Hi juliartz, I think you've misunderstood Ajeh.
She normally asks such questions to help us think through our own questions and help herself understand your question better. In fact, I've personally seen her asking herself such questions while thinking through some coding problems too.
Ok, with regards to your question. Currently, Zen Cart does not offer per-product shipping option.
So if you have only flat rate shipping option set up, then customers checking out with whatever number of items will only see that shipping option.
Since you have the book, you can turn to pg 123 for more information on setting up the Flat Rate shipping module.
First, I would like to apologize to Ajeh if I did misunderstand her response, but when you are a total dummy in these things, and you've searched and searched to no avail, frustration usually dictates a response when it appears to be a sarcastic one. That is how I read it.
Second~ so to understand you correctly, are you saying that I CANNOT have different shipping methods set up? I can choose only one? So that would also mean that if I had a normal shipping method set up by lets say weight, then I could not also have shipping set up for one item as free? The item in question are bookmarks that I make, and even using the weight to ship these, calculate way too high. So on this one item only, I need to either have it set up as a flat rate or free then, and I would build shipping into the price. If I can't do either, then how do I set it up by weight that won't put a laminated bookmark with shipping that equals the bookmark price itself? This is where the frustration come in.
