I want to update my manual shipping prices. I want to give each product a weight but then I want to add a "package weight" to the total order. To try to explain better here is an example: Product A = 600g Product B = 1000g Packaging = 500g 1. customer buys ProductA so shipping weight = Product weight of 600g + packaging weight of 500g = 1.1kg in total 2. customer buys a multiple of ProductA x 3 so shipping weight = (600g x 3) + 500g = 2.3kg 3. customer buys ProductA + ProductB so shipping weight = (600g + 1000g) + 500g = 2.1kg The packaging weight does not change even when I order more products. If I set each product weight to be the actual weight plus the packaging then example 1. above would be correct at 1.1kg but examples 2 & 3 above would be wrong: 2. would become (600+500)x3 = 3.3kg 3. would become (600+500)+(1000+500)=2.6kg Is this explanation clear? Do you know what I mean? Is it possible to do this?

Do you know what I mean? Is it possible to do this? Thanks Niamh")* Hi, I suppose that you have already configured several shipping methods with weight restrictions. For example something like that: from 0 to 2kg => €10 of shipping from 2 to 4 kg => €15 of shipping ...etc... So instead of adding a fixed weight to the total weight of the cart (for which there is no option in HikaShop), you could do the reverse and reduce the weight restriction of your shipping methods by that fixed weight, like that: from 0 to 1.5kg => €10 of shipping from 1.5 to 3.5 kg => €15 of shipping ...etc...
