    help question Shipping: rate table with an exception

    I want to use the rate table to base shipping charge by order total (price).

    However, the exception case is if the product is a certain physical size "oversized" where the shipping charge will be higher than the highest value in the rate table.

    Any suggestions on how this can be accomplished ?

    One option I can think of is to create an attribute called "oversized" make the cost of it the difference between the maximum charge of the rate table and the oversized charge, and make it read only and then assign it to the oversized products. Only concern is that it won't appear correctly in the price breakout.

    I think you have the answer here... call that attribute "Handling Surcharge" rather than "Shipping Surcharge" and explain to your customers why you invoke it.

    Yiour customers will appreciate that it's a handling charge, and will still see the expected SHIPPING total in their price breakout.
