thanks for the reply ewaite.

All the other products have been set up using a flat rate, but there are a few (3 in all) different rates for just a few items.

I set up a special S&I attribute with the 3 new prices listed but don't want them as an option.

I have the attribute name as a read only saying special shipping and insurance cost and have also added in the product description that this cost exists.

But when I add the attribute it says choose one (even tho there is only one listed and no checkmark or anything to allow them to choose).

What I'm trying to figure out is how to do the following, shown in bold, taken from the directions and reposted in these forums, but never really spelled out:


Depending on what you want to do with attributes there are several methods to price, add weight, sort order, and mark the type of attribute this is.

Price can be entered with a prefix of + or - or blank

+ and blank will add the attribute price <--this but not as an option?
- will subtract the attribute price

Weight can be entered optionally if it effects the product weight with a prefix of + or - or blank

+ and blank will add the attribute weight
- will subtract the attribute weight

There are other pricing options also available besides the standard prices.

One Time Charge <-- or this again not as an option?
Price Factor
One Time Charge Price Factor
Attirbute Qty Price
One Time Attribute Qty Price
I think doing either of the above in bold would work, but haven&#39;t figured how to add it and have it show as special shipping and insurance cost.

I hope someone have actually used this because as I noted I&#39;ve seen this statement made numerous times, but not how to actually do it.

So yeah, any help or shove in the right direction will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again
