2) Here, 1 book ships for $7.99 and each additional book adds $1 to shipping
3) This one is 5.95 for shipping, with an extra $2 added when the gift qty is 2, 3 or 4 or 5 (ie, an additional group of 4) four total items, so $7.95
When the total qty is 6, 7, 8, 9 the shipping adds another $2 for that next set of 4, for total $9.95
When the 10th gift is added, shipping goes another $2 to $11.95… (ie, 1st product, two full groups of 4 items, then the 10th is the start of the 3rd group of 4)
4) another example of shipping groups: showing myLab in the upper left, and Lab 50 under it with base pricing. Then on the right, the website showing how qty affects the shipping cost, based on the entries of the shipping groups in myLab.
To set up weight-based shipping (C)
- Use Lab 50
- Store Management > Shipping & Handling Charges
- Click the “add” button at the bottom of the “Weight-based shipping tiers” window. In this example, the base price here is $1.99. For any orders that exceed 3 ounces an additional dollar is added. The chart goes all the way up to 204 ounces with a maximum shipping cost of $28.99.
- To calculate shipping by weight, each product in your product catalog needs to have a weight value entered. This can be done in myLab or Lab 50. For instance, 4x6 is assigned a weight of 0.30 ounces. In this case up to 10 4x6 prints would ship for $1.99 and once 10 were ordered the shipping price would jump to $2.99 as it would exceed 3 ounces total.
