Seperated shipping costs for products/zone and free post for addtioinal items

[ghoulish]

I need help with this if someone can please

i have a store set up where i sell 3 different types of items and i ship them overseas.

what i'm needing to achieve is to have seperate shipping costs for each of my 3 items, but also seperate charges depending on where in the world i send the order, but i also want them only to be charged for whichever item has the highest postage charge as addtional items will be sent all in one package with no extra charge.

say for example

product 1 is $9.00 shipping locally but $18.00 to U.S.
Product 2 is $15.oo locally and 28.00 to U.S

if a customer where to buy both items the postage needs to be charged as follows.

locally $15.oo
U.S $28.00

The best solution is probably the commercially available Advanced Shipper from ceon.net

The alternative is to start cloning existing modules - there's plenty of discussions on how to do that on the forum.
