# Examples:

You can create different shipping costs for the same type of shipping method. The system will choose the one with the highest shipping cost per shipping method.
Example: If shipping 1 to 50 pieces would cost 10 EUR, but you are also selling very heavy products, which means the cost per shipping will be higher, you can set the shipping cost weight as well. Simply set another condition whereby 20 to 200 kilograms costs 50 EUR. The system will automatically choose the shipping cost per weight.

Note

Generally you should be able to avoid this type of situations, but knowing this can be useful in case you are selling a variety of products of different shapes, sizes and weights. You can prepare several additional shipping methods and add shipping costs accordingly, but be careful, as the more shipping costs you prepare the more thorough you have to be.
