Remember that you can create as many ranges per carrier as needed, so if a carrier can handle more than one, but each in a different way, you should create the complete set of ranges.

Tip

Make sure to not have the ranges overlap! Therefore, the "To" value of a range should not be equal to the "From" value of the next one.

For instance, if one range ends at $20, the next one should start at roughly $20 too. 001. Likewise, if you have to add a range before one that starts at $20, the new one should end roughly at $19$20.999.

Carriers must be set to accept orders within a given weight range. For example, if you want orders between 1 lbs and 15 lbs to be sent by the US Post Office, create a weight range from 1 to 15, and set it to "US Postal Service".

Once the ranges are determined and allotted to a carrier, you can define the shipping and handling for each range. Go to the first page of the "Shipping" menu, and fill out the table found at the bottom of the page.
