Shipping cost on a per item basis only??, is it possible?

Hey Everyone,
my client wants to base his shipping costs on a per item basis only.
meaning weight, price, quantity are not factors. each item would need to have it's shipping cost set individually. is there any way to do that?

perhaps diff between gross and net price???

to be clear, for example
lamp = cost is $18, shipping adds $4.00
chair = cost is $15, shipping adds $2.00
rug = cost is $30, but shipping is only $3.75

Re: Shipping cost on a per item basis only??, is it possible?

You might try the Per Unit perweightunit that uses the Product Weight as the cost per item ...

So set Product Weight to 1.25 and the shipping is $1.25 each and 1.75 and shipping is $1.75 each ...

NOTE: be sure to raise the Maximum Weight to 5000 and set the Tare Rates to 0:0 ...

Re: Shipping cost on a per item basis only??, is it possible?

that option came up while discussing so hopefully we can hide all instances of weight from being displayed to the customer,
is the possible?, to hide the weight since it's not really weight

thanks
