Mixed category shipping calculation

Thanks Ajeh.
I don't know much coding. What would it cost to have someone write a custom shipping module?

I was wondering if I could maybe clone the item module for each product group requiring a specific calculation, and then use the master id's to specify which item module to use. Would that work for combining shipping cost totals?

Let's break this into steps ...

First, let's identify the 3 Product groups:
Books
Postcards
Prints

How on your site, can these be identified?

Perhaps an url to your site would be helpful to see if what you are explaining in the identity of these Product groups is what I am specifically asking for ...

On your Postcard shipping, you have a logical progression for:

Postcards Zone 1 are:
1 - 10 = 2.75
11 - 20 = 3.40
21 - 30 = 4.05
etc.

of adding $0.65 per 10 additional cards ...

But I am not finding anything logical about Zone 2:

postcards Zone 2 are:
1 - 10 = 4.60
11 - 20 = 5.84
21 - 30 = 7.57
etc

That can be adjusted to a standard sequence. Would that be throwing off the cart calculations?
Any other observations/suggestions on how I might set-up the shipping?

Have a standard calculation makes this a lot easier to clone for each zone ...

What is the 3rd calculation for the Prints?

I have the other two worked out, but it would help to have the calculation for the Prints so that I can give you a complete shipping fix ...
