Shipping Price Assigned to Each Item--not by Weight

I'm trying to assign a shipping price to an item--without regard to its weight or zip code destination. i found a tutorial on it, and followed it precisely, but it does not work. Please help! Here's the tutorial:

Would like to set up individual shipping charges per item. That is, Item A will cost $25.00 per item to ship and Item B would cost $30.00 per item to ship. How can this be done?

The per-weight shipping module can be used for this.

1. Turn on the Per-Unit (perweightunit) shipping module in Admin->Modules->Shipping

2. Now manually edit each product and enter the shipping cost as the product "weight".
   This module uses the product-weight as the shipping rate for this product ... ie: it is no longer the weight -- it is only the shipping cost.

3. Turn off weight display everywhere, since it is no longer meaningful.
   a) Admin->Catalog->Product Types->[select your product type]->Edit Layout->Show weight->false
   b) Admin->Configuration->Shipping/Packaging->Display Number of Boxes and Weight Status
   c) Admin->Configuration->index listing / all listing / new listing / featured listing ... turn off the weight on these

anyone know how to fix this--or is there something this tutorial is leaving out?

Thanks!

Check your Tare weight in the Shipping/Packaging as that should be set to 0:0 to work with the Per Unit perweightunit shipping module ...

Also, check what the Maximum Page weight is as that will get much higher now that the "weight" is really a price and you probably need to raise that up ...
