If you want to set the shipping per item, you can do that with the:
Per Unit perweightunit

In the Configuration ... Shipping/Packaging ... set the Maximum Weight to: 5000 and the Tare Rates both to 0:0 ...

Now, you can set the Product Weight to be the amount to charge for each Product ... then set the Per Unit rate to 1.00 and the shipping charges with be the:
products_weight * quantity

for each Product ...

ok I set it to the 5000 tare 0:0 now do I enter the amount to charge in
Larger packages - added packaging percentage:weight 10:0

or do you mean to set those in the shipping modules

I think I found where you mean: per unit weight in shipping modules--I need to install this, enter the info you mentioned

so I will have these modules turned on?

Set both of the Small/Medium and the Large Tare Rates to 0:0 ...

In the Modules ... Shipping ... install the Per Unit perweightunit shipping module ...

Now, go to your Products and set the shipping charge for the Products in the Product Weight ... so if you want to charge 2.99 for a Product, then set the Product Weight to 2.99 ...

Now, that Product will ship for 2.99 x quantity in the cart with the Per Unit perunitweight shipping module ...

ok, I go to the product description page in admin>>scroll down to the "Products Shipping Weight" and enter the actual price she has listed example 12.95 ?

then she will need to do that with all her products by entering their price in the weight area....or you mean to write in the price of the ups charge in there

[Ajeh]

Yes, if that Product ships for $12.95 enter the Product Weight as 12.95 ...

Now, when you add it to cart the shipping will be:
Qty 1 12.95
Qty 2 25.90
Qty 3 38.85
etc. etc. etc.

Read post #27 very carefully ...

I am reading back through the thread and I do not think we are on the same page ...

Are you trying to set shipping based on:

1 a unique shipping cost per item ...

2 a shipping cost based on the number of items in the cart ...

3 charge for ranges of items in the cart ...

based on the amount of items in the order at the time is what I understand she wants

Do you want to charge:
Qty * Rate = Shipping Cost
