Works as advertised, very flexible and can largely replace official plugins.

  • The official table rate shipping plugin over at Woothemes runs something like $99.

    This one is free.

    I’ve used both now.

    This one is easy to use. The official one is a bit more difficult to learn at first. The official one does have a few more options, but for most scenarios, this plugin works well, specifically:

    Different Rates to Different Countries

    Want to charge Canada $5 / order and the US $10 / order? You can do that.

    Want to charge Germany, England and Italy $50 shipping / order but the rest of the world nothing? Easily done.

    Different Rates Based on Weight

    Want to charge $1 shipping if the cart’s total weight is only 1 kilo, but $5 shipping if the weight is over 1 kilo? No problem.

    You can add in multiple entries, like:

    0lbs – 10lbs, $5 shipping
    10.1lbs – 15lbs, $7.50 shipping
    15.1lbs or more, $15 shipping

    Add any weights or dollar amounts you’d like, and you can combine this with the country filters, too.

    So you can charge different amounts based on weight & country at the same time.

    Other Bonuses

    # Choose whether to charge tax on the shipping or not.
    # Choose whether to add a single handling fee to the entire order.

    Kudos to the plugin’s author for creating such a great plugin, and distributing it for free!
