    Default Shipping formula:Rate+TOTAL_WEIGHT*Weight_Rate+ITEMS*Item_R ate + SUM*Percent_Rate/10

    Hi,
    I am not sure someone made this shipping module.
    It is very nice as we are using X-Cart for the shipping calculator.

    We don't want to create the table rate for all different weight by using the Rate Tables. (say if buyer order from 0.1kg to 100,00kg, and we charge buyer for every 0.1kg, we need to create 100,000 x 10 different rate)
    it seems not make sense for us.....

    Is there any one can help?

    Shipping formula:
    SHIPPING = Rate + TOTAL_WEIGHT*Weight_Rate + ITEMS*Item_Rate + SUM* Percent_Rate/100

    Flat shipping charge:
    If you want the shipping charge to be a fixed value, enter the shipping charge amount into the "Flat" field.
    Charge as % of the Total Amount Ordered:
    If you want the shipping charges to be calculated as a percentage of the total amount of an order, enter the value into the "%" field.
    Flat Shipping Charge Per Item Ordered:
    If you want shipping costs to be calculated based on the number of items (quantity) purchased, enter the amount into the "Per Item" field.
    Flat Shipping Charge Based on Product Weight:
    If you want shipping costs to be calculated based on the weight of the products ordered, enter the amount into the "kg" field. This uses a flat shipping charge amount for each kg of the products ordered.


    We only need to tell:
    1. The FIX charge PER order.
    2. The charge PER item.
    3. The % of the total we mark up in the item price.
    4. The charge for EVERY kg.

    say, a buyer order 123kg, 10 items, total price is USD230

    and we :
    1. USD10
    2. USD0.1
    3. 5%
    4. USD18

    then we will charge buyer: USD10 + USD0.1x10 + USD230x1.05 + USD18 x 123kg
