Need per-item manual entry of shipping cost

Is there any way to manually enter a shipping cost for **each item **(preferably a different one for UK, EU & US delivery) i.e. simply enter the shipping cost in the same way as you would enter the item price?

Why? Well...

I'm building a site for an antique dealer. He sells relatively few, high value items. These have included a life-size bronze sculpture of a head, a 15 foot-long oil painting & a tiny portrait miniature.

He prefers to research shipping prices personally, then use whatever service is cheapest for a particular item. I doubt any automatic shipping module could reliably cope with this wide variability of size, shape, weight, insurance & fragility.

Besides, he's got used to doing it this way, & it's not much work as he is delighted to sell 3 items in a week.

Thanks for your attention.

Re: Need per-item manual entry of shipping cost

I think there is a shipping module from Ceon that does this. It may be called, maybe, CEON shipping module, ro CEON advanced shipping, or something like that. It isn't free but all the feedback seems to suggest it is worth the money.

Re: Need per-item manual entry of shipping cost

Thanks for the advice - the software looks pretty good, & the creator is very helpful.

However, for me, it is overkill - it does far, far, more than I need to do!
