How To Calculate Shipping Based on Address & Weight  en

I am trying to figure out the best way to calculate shipping on my website.  Calculating a shipping on weight is a start, but the cost varies drastically depending on their address.  Is there anyway to calculate shipping using the delivery address and the weight?

Hello. As far as I know, this cannot be done at the moment.
You can set the price for shipping to a specific country. Also you can make the shipping price depending on the weight of the product.
But you will not be able to set different prices for the weight of the product depending on the country.

Sorry Aleksej, but I think you can add an uplift for selected countries under each shipping option. Its a lot of work to find out the real costs from each shipping company for dedicated countries, but in principle its possible.

"Sorry Aleksej, but I think you can add an uplift for selected countries under each shipping option." - Yes. That's why I wrote: "You can set the price for shipping to a specific country.".
But we can't set something like this:


Country 1
Product weight >= 10 ($10)
Product weight >= 20 ($20)
Product weight >= 30 ($30)


Country 2
Product weight >= 10 ($15)
Product weight >= 20 ($25)
Product weight >= 30 ($35)

Or am I misunderstanding something?

Hello Aleksej, your example could work, if you set +5 $ for Country 2, because the price difference between the base price is always the same. It doesn't work anymore, if you need a different price gap per weight and per country like:

Country 2
Product weight >= 10 ($15)
Product weight >= 20 ($27)
Product weight >= 30 ($45)

But one option is better then nothing.

Thanks for the help.  I currently am building the shopping cart to charger per weight.  I will keep building this way.  I was hoping there was a plug-in to buy that would calculate actual shipping rates from USPS or FedEx.  I appreciate all the responses.

"It doesn't work anymore, if you need a different price gap per weight and per country like" - That's exactly what I thought. In the example, I unsuccessfully showed the same difference.
