Keep in mind that the band limitation of 5 makes these calculations exact only up to 5
lbs. which is adequate for 90% of our sales. Priority orders over 5 lbs. must be shipped
via zones (1-8) so we adjust the shipping manually for those orders before sending the
receipt to the customer. Since Delivery Confirmation is free for "electronic
merchants" no charge for that service is included in the tables below.
I am using Option 7: Calculated by weight or other value in bands. The UNITS are
in pounds. I have selected 5 zones defined as follows:
NAME OF ZONE

The goal, of course, is to have to do as little
adjusting as possible. As I stated before, the above tables are accurate for us about 90%
of the time.
