When selecting a carrier in the drop-down menu, PrestaShop displays a table with all the weight range ranges and geographical zone zones that were set for this carrier, along with the shipping fee for each, tax excluded.

Carrier's weight ranges are set in the "Weight ranges" page of the "Shipping" menu. Carrier's geographical zones are set in the carrier's own setting form, in the "Carriers" page of the "Shipping" menu. Both ranges and zones must be configured in their respective pages in order to have this fee assignment tool work properly. |
The default value is "0.00", which is certainly not what you will want to leave as this pretty much means "free shipping, whatever the weight". You must therefore precisely set the shipping fees for each zone and range, as provided by the carrier itself, or as estimated by you. For instance, if you are sending packages from the US, the fee to Europe might be double or triple the domestic fee.
...
You must perform this for all of your carriers: click the tool's "Save" button when you are done entering your fees for the selected carrier, then choose another carrier in the dropdown list in order to set that carrier's fees for its own range and zone settings.
Carriers
You must have carriers added to your PrestaShop installation – that is, a clear indicator of who will deliver your products. It might be just yourself or your shop (for instance if you are selling downloadable products, or only work locally), but as soon as you are actually sending packages using stamps and a 3rd-party delivery such as your local postal service, or FedEx, UPS and such, then you must have their details added to your shop's database. This will enable your customers to better choose which carrier to use, based on their delivery ranges, fees and dates.
