Variable Shipping rate

[guestuser]

I have one product setup. I want to charge a flat shipping rate of $5 per 16oz bag of coffee, $4 for the second bag, and $2 for each bag after the first and second. I have yet to figure out how to do this. Please help. Thanks.

So basically, your shipping table looks like:



1 bag - $5

2 bags - $9

3 bags - $11

4 bags - $13

.

.

100 bags - $205



Say, if your bag costs $2, then the shipping table becomes



For a $2 order, shipping is $5

For a $4 order, shipping is $9

For a $6 order, shipping is $11

.

.

For a $200 order, shipping is $205



Now, in Admin > Shipping Settings, set weight and price of all packaging elements to 0, remove your zipcode and in the handling field enter $205.



This will basically set a flat shipping of $205 for all your orders. Since we don't want that, you should go to Admin > Cart Discounts.



Add the following discounts:



For a min. $2 order, add a 97.56% shipping discount.

note: to calculate the percentage -> (($205-$5)/$205)*100



For a min. $4 order, add a 95.60% shipping discount

note: to calculate the percentage -> (($205-$9)/$205)*100



For a min. $6 order, add a 94.63% shipping discount

.

.

For a min. $200 order, add a 0% shipping discount.



Hope this makes sense
